Main featuresThe side reel can climb to 20x. A Bonus symbol unlocks it and may carry a separate multiplier up to 50x, so the timing of that symbol decides whether the accumulated value is used. Four to six scatters award 10–20 free spins with the side reel already unlocked. Six scatters open Super Free Spins, where that multiplier does not reset between spins.

What changes in the feature

The side reel can climb to 20x. A Bonus symbol unlocks it and may carry a separate multiplier up to 50x, so the timing of that symbol decides whether the accumulated value is used.

The practical limitation

Four to six scatters award 10–20 free spins with the side reel already unlocked. Six scatters open Super Free Spins, where that multiplier does not reset between spins.

How to read the published specification

As an editorial summary, the attraction lies in the relationship between the base game and its named feature rather than in the headline ceiling. The limitation is equally concrete: the required trigger and follow-up events remain conditional, so a feature can end without developing through every possible stage. Waves of Poseidon’s saved specification lists the 6×5 layout, Pays anywhere paylines, 96.55% RTP, a published 5,000x maximum. These values describe the reviewed version and should be checked against the version available locally, because operators can offer different settings.

The recorded feature summary is specific: The side reel can climb to 20x A Bonus symbol unlocks it and may carry a separate multiplier up to 50x so the timing of that symbol decides whether the accumulated value is used Four to six scatters award 10 20 free spins with the side reel already unlocked Six scatters open Super Free Spins where that multiplier does not reset between spins. Each trigger, modifier and award should be read as a separate condition; seeing one element does not guarantee that the later steps will occur.

How the core sequence works

A high locked value has no standalone cash value; it needs a Bonus symbol or the feature rules to activate it. For context, Fortune of Olympus uses a different structure within the same catalogue.
