Grand National Race of Champions: Gameplay

In the gameplay, a wild symbol in blue is capable of replacing all other symbols with the exception of the horseshoe bonus. If a break appears in a run of similar symbols and the wild happens to be in the right position to plug up space, it becomes the missing piece and this is counted as a win. Standing alone, the wild does not offer any wins, even when it comes in a full line, it has no monetary worth.

In the same vein, the lucky horseshoe is also worthless when it stands alone but the game providers made it possible for the scatter symbol to activate the free spins when it appears on any visible position. When you land three lucky horseshoes, you will get an award of 8 bonus spins. A total of 16 free games emanate from four horseshoes while up to 30 bonus games come from five horseshoes.

To assist in making the games a bit more rewarding, all the appearing wild symbols will move their reels down, row by row with every free spin. In explanation, a wild have the chance of remaining on the screen for four successive spins if it happens to make its stop on the top rows. If you happen to have more wilds appearing, then your chances of completing more winnings will be tremendously enhanced before the end of the free games. Underneath every reel is a coin symbol which turns over with each free spin and when the five of them land in the same way, revealing the Extra Spins’ side, you will be rewarded with additional eight free games till the current round comes to an end.
