How the Game Plays

Laced transports you to a hazy, neon-lit apartment where a character known as "The Dude" spends his time relaxing on a couch amidst clouds of smoke. This Shady Lady production features a 5x6 grid with up to 7,776 ways to win, though many positions are initially blocked by green "Bud" symbols. Winning combinations are formed by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels. When a win occurs, the symbols disappear to allow a cascade of new ones to fall into place. To clear the blockers and expand the number of active ways, you must land a Lighter symbol, which triggers the Burning Buds mechanic to reveal mystery symbols underneath.

Free Spins Explained

Landing three Clock Scatters during a single sequence triggers the standard Free Spins round with six spins. For those who land four scatters, the Super Free Spins mode is activated with eight spins. In both versions, the frequency of Bud symbols and Lighter symbols is significantly increased compared to the base game. The Super Bonus specifically prioritizes "Laced Buds," which are more likely to generate high-value wild multipliers than the standard versions, creating potential for more explosive win sequences.

Burning Buds and Multipliers Explained

The core of the action revolves around the interaction between Lighters and Bud symbols. While standard green buds transform into matching pay symbols, specialized Purple and Gold Laced Buds offer much higher potential. Once ignited by a Lighter, Purple Buds summon a 1x1 Purple Elephant Wild with a multiplier up to 3x. The even rarer Gold Buds summon a massive 2x2 Golden Elephant Wild that can carry a multiplier of up to 100x, which is then applied to any winning combinations it assists.
