Piñata system (base game)
Each coin collected in the base game contributes to one of three piñata meters:
| Piñata | Coin Color | Effect in Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Grow | Blue | Expands the grid to 5×4 and then 5×5 |
| Multi | Pink | Applies multipliers to locked coins |
| Extra | Green | Extra respins (4 instead of 3 for that cycle) |
When a meter fills, the corresponding feature activates for the next Hold & Win bonus.
Hold & Win Bonus
The Hold & Win feature begins after the piñatas burst. The grid starts at 5×3 and can expand to 5×5 if the Grow feature is triggered. Only coin symbols appear, each of which locks in place and resets the respin counter.
| Feature | Effect |
|---|---|
| Grow Reels (Blue) | Expands grid up to 5×5, increasing potential positions. |
| Multipliers (Pink) | Revalues or multiplies locked coins. |
| Extra Respin (Green) | Adds additional respins (4 instead of 3). |
| Jackpot coins | Mini 20×, Minor 50×, Major 150×, Grand 1000×. |
The bonus concludes when no respins remain or the grid is completely filled. All locked coin values and jackpot markers are paid at the end.
Fixed jackpots
Jackpots are awarded as fixed multipliers of the total bet:
| Jackpot | Value (× bet) |
|---|---|
| Mini | 20× |
| Minor | 50× |
| Major | 150× |
| Grand | 1000× |
