Every Win Triggers an Avalanche and Bigger Reels
Shifting Seas is all about the expanding reels and avalanche wins combining.
First, every win is an Avalanche Win. Here, winning symbols are removed from the reels and new ones drop in to replace them. If a new winning combination occurs, the process repeats. Until no more wins land.
At the same time, with Shift Wins, the right-most reel drops off the end and a new reel is added to the left. Each new reel is one higher than the last, up to a maximum of 7 rows high.
Once all 6 reels are 7 rows high you have 117,649 paylines.

Wilds are super-important here too. Outside of free spins they are your best ticket to bigger wins and I got some tasty payouts with these extra features.
First, if one of the three wilds appears in a win OR if it is pushed off the grid by a Shift Win, then it is activated, and one of three events occurs.
In a Boost Shift, the reel added to the left side of the reel set will clone the previous left most reel to give you more chance of completing lines.
In Symbol Rush, between 4 and 8 symbols on the reels are transformed into new, identical ones.
And in Wild Surge, between 1 and 3 symbols on the reels are turned Wild.
In Wild Surge 1 to 3 Wilds Are Added at RandomFree Spins With Wild Reels and Progressive Multipliers
I love the free spins round in Shifting Seas. Its clever and builds beautifully with a combination of re-triggers, reel expansions and progressive multipliers for the chance to really kick out some big payouts.
To start, you’ll need to find a BONUS SYMBOL on the reels. If you do, and it drops off in a Shift Win situation, that’s your Free Spins trigger.
That gets you 8 spins, with 4 added each time another bonus symbol drops off the reels.
During free spins random WILD REELS may land with 1x multipliers. This is important because each time a Wild Reel drops off the right of the grid, it comes back in on the left, this time with its multiplier increased by 1x AND another free spins is added!
Now, imagine 2 or 3 wild reels on the board, each with 2x or 3x multipliers generating more free spins and bigger payouts each time! That’s to dream of …
