The Game
What game is available?
Wreckfest Slots — a five-reel, three-row, ten-payline slot machine inspired by the demolition derby world. It features wild symbols, free spins, and a virtual jackpot.
How does the Wild symbol work?
The Wild symbol substitutes for any regular symbol to help complete winning combinations. It does not substitute for the Jackpot or Free Spin symbols.
How do Free Spins trigger?
Land three or more Free Spin symbols in a single spin to trigger a round of free bonus spins. Your virtual balance is not reduced during free spins.
How does the Jackpot work?
A portion of each virtual bet feeds the progressive jackpot pool. Hit five Jackpot symbols across a win line and the full jackpot credits to your virtual balance. The pool then resets.
What is the starting virtual balance?
You start with 100,000 virtual coins. If your balance falls very low, it is automatically topped up so you can keep playing for free.
