3+ meteors prompt a set of preset or randomized free spins, on a star-studded purple background, whose four meteor-embedded options are: 20 wins-doubling free spins (green meteor option); 15 wins-tripling free spins (purple meteor option); 10 free spins, with X5 wins multipliers (orange meteor option); or, randomized “?” free spins, with wins-doubling/tripling or X5 wins-multiplying 10, 15, or 20 free spins.

In the aforementioned red-orange free mode (note: 3+ re-appearing meteors offer +10 free spins), the middle reels may draw scattered wads of bills: every wad shows credits resulting from randomized betX1, betX2, betX3, betX5, betX10, betX25, or betX50 multipliers.

A regular spin may draw a “X2” radar, therefore activating three Money Bags free spins: the ensuing six to nine scattered moneybags stick throughout the three rounds that reset whenever 1+ moneybags are drawn.

The moneybags’ credits are calculated from randomized betX1, betX2, betX3, betX5, betX10, betX25, betX50, betX100, or betX250 multipliers. Alternatively, there may be “minor/major bonus” moneybags, offering a $500.00 minor or $2000.00 major jackpots.

The original six to nine moneybags may accumulate—after routinely re-drawing more bags—to 15 bags, where the bag-filled grid activates the $100000.00 grand jackpot.
