Catch the Wind Bonus Buy Slot by Evoplay

The Captain's Ship acts as both wild and scatter. In the base game, each ship carries a random multiplier between x1 and x3 that applies to any winning combination sharing its payline. When multiple ships sit on the same line, their multipliers add together rather than multiply - two x3 ships give x6, not x9.

Three or more ships trigger free spins (8, 10, or 12 depending on count). During the bonus, every new ship lands with a x1 multiplier and starts walking left one reel per spin. Each step increases the multiplier by 1, so a ship that lands on reel 5 reaches x5 by the time it exits reel 1. After leaving the grid, it drops into a collection meter at the top. Fill the meter with 7 ships to unlock additional free spins.

The collection resets after each completion, and ships still on the reels when you hit 7 carry over into the next collection cycle. Three collection completions is the limit - after that, ships still appear and still walk with growing multipliers, but the meter stays closed. The real damage comes from multiple high-multiplier ships stacking on the same payline late in a run.

Three bonus purchase tiers are available: 50x for 8 spins, 72x for 10, and 98x for 12. The higher tiers start with more ships on the reels, giving the collection mechanic a head start.
