How It Pays – Expanding Wilds and the Colossus Rising Flame
this slot pays between 3.5x and 20x your stake for 5-of-a-kind premium symbols. The real engine is the expanding multiplier wild, which lands on reels 2-5 only. When a wild hits, it expands to fill the entire reel and receives a random multiplier – x2, x3, x5, or x10 – assigned by the Colossus Rising Flame, a flame meter on the right side of the screen that activates at random times before the Hold & Win feature, when new coins land, or when the bonus ends.
The base game is sparse. No other special symbols, no free-spin triggers from the reels themselves. Wilds with multipliers are the only friction-breaker in regular play – and they land often enough (37.2% hit frequency) to keep the grid from feeling completely dead, but not often enough to mask the lean mechanics underneath.
Hold / Win Bonus – Sticky Coins and Respins
Land 6 or more gold coin symbols anywhere to trigger the Hold & Win feature. The triggering coins become sticky on a cleared grid. Only new coins or blank spaces land during respins; all new coins that land also become sticky, and the respin counter resets to 3 each time a coin lands.
The Colossus Rising Flame applies a multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10 to all cash coins present whenever the flame activates during the bonus – whether when a new coin lands or when the feature ends. Fill the entire grid with coins and you unlock one of three jackpots, with the Colossus Jackpot worth up to 10,000x your stake. That multiplier can stack on top of individual coin values, so a high multiplier on a full grid is where the real payoff lives.

The 96% RTP is the default setting; some operators may offer alternative tiers. High volatility means long dry stretches between wins, but when the Hold & Win bonus fires and the Colossus Jackpot aligns, the payout can be severe.
Pros
- Expanding wilds up to x10 multiplier add texture to base game.
- Hold & Win mechanic is clean – sticky coins and respins are easy to follow.
- 10,000x max win and high volatility appeal to players hunting big payouts.
- 37.2% hit frequency keeps the grid ticking over, even if wins are small.
- Colossus Rising Flame adds a random element that can surprise on both base and bonus.
Cons
- Base game is thin – wilds are the only special symbol, and they can’t trigger the bonus on their own.
- No free spins from the reels; all bonus access flows through the Hold & Win feature only.
- Long stretches without a coin trigger can feel punishing on a 96% RTP and high volatility.
- Multiplier assignment is random, so even a full grid doesn’t guarantee a top-tier payout.
