How the base game plays
The grid is six reels by five rows with 19 fixed lines paying left to right from reel one. Premiums are bar drinks — beer, cocktail, whiskey, wine — and the green cocktail tops the paytable at 50x for six of a kind. Card ranks ten through ace fill out the lows, with the smallest bottoming out at 3x for a six-of-a-kind line. The base hit rhythm is sparse. Wild multiplier symbols can land on reels two through five, and each carries a numeric multiplier value applied only when it joins a winning line. Without one of those wilds in the picture, base wins are forgettable. The whole math leans on the wild stack.
How the Wild Multiplier mechanic works
Four wild multiplier symbols anchor the math, each locked to a specific reel for its expansion behaviour. Blue Sapphire on reel two carries 2x, 3x or 4x. Red Jürgen on reel three runs 5x through 9x. Yellow Johnny on reel four reaches 25x. Green Faye on reel five tops out at 200x. Any of the four can land on any of reels two through five, but the expansion only fires when a wild lands on its linked reel and joins a winning line. When that happens, the wild expands to cover the full reel and keeps its multiplier value. Multiple expanded wild reels combine additively, not multiplicatively — important to internalize, because two expanded wilds at 100x and 200x give a 300x boost, not a 20,000x one. That additive rule is what holds the 15,000x cap intact.
The free spins round
Two bonus modes, both worth reaching. Three scatters anywhere on reels two through five trigger It Begins, which awards 10 free spins with a baked-in higher rate of wild multiplier landings. Two extra scatters mid-round add 2 more spins, three add 4. Four scatters trigger Last Orders, also 10 spins, and this is where the math opens up. Last Orders introduces persistent Spirit Reels — when a wild multiplier lands on its linked reel during the round, that reel becomes permanently activated for the remainder. From that point on, the wild assigned to that reel will expand into a full wild reel whenever it shows up anywhere on reels two through five, provided the line pays. Stacking three or four Spirit Reels is the path to the 15,000x ceiling, and it is also the part of the game that justifies the high-volatility tag.
Bet limits, Ante Bet and Bonus Buy
Stakes run from CA$0.15 to CA$75 per spin. The Bonus Buy menu has four entries: BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 96.29% RTP (scatters land five times more often, very high variance), Spirit Reel FeatureSpins at 96.29% (every spin guarantees at least three wild multipliers, extreme variance), It Begins direct purchase at 96.32%, and Last Orders direct purchase at 96.31%. Every buy variant sits within 0.07 points of the 96.36% base, which is unusually clean — most providers shave half a point or more off buy RTP. Exact stake multiples for each buy depend on the operator's build and are not published on the provider's information screen.

Worth a session if you want a clean, mid-ceiling, high-volatility wild-multiplier game and you trust the buy menu enough to skip the wait. The persistent Spirit Reels stretch in Last Orders is genuinely the strongest part of the design, and the buy RTPs are honest by 2026 standards. The trade-off is the 15,000x cap, which sits well below what the volatility class would normally suggest and means even a strong bonus rarely runs all the way to the ceiling. Best for players who like the four-wild expanding framework, accept a modest ceiling and want the bonus often enough to buy in directly rather than grind for it.
- Buy RTPs of 96.29–96.32% sit unusually close to the 96.36% base, with no predatory haircut for buying in
- Four distinct wild characters with reel-locked multiplier ranges keep the symbol identity legible at a glance
- Persistent Spirit Reels in Last Orders give the bonus a real escalation curve once a reel locks in
- High-volatility wild-and-multiplier setup without the 94%-range RTP variant operators usually configure for these mechanics
- 15,000x max win is modest for a 2026 high-volatility release; the parent studio ships ceilings five to ten times higher
- 19 fixed paylines and additive (not multiplicative) wild stacking cap the upside before the bonus arrives
- Base game runs cold without a wild in frame, so the whole pitch is the bonus

FAQ
Hacksaw Gaming is on the iGaming Ontario registered supplier list, and Kitsune Studios releases distribute through the Hacksaw pipeline, so Ontario coverage at AGCO-licensed casinos is the expected outcome. Operator menus typically lag a launch by a week or two — confirm the title is in the provider's catalogue before chasing it. Alberta players will get access as iGO Alberta operators come online through 2026; elsewhere in Canada, expect offshore operators.
The Spirit Reel FeatureSpins buy carries the "extreme" variance label and guarantees at least three wild multipliers per spin — that is the fastest path to stacking the expanded wild reels needed to approach the cap. Last Orders direct purchase is the next route because of the persistent Spirit Reels mechanic. Both come at 96.29–96.31% RTP, so the cost is paid in variance rather than house edge.
It Begins triggers on three scatters and runs 10 spins with a higher wild-multiplier landing rate, otherwise identical to the base game. Last Orders triggers on four scatters and adds the Spirit Reels mechanic: once a wild lands on its linked reel during the round, that reel stays active and any future copy of that wild expands fully across the reels for the rest of the bonus.
Bonus hit frequency is not published by the studio. The four-scatter Last Orders trigger is the rarer of the two by a wide margin given the standard mechanics; expect the three-scatter It Begins to be the bonus reached organically over a session, and Last Orders to be a buy-or-wait outcome unless variance breaks favourably.
The published configurations are 96.36% base and 96.29–96.32% across the four buy modes. No 94%-range build has been confirmed for the launch package. Operators occasionally enable lower RTP variants without notice — always check the in-game info screen before the first spin and walk away if a build sits more than a point below the canonical 96.36%.
