The three modes

Each bonus handles wilds and multipliers differently, so their swings differ. Hacksaw prices them separately in the buy menu.

Duels and the cap

VS symbols trigger duels that turn reels wild with a multiplier. Large results are possible but rare. The game stops at its max-win cap, so even the best round has a ceiling.
