Nauticus Free Spins and Bonus Games
3 or more Scatters of a kind in the game screen trigger free spins and bonus rounds.
Free Spins
Free Spins Scatter can win you free spins. 3 symbols award you 10 free spins, 4 - 15 free spins, 5 - 20, 40 or 60 free spins. In the last case, the number of free spins is random. In this round you play the latest bet you have set in the regular mode.
The special Wild symbol - Sticky Wild - comes into action during free spins. By appearing on the reels it can stay fixed in the same field for up to 5 spins. The number on the symbol displays how many spins it will stay fixed.
Pick a Mine
If three or more Mine Scatters appear in the game screen you will get a chance to play the Pick a Mine round. You need to pick one of the mines on the game screen by clicking it. Each mine hides your reward in credits. You can only pick one mine for a bonus game.
Torpedo
3, 4 or 5 Torpedo Scatters launch the Torpedo bonus game. Your main goal is to shoot sea mines with torpedos using the Fire button. This round features 15 levels in total. You get 3 torpedoes for each mine. Note that the torpedo tube sways as you shoot, so you need to take this into account while choosing the moment to shoot. You win a reward for each shot mine.
Some of the mines are bonus. They look different from ordinary ones. These mines can explode when you shoot the mine found right below. So, you can shoot more mines quicker. The game will stop once you shoot all mines or once you fail to shoot a mine. Rewards won during free spins and bonus games are transferred to your account after the round.
