Legendary Monkey King Slot by PG Soft

1,024 ways in the base state. But that number isn't fixed. A dedicated Expanding Reel symbol lands on individual reels and adds one extra row to whichever reel it appears on, stretching it from 4 symbols tall to 5, 6, or 7. Every extra row multiplies the way count for that reel, so if all five reels expand to maximum height the grid hits 16,807 ways - over sixteen times the starting number. The Expanding Reel symbol itself doesn't pay and doesn't substitute for anything. It just reshapes the grid, then disappears. Wilds handle substitution separately, covering everything except scatters and the Expanding Reel icon.

Collapsing reels clear winning symbols after each payout and drop new ones in from above, which matters more here than in most tumble games because the expanded rows persist through a cascade chain. If reel 3 grew to 6 rows on the initial drop, it stays at 6 rows for every subsequent cascade within that spin. New symbols falling into those extra positions keep feeding the inflated way count until the chain dies. The grid only resets to its 4-row base on the next fresh spin.

Three scatters award 8 free spins, with 2 more for each extra scatter beyond the third. Retriggering is possible. The free spins run a global win multiplier starting at x1 that climbs by 1 after every cascade round that contains at least one win. So the first winning cascade pays at x1, the next at x2, x3, and so on - but only winning cascades increment it. A dead drop where nothing connects doesn't advance the counter. The multiplier resets at the start of each individual free spin, not across the entire bonus, so long cascade chains within a single spin are what push it high. Pair that with a fully expanded grid where 16,807 ways are feeding the cascade engine, and the math behind the 50,000x advertised cap starts to make sense - even if simulated testing across a billion spins topped out closer to 6,000x.
