Royal Nutcracker Base GameplayCoin and Collect Symbols
Royal Nutcracker features Coin symbols on reels 1 and 3, carrying cash values of 1x–6x or 8x the bet. Collect symbols appear exclusively on the middle reel.
When Coins and at least one Collect symbol land together, their values are collected and awarded. This combination also triggers the Hold and Win Bonus game.
The game includes a Wild symbol that substitutes for regular paying symbols and can award wins independently, but does not replace Coins or Collect symbols.
Royal Nutcracker Collect SymbolsHold and Win Bonus with Booster Cells
The Hold and Win Bonus begins with three respins, which reset whenever a new Coin lands. Only Coins and Collect symbols appear during the feature, with up to four sticky Collect symbols occupying the middle reel.
Every position on reels 1 and 3 acts as a Booster Cell. When a Coin lands, its value is stored in that cell. Collect symbols gather the Coin values and remove the Coins, leaving their accumulated values behind.
If another Coin lands in the same position, the stored amount is added to its value, increasing the reward available for collection. This mechanic also applies to Jackpot Coins.
Four Fixed Jackpots
The Bonus game includes four Jackpot Coins with fixed prizes:
| Jackpot | Prize |
|---|---|
| Mini | 15x |
| Minor | 30x |
| Major | 100x |
| Grand | 1,000x |
Jackpot Coins also interact with Booster Cells, allowing their values to contribute to the bonus's accumulating rewards.
Chance Mode and Buy Bonus
Players can activate Chance mode for 2x the regular bet to increase the probability of triggering the Bonus game.
Alternatively, two Buy Bonus options provide immediate access to Hold and Win:
Regular Bonus — 70x bet: starts with at least one Collect symbol.
Super Bonus — 200x bet: guarantees at least three Collect symbols.
Chance mode and Buy Bonus cannot be activated simultaneously.
