Let’s play
We start the game machine by paying it. We see a new board being generated, with above and to the right a reward bar, and a spinner containing numbers and symbols to match.
The rewards on the reward bar are all greyed out. We’ll have to activate them in order to collect them.
Let’s get to that a bit later. First have a look at the spinner. We can match the number 4 and have two wilds, a green wild and a blue wild. The green wild can be used to match any number on the board, the blue wild to match any number in the same column.
Thus we could e.g. match the numbers 4, 21 and 35 in order to work on completing the diagonal. That would after this round only needs 1 match more to be completed.
For each match we make we get points,
- 50 points for a blue tile,
- 100 points for a golden tile.
- 500 points for completing a line (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal)
- 2000 points for matching all tiles on the gold pattern.
- 5000 points for matching all tiles on the board.
X2 : Double scores
Somewhere on the board is a X2 multiplier hidden. Find it, match it, and you will make double scores while matching tiles, lines, the pattern and/or the board.
When the game starts you cannot know where the X2 is hidden. It can be under any of the 16 tiles. But you will get help, every tile you match will give you a hint about where the X2 is.

When the game starts you cannot know where the X2 is hidden. It can be under any of the 16 tiles. But you will get help, every tile you match will give you a hint about where the X2 is.
Every tile you match will show an arrow pointing towards the tile where the X2 is. This arrow is either horizontal, vertical or diagonal. In the example here to the left you see one tile without an arrow, that is because the tile is not on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line as the X2.
In this example the X2 is clearly at the tile with the number 4.
Note that this would already be clear also without the horizontal arrow between 19 and 35. The two vertical arrows show it needs to be 4 or 5, the one tile without an arrow shows it cannot be 5. Thus, only 4 remains.
Activating rewards
All the rewards you see above and to the right of the board are useless until the moment you activate them. Only after you activate it, a reward can be collected.
You activate rewards by completing lines.
When a reward that should be activated is already activated the first available reward on the same reward bar will be activated, in the order left to right or top to bottom.
Completing a line always activates a reward, unless all rewards on the bar are already activated.
Completing diagonals is often a wise part of a strategy: It activates 2 rewards.
All the rewards you see above and to the right of the board are useless until the moment you activate them. Only after you activate it, a reward can be collected.
You activate rewards by completing lines.
- Complete a vertical line to activate the reward above that line.
- Complete a horizontal line to activate the reward right from that line.
- Complete a diagonal line to activate on each reward bar the first reward.
When a reward that should be activated is already activated the first available reward on the same reward bar will be activated, in the order left to right or top to bottom.
Completing a line always activates a reward, unless all rewards on the bar are already activated.
Because the diagonals work left to right and up to down, the first rewards of a reward bar are easier to activate than the last ones.
Wilds
The blue wild
allows you to match a tile of your choice in the same column, the green wild
allows you to match a tile anywhere on the board.
There is one more wild, the collect any wild.
This collect any wild can be used on two ways, and you can choose how you use it:
- As a blue wild
- To collect a reward that is activated.
You collect an activated reward by clicking on it.
Use this collect any wild wise. You don’t know how many you will get of them during your game.
The Pot
Besides winning the game you can also win a pot playing fire. The pot is displayed on the game machine. This is the amount you will get when you win the pot.
You win the pot by collecting all rewards op the top reward bar, in the order left to right. Thus the first reward you collect on that bar has to be the most left one, then the second from the left, and so on.

Every time a player completes the gold pattern
on the game board, the game increases the pot with 5% of the costs of the game. Thus if you paid the game L$100, the pot will increase with L$5.
The pot will always be higher than the lowest buy in price of the game. So if a game has 4 prices of e.g. L$100, L$200,L$300 and L$400, the pot will never be lower than L$101, but often of course much higher.
When someone wins the pot, the next pot will be set at half the pot that was just won (but at least the minimum).
Hint: Even when a game is clearly lost you do yourself a pleasure by trying to at least complete the gold pattern.That will give a nice increase to the pot, which you might win next game.
Free game
You can win a free game collecting all rewards on the right reward bar, in the order top to bottom.
After winning the free game, the current game you are playing will continue until it is finished. The free game will start immediately after the current game.

After winning the free game, the current game you are playing will continue until it is finished. The free game will start immediately after the current game.
It is possible to win the game itself, the pot and the free game all with a single game. Of course this is harsh and one needs quite some luck. Often it is best to focus on one of the three, or the combination of winning the game and either the free game or the pot.
Here you see all the different rewards the game has.
Percentages (and double) add a percentage over the score as it is at the moment you collect these rewards. As a consequence, these rewards get more valuable near the end of the game.
The All wilds reward changes the spinner in 4 blue wilds. You can make a match in each column. Handy, but collect it after playing all other matches you have on the spinner, as otherwise you will loose these!

Things that are nice to know..
- The spinner is generated at random.
Every possible symbol on every column is generated with the same chance, except the 2 rules mentioned here below. - Each symbol on the spinner will contain a different value than it did previous round.
You won’t get the same value twice in a row on the same spot of the spinner. - Each wild will most likely appear several times during a game but each of the 3 wilds is guaranteed to appear at least once during a game.
Freeplay games
Thus instead of 5% of L$0, the freeplay games add 5% of L$1 to the pot and if you win a free game, you won’t get a free game as you already have them as much as you want on freeplay but you will win L$1 instead.
