Collapsed Castle Slot by Evoplay

Every cascade sequence in the base game starts at 1x. That reset after each spin is the single biggest difference between this version and the Bonus Buy variant, and it shapes how you read every chain. A Magician symbol landing mid-cascade reveals +2, +5, +10, or +25, dumping that value into the purple orb sitting left of the grid. Whatever total the orb holds applies to every subsequent win in the same cascade. But once the chain breaks and a new spin starts, the orb drops back to 1x. So the multiplier only matters if you keep winning after the Magician appears - a +25 reveal on the last win of a dying chain does nothing for you next spin.

The shaped grid complicates scatter math in a specific way. Scatters only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 - the three short reels running just three rows each. That's 9 total positions across those reels, compared to 12 if they ran four rows like the inner reels. Needing all three scatters on the shortest columns means free spins trigger less often than the 27% hit frequency might suggest. Most of that hit rate comes from the tumble chains themselves, not bonus entries.

Inside free spins, the orb keeps its value across all ten spins. A +10 Magician in spin 2 that builds the multiplier to 12x is still 12x in spin 8. That persistence turns a modest cascade into real money if the orb has been climbing for five or six spins already. And since there's no retrigger and no buy option, the ten spins are all you get - arrived at through scatter patience on those three-row outer reels.

Without the buy button, sessions run longer between bonus entries. Base game chains with early Magician reveals carry more weight here than in the purchasable version - a +25 landing first in a five-step cascade, pushing the orb to 26x for the remaining four wins, produces something meaningful even outside free spins. Then it resets clean. The 3,105x ceiling sits behind the non-resetting free spins multiplier, but the base game reset keeps individual spins grounded.
