How the Game Plays

Ways of the Gauls transports players to the ancient, mystical forests of Gallia. Utilizing an Extraways engine, the number of symbols on the five vertical reels changes with every spin, while a special horizontal reel sits atop the central three columns. Winning combinations are formed by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost side. High-value symbols are inspired by Celtic culture, featuring winged helmets, horns, battle axes, and a fierce warrior. The Druid serves as the Wild, appearing on the middle reels to complete winning sequences.

Free Spins Explained

Landing three or more Cauldron Scatters triggers the Free Spins round, awarding an initial 6 spins. During this feature, the symbols on the top horizontal reel shift one position to the left after every spin, increasing the frequency of interactions with the vertical reels. The feature can be retriggered by landing three additional Scatters, providing another 6 spins to the remaining total.

Respin Feature and Jackpots Explained

The Respin feature is triggered by landing six or more Shield Bonus symbols. This is a classic Hold and Win mechanic where the triggering symbols lock into place and the player receives three respins. Only new Bonus symbols or Triskelion symbols can land; each new arrival resets the respin counter. This phase is the path to the four fixed jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. Filling every available position on the grid with symbols awards the Grand Jackpot.

Extra Potion Feature

Unique to this slot is the Extra Potion symbol that only appears on the top horizontal reel. When a Potion Jar lands directly above a Wild symbol on the vertical reels, it applies a multiplier of x2, x4, x8, or x16 to that Wild. If it lands above a Bonus symbol, it transforms it into a Triskelion, which is vital for resetting the counter or enhancing values during the Respin mode.
