Squid Game is all about unlocking three features that are based on games that contestants have to take part in during the TV series. They are unlocked by landing 3 BONUS symbols – one each on reels 1, 3 and 5. When the third BONUS symbol lands on reel 5 then it reveals the feature that is unlocked. They are as follows:
Red Light Green Light Bonus and Jackpot Prizes
This feature is based on a famous scene from the show. It is set in an enclosed area with a giant doll-girl stood at the end. You must choose how many steps forward you wish to take forward towards the girl and the finish line – 1, 2, 3 or 4.
If you successfully complete your steps forward then you are awarded a multiplier. But if you don’t, then you are killed off! More steps means greater multiplier values, but more chance of being killed.
- 1 Step – 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x multiplier
- 2 Steps – 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or 20x multiplier
- 3 Steps – 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x or 50x multiplier
- 4 Steps – 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x or 100x multiplier
Multipliers are collected with each step or group of steps and are activated when die – in other words they don’t get cancelled out.
The round doesn’t end when your each the doll-girl. Now you get the chance to win one of the jackpots in a Pick Me bonus. Jackpots are displayed on the left of the card and you have to find THREE matching soldier characters who reveal circle, triangle, square or masks on their faces when clicked.
Jackpots are as follows:
- Mini (Circle) – 4.56x
- Minor (Triangle) – 45.6x
- Major (Square) – 456x
- Grand (Mask) – 4,560x
At least one of the four prizes is GUARANTEED to be awarded.
Glass Bridge Bonus
In the Glass Bridge you are presented with a glass bridge along which you can progress 18 spaces in all. Whatever happens you are guaranteed to get to the free spins round. However, you want to stay on that bridge as long as possible because each move that keeps on you on there will award you a special upgrade to the free spins round. An unsuccessful move means you fall through the glass before the free spins kick in. You will be awarded one more upgrade before the spins start.
The upgrades are:
- 1, 2 or 3 extra spins
- A Wild Upgrade *
- An extra 1x multiplier
- 1 low value pay symbol removed
*There are THREE wild upgrades.
Glass Bridge Bonus Feature with Free SpinsThe Falling Wild causes each wild that lands during free spins to remain on the reels but drop one row with each spin until they fall off the grid.
The Walking Wild causes each wild that lands during free spins to remain on the reels but move one reel to the left with each spin until they fall off the grid.
The Locked Wild causes each wild that lands during free spins to lock in place for the rest of the round.
Tug of War Bonus
The Tug of War sees a Wild Reel appear somewhere on the grid. It can be pulled to the left or right by the teams on either side of the reels with each spin. On some occasions, more Wild Reels will be revealed for a spin, up to a maximum of 4.
The round keeps going until the wild reel is pulled off the grid to left or right. Between 3 and 10 wilds are randomly added to the grid at this point for a final payout before the round ends.
