At the end of random spins in the base game, a free respin feature can occur. These free respins are enhanced by either two stacked wild reels, three stacked wild reels, at least one win with the highest-paying milk symbol or at least two scatter symbols.
After each free respin there is a 50% chance for the game to respin again, with one of the same aforementioned enhancements on offer.
In the base game, when at least two scatters appear on the same spin, there is a chance for a random third scatter to appear in a random position after the spin has finished.
During the free spins feature, landing three, four or five scatters on the same turn will award 10, 15 or 20 additional spins via a retrigger. This retrigger will also increase a persistent multiplier that starts at x1 when the free spins begin initially by a value of one.

Ruby Robbery – Twin Win Studios
Swintt’s subsidiary slot studio Twin Win Studios presented a heist for precious gems in its latest slot release Ruby Robbery, a 5×4 reel game with 50-paylines and a maximum win worth x3,000 the player’s wager. The slot has an RTP worth 96.11%.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, stated: “Ruby Robbery marks the third release by Twin Win Games to be launched via the SwinttStudios programme – and what an exciting instalment it is too.
“Set in a high-security vault that’s littered with gold and jewels, players will need to put their safe-cracking skills to the test as they seek out Nudging Wilds that can lead to huge wins of up to x3,000 their bet, making it another must-have addition to operators’ line-ups.”
Scatter bank vault symbols can also appear on the reels, triggering the free spins feature when three or more land on the same turn.
Wild key symbols can drop into play to substitute for all symbols other than bank vault scatters.
Additionally,, wild diamonds can appear in stacks on the reel set. These diamonds will also substitute for all symbols other than bank vault scatters.
When wild diamonds appear in stacks that cover one of the first three rows on a reel, a nudging wilds feature will be activated. This causes the wilds to stay on the board for the next spins, nudging down one position per spin until they have been removed from the reels.
Furthermore, if four wild diamonds land on the third reel in the base game, a random cash prize between x1 and x50 the player’s wager will be awarded.
For the free spins feature, landing three, four or five scatters on the same spin will award x1, x2 or x3 win multipliers for the duration of the bonus game mode, respectively.
The number of free spins awarded can be unlimited as the feature continues as long as wild diamonds appear on the reel set, with the nudging wilds feature prolonging the free spins.

Meanwhile, a female character, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes and a villain depict the high value symbols, offering between x0.02 and x20 the player’s preferred bet.
