Further, the Buffet Bonanza log activates the free spin round in which all the payments are doubled and wild symbols are added to 2nd and 4th reels during free spins.

The game offers payouts up to 20,000 in the base game and a treasure trove of up to 100,000 in the free spins, thanks to the fact that the free spins multiply the payout five times over. If the player manages to collect and save 10 Golden Idols, whenever the symbol appears on reel 3, the bonus round will be triggered. Finally, there is this gamble game that is typical of all Microgaming casinos, which gives the players a chance to double or quadruple their investments.
