Empire of the Sun Stones Slot by Genii

Two bonus tracks live on the same reels, and each one shuts the other out. The Free Spins scatter (a jaguar warrior with a banner reading FREE SPINS) only lands on reels 1, 3 and 5, and three of them award 8 spins flat. No retrigger, no extra spins, no multipliers stacking up. The Feature scatter is a different symbol entirely, lands on any reel, and three or more drop you into the Hold-and-Spin round where the jackpot tiers actually live. Crucially, the Feature can't trigger while Free Spins are running, so the 8-spin bonus is genuinely a sealed mode with its own short payout horizon.

Hold-and-Spin starts with a 3-spin counter. Every Feature symbol that arrives sticks in place and reveals either a coin prize or one of the four jackpot tiers shown along the top of the reels: Mini, Minor, Major, Mega. Extra Spins symbols reset the counter back to 3 each time they appear, which is the only way the round extends. The Mega caps at 1,000x your stake, Major at 200x, Minor at 50x, Mini at 25x. Those dollar values you see at the top (500, 100, 25, 12.50) are tied to the default 0.50 bet, which is unusually low for a Saucify-engined release and means the headline prizes scale up cleanly when you raise the stake.

The base game itself is straight 25-line stuff with stone-tile royals (cracked K, Q, J, A carved into the rock), a few low-paying serpent reliefs, and a feathered jaguar warrior portrait as the Wild that subs for everything except scatters. Behind the reels is a temple wall flanked by two vertical totem statues of jaguar warriors, vine-wrapped stone borders, and a pale jungle backdrop with palm silhouettes that shifts with the time-of-day lighting. It's a clean Aztec presentation, more carved-stone museum than action-adventure, with a colour palette built around moss green, terracotta and aged sandstone.

Eight paying symbols, a top line pay of 500 coins for five-of-a-kind, no buy bonus button anywhere. The math leans on the Hold-and-Spin jackpot ceiling rather than a juiced free spins round, which is an unusual split for a 5x3 line slot, most games of this shape funnel everything through one bonus mode and call it a day.
