A green card with the Wild word and the multiplier is the Wild symbol. It can replace any other icon on the game screen, except for the Scatter symbol.
To the right of the reels you can see the Multiplier Bet Panel. It involves four buttons. Each of them activates the size of multipliers on Wild symbols. Activation of these buttons multiplies the current total bet:
- Multipliers from x1 to x2 — 40 credits
- Multipliers from x2 to x4 — 60 credits
- Multipliers from x3 to x6 — 90 credits
- Multipliers from x4 to x10 — 120 credits
The cost of the multipliers activation is achieved if you place the maximum bet. Every spin will activate a multiplier of the activated range. It is displayed above the reels in the Wild section. The highlighted figure shows multipliers which will be activated in the current spin.
Multiplier Wild is not only the Wild, it also multiplies a prize for a combination in which it takes part. The prize is multiplied by a figure which you can see on the Multiplier Wild symbol.
Bonus Scatter symbols activate a free spins round. These are icons with a wheel and the Bonus word.
Free spins round of the Hidden Valley slot
When three Bonus Scatter symbols land on the game screen, the free spins round of the Hidden Valley slot is triggered. This winning combination will award you two times your current bet. The bet and the range of multipliers of Wild symbols during free spins are the same as in the previous spin before their activation.
After the launch of free spins two wheels appear in the game screen. You can launch it with the Start button. The outer wheel helps to determine additional Wild symbol, which will take part in the free spins round. The inner wheel displays the number of free spins. It ranges from 7 to 12 spins.
If during free spins two Bonus Scatter symbols appear on the game screen, you will get one additional Wild symbol or additional free spins. You should be between two boxes, then it will open and you will see your win.
Additional Wild symbols are only active during free spins. Three symbols of the regular game mode turn into Wilds:
- A man with long brown hair and beard
- A blonde with blue eyes
- A Chinese man in winter clothes
Additional Wild symbols, except for Multiplier Wild and the Bonus Scatter symbol, replace any other icons on the game screen to build winning combinations.
During the free spins round two more sections are added:
- Free Spins — the number of free spins remaining
- Total Win — the total win for free spins
After free spins are done, you return to the basic game mode.
The Hidden Valley slot has high variance. It means that you will rarely collect winning combinations but they will be high-paying. The slot includes lots of bonuses so a new user may find it difficult to understand. It is better suited to an experienced player.
