Expansion! Slot

The real action: Bonus features that shine brighter than a supernova

This is where Expansion! really turns up the heat. The base game is fun on its own, but let's face it - it's the bonus features that really make this thing pop. Betsoft hasn't held back here. They have thrown in a handful of clever, interactive mechanics that will keep you on your toes and honestly make every spin feel like something big could happen. Let's break down what makes these features tick:

Directional Wilds - The main attraction

If there's one feature to get excited about, it's Directional Wilds. These things aren't just regular ordinary Wilds. They're basically UFOs with laser beams, and they are quite serious.

Here's how they work:

• When a Directional Wild symbol lands on the reels, everything stops - you'll see this funky looking ray gun thing appear right on top of the Wild.
• It starts spinning, like a space compass, and then randomly chooses one of the 8 possible directions (up, down, diagonal - you get the idea).
• Once it has chosen a direction, it shoots. A laser beam shoots across the reels, turning every single symbol it touches into a Wild.
• And as a bonus? The original Directional Wild that triggered the whole thing also turns into a regular Wild at the end of the effect.

It's such a cool moment when it happens. You get that thrill as you wait to see where the beam goes, and sometimes it goes exactly where you want it to - right through the heart of the high-paying symbols. Other times... well, space is unpredictable.

The best part? You can land more than one Directional Wild on the same spin. Yep - multiple lasers shooting off in different directions, crisscrossing the reels and stacking up Wilds. That's when things really start to get explosive.

Free Spins - with a multiplier twist

You knew it was coming - the Free Spins feature. But Expansion! adds its own little twist to keep things exciting.

Here's how it's triggered:

• Get 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in a spin. The more you get, the more spins you unlock - up to 15 Free Spins if you hit the max.

But here's the fun part:

• Each Free Spin has a random multiplier that changes with each spin. The multiplier ranges from 2x to 10x and applies to everything you win on that spin.

So imagine this: You've got a Directional Wild that turns part of the board Wild, a decent line hit, and then - bam - a 10x multiplier lands. That's how the big wins start to pile up. It's not just about triggering Free Spins, it's about getting the right combination of features and timing.

The Free Spins rounds are also fast and exciting. They don't drag, and with the multiplier changing every spin, you never feel like you're just going through the motions. Every spin keeps you guessing.

Stacked Mystery Symbols - The Silent MVP

Okay, so this one doesn't get as much attention, but behind the scenes it's pulling its weight.

Every spin in Expansion! starts with a little mystery: some of the reel positions are marked as Stacked Mystery Symbols. You can't tell what they are at first - they just show up as question marks or some sort of placeholder symbol.

Then, when the spin starts, all these Mystery Symbols turn into the same matching symbol for that spin. It could be anything - one of the high paying symbols or a low one.

Why is this great? Because it gives you a much better chance of getting long combos across the reels. When you get a bunch of symbols in the centre of the grid that all turn into stars or planets - that's when the big paylines come alive.

And with new mystery symbols appearing on every spin, there's always that extra layer of anticipation before the reels start spinning.

Buy Feature - Skip the line for Free Spins

Let's face it, sometimes you don't want to sit and wait for the Free Spins to start. That's where the Buy Feature comes in.

If you're feeling a little impatient - or maybe just in the mood for a roll of the dice - you can pay a set price to buy your way into Free Spins mode immediately. It's not cheap (it never is), but it's a guaranteed shot at the bonus round, and for many players it's worth it for the action alone.

And yes, you get all the same goodies: 15 free spins max, the multiplier mechanic and all the usual features within the round. It's just a shortcut for when you want to get straight to the point.

Pro tip? Only use the Buy feature if you've got the balance to do it - don't go all-in unless you're ready to go crazy.

Wrapping up the features

So yes, Expansion! doesn't mess around when it comes to features. You've got:

• Laser-blasting Wilds that feel like a little event every time they land,
• Free Spins with ever-changing multipliers to keep things dynamic,
• Mystery Symbols that offer extra potential on every spin,
• And a Buy Feature for when you're feeling bold.

It all adds up to a slot experience that's fun, unpredictable and frankly quite addictive. Every time you spin, there's that little thrill of something cool happening. That's what makes a great slot experience.

If you're the type of player who loves interactive features, not just passive spinning, then this game is made for you.
