Like most of Elk’s latest titles, Buggin comes packed with buy-able features via their in-game xiter feature.
Let’s find out if this game can make you bug out with big wins or not below.
Slot Features:
Big Symbols
Any pay symbol may appear as big symbols of 2×2 or 3×3 in dimension. Big symbols pay as the amount of 1×1 symbols they cover.
Cascading Wins
Winning symbols pop off the board by the cascading wins system, and symbols drop down to replace them. Wild symbols are not removed when used in a win. If there were no wilds in the cluster win, a wild symbol with an x1 multiplier is spawned in one of the empty positions before symbols drop. Multiple wild symbols in a winning cluster merge into one Wild, adding their multiplier values.
A wild symbol may be part of several winning clusters so that it may be added to several wild mergers. Multiple wild multipliers in a win will be added together. When no new win appears, the cascade run ends, and if there are any collected Feature Wilds, they are then released.
Progress Bar & Feature Wilds
Winning symbols advance the progress bar above the reels. When reaching the end of the progress bar, a random Feature Wild is collected on the leftmost empty slot in the Wild Inventory, and the meter is reset. When no more wins
occur, the collected Feature Wilds are released onto the reels. A Feature Wild on the grid that is part of a win activates, performing its modifier and remaining wild.
Big – expands a pay symbol into a 2×2 or 3×3 prominent symbol. Covered symbols are removed.
Multiplying adds a multiplier value to all wild symbols but is not part of a win.
Random – replaces 2 to 4 pay symbols with regular wilds.
Removing – removes all instances of the lowest paying symbol from the grid.
Upgrading – upgrades all instances of a pay symbol type.
Wild Redrops
For each spin, one of the Feature Wilds on the Wild Inventory will have a Wild Redrop target on it. Collecting Feature Wilds up to the target awards a Wild Redrop with this amount of Feature Wilds. Collecting additional Feature Wilds adds to the number of Feature Wilds in the Wild Redrop.
Wild Redrops run when no more wins occur. Regular wilds remain sticky, and the collected Feature Wilds are prefilled and released. Wild Redrops can retrigger but are not available in the super bonus game.
Free Spins Bonus Game
Landing three scatters triggers seven free spins. If at least one of the triggering scatters is a super scatter, then seven super-free spins are awarded. Regular wild symbols are sticky in the bonus round and between free spins. All Feature Wilds in the Wild Inventory are locked at the start of super free spins.
They are unlocked when collected for the first time. The following free spin begins with a prefill and release of the number of unlocked Feature Wilds. In both round types, landing three scatter symbols triggers +3 free spins, and if at least one is a super scatter, free spins are upgraded to super free spins.
X-iter
The X-iter feature allows players to buy into various game modes, all of which have the same 94% RTP value.
Bonus Hunt – drops cost 3x the bet and have a higher chance of triggering the Bonus.
2 Feature Wilds – 5x the bet for a game round with 2 Feature Wilds prefilled and released.
4 Feature Wilds – 10x the bet for a game round with 4 Feature Wilds prefilled and released.
Bonus – 100x the bet to buy free spins.
Super Bonus – 500x the bet to buy super free spins.
Summary:
As always, with games featuring the Elk Xiter mechanics, you feel that you will either win big within the Free spins or have your pants pulled down for 500x your stake.
In this Buggin follows, it’s an enjoyable game to play, but if you don’t get the perfect wild set-up with the multipliers in effect, you’re in for a big loss. Get said set, and you’re in for a big win.
