Silverback Gold Features
The mighty selection of special features in Silverback Gold includes the silverback attacks, multiplier wilds, wild symbols, free spins, bonus game, symbol upgrades, and the buy feature.
Silverback Gold- Wilds and Multiplier Wilds
The wilds can show up on the second, third and fourth reel during the base game and the free spins bonus. If a wild symbol appears during the free spins, it randomly transforms into a 2x up to 3x multiplier wild. All wins completed by the multiplier then benefit from its value and should more than one wild multiplier be part of the win, it is multiplied by the total value of the wild multipliers.
Silverback Gold- Silverback Attack Feature
This silverback attack feature activates randomly during the base game and in free spins. Should the free spins and bonus game be activated via the buy feature, the attack feature activation depends on randomness. Once the silverback attack feature activates, 6 up to 20 silverbacks are placed randomly across the reels when the spin starts.
During the free spin bonus, the silverback symbols might appear with tokens and are upgraded to golden silverbacks once the attack feature activates. This causes 6 up to 20 of the golden silverbacks to appear on the reels in randomly selected positions.
Silverback Gold- Bonus Game
During the base game the appearance of three or more scatters triggers the free spins and bonus game, of which the bonus is played first. The bonus game starts with three free spins, the scatter positions transform into tokens with random values ranging from 1 up to 25.
During the bonus round, all positions spin individually while positions displaying coins are locked and not part of the spin. The only symbols participating in the bonus game are the tokens and when it lands it flips and reveals a value at random up to 25, while the number of spins reset to three. The bonus ends when no more spins are left or the total of the tokens reaches 300 or higher. The total value of the tokens is saved before the free spins begin.
Silverback Gold- Free Spins
The number of three spins depends on the number of scatters present in the main game when the bonus round activates; three, four or five scatters unlock 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The number of spins changes if scatters show up during the free spins bonus, two, three, four or five activates, 3, 10, 15 or 20 extra free spins.
The free spins round starts with up to a maximum of 300 tokens saved from the bonus game held in the collect meter. During the free spins, tokens can appear randomly on the silverbacks with values up to 25. These get added to the collect meter at the end of the spin and when the required collect meter points are reached symbol upgrades take place.
Symbol upgrades take place once the collect meter shows the corresponding number of points needed. The crocodile upgrades via 30 points, the tiger via 60 points, the snake needs 120 points to upgrade and the bird requires 200 points. All silverbacks are upgraded to golden silverbacks once the meter reaches the maximum of 300 points. All upgrades remain until the end of the free spins bonus when the counter reaches zero.
Silverback Gold- Buy Feature
The buy feature makes it possible to activate free spins instantly at a cost equal to 100 times your wager. The number of free spins is guaranteed to 10 although the number of scatters during the free spin bonus could range from two up to five trigger 3 up to 20 extra free spins.
