Rules and payouts – The Oil Barons

The game uses five reels, five rows and 15 fixed paylines.

Winning combinations are counted from left to right, and the highest win per payline is paid.

Simultaneous wins on different paylines are added together.

Wild substitutes for all other symbols except bonus and VS symbols, and Wild can land on every reel.

Struck Oil triggers with at least three Struck Oil symbols in the base game and awards 10 free spins.

During the Struck Oil feature all Wild symbols remain locked in place.

Contract Duel triggers with at least three Duel symbols in the base game and awards 10 free spins; VS symbols appear there more often than usual.

The Gusher activates with at least three Gusher symbols in the base game and starts with three respins.

In the first phase of The Gusher up to 20 Wilds can be collected and a total multiplier of up to 31x.

Each Wild or multiplier gained in The Gusher resets the respin count to three and increases the corresponding meter.

In the second phase of The Gusher three free spins are awarded; collected Wilds move to the reels and wins are multiplied by the collected multiplier.

VS symbol expands to full reel height in a winning combination and reveals two multipliers up to 100x, one of which remains in effect.

If there are VS multipliers on different reels in the same spin, they are summed and applied to all line wins.

Possible multipliers for the VS symbol are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x and 100x.

Free spins are played at the stake that triggered the feature, and the bonus feature cannot be re-triggered during it.
