are all features that can be triggered during gameplay.

During the game, players can activate Free Spins, Expanding Reels, and Wilds as special features.

The game takes players to a rugged area of the globe, set in a quaint village created by NetEnt and featuring design elements reminiscent of a beautiful oil painting.

To initiate the free spins feature, you will transition to a nighttime setting where you will find a neat and orderly gathering place for outlaws to relax after a week of stealing from stagecoaches and herding cattle.

The main elements of the game are the free spins round, wild symbols, expanding wild symbols, reels, bonus bet, and feature buys.

The Wilds act as substitutes for regular symbols, aiding in the creation of winning combinations. They remain on the reels and move down one spot with each spin until they disappear at the bottom.

When wild symbols appear on top of a trigger symbol, they start a symbol shootout, turning the surrounding symbols into wilds in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction. These wilds are then taken out for the next spin.

During a spin, the reels have the potential to randomly expand to a height of eight rows. This will cause any wilds on the top four rows to be duplicated. Once the spin is complete, the reels will return to their original height.

Players who land three to five scatter symbols will receive six, 10, or 15 free spins. The grid will stay in its full eight-row layout for the entire round during the free spins.

On the first spin, there will be one to three wild symbols visible and a new wild symbol will appear on each subsequent spin. If a player hits a scatter symbol, they will earn an extra free spin.

When the Bonus Bet is activated, players will notice that their bet amount doubles and they will receive guaranteed wilds during the base game. This also increases their chances of expanding reels and getting free spins.

Additional free spins can be triggered by scatters appearing on the grid. In order to obtain the standard free spins, players must pay 100 times their bet. Alternatively, they can purchase free spins through the Bonus Bet for 125 times their bet.

In November of last year, NetEnt introduced Finn and the Candy Spin, which includes unpredictable features.
