Legacy of the Sages Bonus Buy Slot by Evoplay

Three buy bonus tiers - 44x for 8 spins, 66x for 12, 99x for 18 - are the only addition over the base version of this game. Everything else is identical: same 5x5 grid set inside a deep crimson pagoda, same purple twilight sky with misty waterfalls behind it, same Mystery Chain mechanic driving the payouts. If you already know the base game, you're here for the shortcut into free spins.

Yin-yang mystery symbols land exclusively on reels 2, 3, and 4. Five or more of them forming a connected path across adjacent reels triggers a conversion - the chain transforms into either wilds or money symbols, never a mix. Money symbols carry values between 1x and 18x total bet, and three jackpot coins sit in the pool: Mini at 88x, Mega at 188x, Super at 1,888x. Each one pays independently on top of any payline wins from that same spin. During free spins, the chain always converts to money symbols instead of wilds, which is what makes the bonus round hit harder than the base game - every chain activation becomes a direct payout with jackpot eligibility.

The high-pay symbols are golden creature masks - dragon, tiger, phoenix, monkey, rabbit - glowing warm against the dark red temple columns and paper lanterns. Card values from 10 through Ace fill the lower tier in deep maroon tones. A 4,095x cap applies to any single round, and hitting it during free spins ends the feature immediately with remaining spins forfeited. The buy-in prices scale linearly (roughly 5.5x per spin purchased), so the 18-spin option at 99x gives the longest runway but the same per-spin cost ratio as the cheaper entries.
