Budai Reels Bonus Buy Slot by Evoplay

Deep red walls and gold trim set the stage, with cherry blossom branches flanking the reels. The laughing Budai figure serves as Wild, and his golden likeness is the highest-paying regular symbol at 200x bet for five across. Gold ingots and coins fill the mid-tier positions, while colorful card royals sit at the bottom of the paytable.

Three or more Scatters anywhere on the grid launch Budai Respins. The triggering Scatters lock in place, and each subsequent respin drops only Scatters, +1 Spin symbols, or blanks. New Scatters stick for the duration. A +1 Spin symbol adds one extra respin but does not hold itself - it just extends the round. The feature ends when respins hit zero or all 15 grid positions fill with Scatters.

Payouts follow a fixed progressive ladder tied to total Scatter count at the end of the round: 3 Scatters pay 1x, climbing through 20x at 7, 100x at 9, 350x at 12, and topping out at 5,000x if all 15 positions fill. Only the single highest tier pays. The Bonus Buy costs 37x total bet and forces three Scatters onto the reels to guarantee entry. That progressive structure, with no multipliers or coin values involved, keeps the math straightforward compared to Hold and Win variants that assign random values to each symbol.
