Bonus Bells Slot by Fazi

The gold bell that runs this game only shows up on the middle three reels, and when it lands it swallows the entire reel and turns every cell wild. On a board with just ten fixed lines threading through the center, one fully wild reel clips most of them at once, so a single bell often pays across several lines in one drop. It stands in for everything except the golden BONUS bells, and it tops the table at 600x for five. Worth keeping straight: this bell wild can never reach reels one or five during normal play. That only happens in the free games.

The reels are stocked with old fruit-machine staples, glowing against a wall of orange-yellow flame with golden bells on red ribbons strung across the top. A faceted red 7 is the best paying of the regular symbols at 400x, then the gold BAR plate, blue grapes, sliced watermelon, oranges, plums, lemons and twin cherries down at the bottom. The golden double-bells BONUS is the other heavyweight. It pays from anywhere on screen, not just on a line, returning 500x for five, and three or more of them open the feature.

That feature is short and pointed: six free games, played with a stacked WILD dropped onto the first and fifth reels. Stack that with the bell wild's usual home on reels two through four and you can light up all five reels at once, which is the only route to the 12,500x ceiling. If you don't want to grind for three BONUS symbols, the Buy Bonus button on the right of the reels takes you straight in.

Three mystery progressives, Gold, Diamond and Platinum, tick away across the top and drop at a random hidden point, with bigger bets shortening the odds. And any win can be sent to the red-or-black gamble, doubling until you miss or hit the 50,000 limit.
