Skeleton Key
Brave a game of Skeleton Key for a chance to win a number of bonuses and cash prizes.
Skeleton Key Game Overview
The bet sizes available in Skeleton Key range from 10p to £20.
There are up to 7,776 paylines available in this game.
Reel Expansion
This feature is triggered when a Key Scatter symbol lands on any reel.
It sees that reel expand from the initial three symbol positions high to six symbol positions high.
Once expanded, the Key symbol will be removed from the reels and empty positions will be replaced with new symbols from above.
It's not possible for a Key symbol to fall from above.
Symbols will continue to fall into empty reel spaces until there are no Key symbols present.
Only one Key symbol can land per reel, per spin - it's possible for more than one to land throughout the game though.
Wins are calculated following the reel expansion when symbols have stopped falling.
The reel window will return to six symbol positions high on the next spin - after that, it will decrease one position with each spin until it returns to three symbol positions high.
A Key symbol appearing on the subsequent spins will see that reel expand to six symbol positions high and the sequence resets.
Reel heights in the base game are saved separately for each bet level and remain between play sessions.
Wild Symbol
Wilds may only appear on reels two to five in the main game and Free Spins.
Mystery Symbol
Mystery symbols may appear on any spin.
They can magic into any other symbol except Key, Bonus or Wild symbols.
All Mystery symbols present will transform into the same symbol.
MultiWay Xtra Feature
This bonus offers between 243 and 7,776 ways to win on every spin, based on the Reel Expansion feature.
You'll be paid for matching symbols in any position in adjacent columns, starting from the leftmost column.
If there's more than one matching symbol in any one column, your award will be multiplied.
During MultiWay Xtra, Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Key, Mystery and Bonus symbols.
You'll only be paid the highest-value MultiWay Xtra win for each symbol, per spin.
Free Spins Bonus
Land at least three Bonus Scatters anywhere on the reels to enable Free Spins - the more that land, the more spins you'll win:
Bonus Symbols | Free Spins Awarded |
|---|---|
| 3 | 10 |
| 4 | 20 |
| 5 | 30 |
The bonus will be re-triggered if two or more Bonus Scatter symbols land while playing Free Spins.
It can be re-triggered up to a maximum of 200 free spins per bonus.
The amount of spins you win will depend on the number of Bonus symbols:
Bonus Symbols | Free Spins Awarded |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 10 |
| 4 | 20 |
| 5 | 30 |
The features commences with a three symbol position-high reel window - it works the same way as the Reel Expansion feature in the base game.
There's also an accumulating multiplier available in Free Spins starting at 1x.
For every Key symbol that lands, you'll be awarded another 1x multiplier, which is added to the accumulating multiplier.
All symbols, including the Key, can fall from above in the Free Spins Bonus; Mystery symbols can also transform into a Key symbol.
If more than one Key symbol appears on any reel in this round, you'll receive a 1x multiplier.
Symbols continue to fall and fill empty positions until there are no Keys present.
The feature ends when all spins have been used or you reach the maximum number of free spins (200).
Wins are calculated at the end of each free spin once reel expansions, falling symbols, Mystery symbol transformations or multiplier increases have taken place.
The accumulating multiplier value will be applied to all wins.
