Tree of Light Bonus Buy Slot by Evoplay

Ten paylines running in both directions - left-to-right and right-to-left simultaneously. Every five-of-a-kind combination registers twice, once from each side, which doubles the payout on full lines. It's a quiet mechanic that doesn't get announced anywhere, but it reshapes the math on every spin, base game and free spins alike.

The 42x buy gets you past the Scroll trigger and straight into 7 Free Spins. Without it, you're waiting for a single Scroll to appear outside the reel zone - not on the grid itself, but in a separate position beside it. Buying removes that wait entirely. Once inside, the three Magic Patterns work the same as the base Tree of Light version: complete Pattern 1 for synced middle reels and 5 extra spins, Pattern 2 for random wilds and 3 more spins, Pattern 3 for expanding wilds and the Bonus Game. The difference is framing - at 42x entry, you're paying a premium to skip directly to the progression system rather than grinding base game spins for a trigger that sits outside the normal reel area.

Both-ways pay matters most during the later Pattern stages. When synced reels lock columns 2, 3, and 4 to identical symbols, and random wilds or expanding wilds fill adjacent positions, a five-symbol line pays from both ends. Two payouts per line, times the wild density that Pattern 2 and 3 produce, times whatever x2-x4 multiplier the Bonus Game fruit pick adds at the end. The 1,861x cap requires all of that to align.

This sits between the original Tree of Light (no buy option, same mechanics but you wait for the Scroll) and Tree of Light: Fabled Fruits, which swapped the Pattern system for a Hold and Win bonus at a higher 85x buy-in. Same enchanted forest, same fox adventurer, different route to the big number.
