Notes de l'éditeur
“In-Game” unlockable bonuses and increased eligibility through the Power Meter incentivize the player for higher average bet.
PowerPicks on left, available at all wagers
Reel Select in middle, available at wagers of 150C or more
Stacked Wheels on right, available at wagers of 300C or more (wager up in online over 300C).
PowerPicks Bonus is most similar to a PowerBall lottery ticket. Player makes 10 selections on the left and then a final PowerPick on the right. PowerPicks is the ‘anticipation’ bonus.
Reel Select is the ‘survivability’ bonus. As players select spinning reels they try to spell POWERBUCKS. Players continue to collect credits and letters from each reel until a duplicate letter is received from any single reel, then the reel is no longer active and looks ‘fried’.
Stacked Wheels is the ‘lock puzzle’ bonus. Players are trying to get the lightning bolt on the further most left position on the Reel for an opportunity to spin the respective Wheel for that Reel. Lightning bolts will lock in the center position for a possible future wheel spin should the left lightning bolt land in the center position on any Reel spin.
