Each spin fills a 6x5 grid of 30 cells with symbols from an Anime and Fantasy theme. Because it is scatter-pays, the game has no fixed paylines. Symbols pay anywhere on the grid, and a win needs at least 8 matching symbols. After each win the tumble feature drops new symbols into the grid, so one spin can run several wins in a row.
Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid start Free Spins with 15 spins on special purple and starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 spins. In the base game, multiplier orbs can land during a winning tumble sequence and multiply its total. During Free Spins, the Total Multiplier grows with every orb hit and multiplies later wins.

Triggering the round
Here is how each mode starts, what it gives, and which rules change your wins.
Spins on the reels get more scatters once the optional Ante Bet toggle is on. The toggle raises the bet from 20 to 25 coins, a 1.25x cost. It doubles the natural chance to trigger Free Spins, and Buy Free Spins is disabled while the mode is active.
Base game reelsBigger trigger chance
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins with 15 spins on purple starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round retrigger and add 5 more spins. A Total Multiplier builds from multiplier orb hits across the round and multiplies later wins.

Symbols on the 6x5 grid pay wherever they land, because no fixed paylines apply. After each win the winning symbols vanish and new ones fall in, a tumble that can repeat. Multiplier orbs may land during a winning tumble sequence and multiply the total win of that sequence.

Ready to spin
Useful when a round feels unclear, or while you are still choosing your bet.
The 6x5 grid stays still until you set a bet from A$0.20 up to A$300, and every win afterward is measured against that stake.
Eight or more matching symbols pay anywhere on the 6x5 grid, with no fixed paylines. After each win, the winning symbols clear and new ones tumble down.
A winning tumble sequence can bring multiplier orbs onto the grid, and each orb hit multiplies the total win of that whole sequence.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid trigger Free Spins, and the round opens with 15 spins on purple starfield reels.
Every spin takes the bet you chose from your balance, so set your limit before the first spin.
Game views
PokerStars Casino lets you look at the reels of each game before you stake.
On the reels, the bonus buy triggers Free Spins for 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at A$10.

Spins on the reels return part of each stake. Return to player is counted per A$100 staked, as a long-run average, not a promise for one session. The game rules show which version runs here.

Test the reels first
It settles whether to practise with the demo or play for real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at PokerStars Casino and a minimum age of 18.
Play for realScatter symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid, and four or more of them open the Free Spins round. How often that happens is not known in advance, because each spin is random. The RTP tells you the return over a very large number of bets, not the outcome of one session, so a session can end above or below the stake whatever the RTP shows.
Each spin settles against one of two RTP versions, and the two differ only slightly in return. The figures table on this page shows what each version returns in money. Which version runs here is shown only in the game rules, so read that section before you choose a stake.
Tumbles, multiplier orbs and the Total Multiplier can lift a win, yet the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. It is a multiple of the bet, so a bigger stake raises the money value of that ceiling. No one can say in advance whether a session will come near it.

Know what to expect
By the end of these answers, you will have checked the facts that matter before you play.

Two RTP versions exist: 96.49 and 96.50. RTP is the long-run return per A$100 staked, so the table shows what each version returns in money. A higher RTP does not tell you what one session will return.
Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet. The purchase guarantees four scatters on the triggering spin. While the Ante Bet is on, Buy Free Spins is switched off.
The maximum win is x15,000 your bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$150,000, and at the highest bet of A$300 it is A$4,500,000. No player can know in advance whether a session will come near it.

Choose your stopping point before you start, and keep it even after a big win, because a win can tempt you to keep going.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, and review them whenever your budget changes.
If the game stops being fun, take a break. If you want to step away for longer, self-exclude through BetStop.
