Renovate is when each of the four low value symbols on the grid is converted to a higher value one or carries a wild. Restore is when up to 7 extra positions are opened up above the present grid and new tiles are added. Transmute is when between 2 and 7 symbols on reels 2 through to 6 are turned wild. The total multiplier is the accumulated win for the spin and this is multiplied by the wheel value. The bet multiplier is when player´s stake is multiplied by the wheel value.
Free spins is where the excitement accelerates and players are granted initially five free spins which is powered by the win multiplier from the Wheel of Fortune feature and this can be triggered indefinitely until no more winning combinations can be found.
