How the Game Plays

The Great Herd, developed by Backseat Gaming, transports players to the sun-drenched plains of Africa on a 6x5 grid. Breaking away from traditional paylines, the game utilizes a scatter pays mechanic where winning combinations are formed by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere in view. Winning symbols are removed via a tumble system, allowing new ones to drop in and potentially create consecutive wins in a single spin.

Tumble Multiplier Explained

The standout feature of this slot is the Tumble Multiplier. Each symbol involved in a winning connection adds its value to a total tumble multiplier. While this multiplier starts as inactive at the beginning of every sequence, it can be unlocked by landing a special trigger symbol. If this activator is present on the grid at the end of the tumbles, the accumulated multiplier is applied to the total win of that spin sequence.

Free Spins Explained

Triggered by landing a specific number of scatter symbols, the free spins round enhances the game's high-volatility potential. During this bonus, the core tumble and multiplier mechanics remain active, often with improved persistence or higher multiplier values to help reach the game's maximum win cap of 15,000x the bet.
