How It Plays
The 5x3 base grid uses 10 paylines, with Wild and Scatter symbols connecting ordinary spins to the two feature routes. Stakes run from 0.2 to 20.
The base loop changes when train symbols enter Lock It Link. Those symbols can upgrade frames through 4 tiers while respins preserve the feature state.
Theme & Atmosphere
Wild West imagery centers on a steam train crossing frontier country, which gives the Lock It Link mechanic a direct visual subject rather than a generic coin board.
The railway treatment also clarifies the split between ordinary line spins and the bonus chase, where trains, locked positions, and jackpots take priority.
Features & Win Potential
Lock It Link uses Respins, Bonus symbols, and Fixed Jackpots as one branch of the game. Train symbols can improve their frames through 4 prize tiers.
The other branch uses Free Spins, Sticky Wilds, and Wild Multipliers. A landed Wild remains in place and can receive a newly selected value on subsequent spins.
Bonus & Free Spins
Landing 3 Scatter symbols awards 6 Free Spins. Every Wild that appears becomes sticky for the rest of the round and may show a multiplier up to 5x.
Lock It Link supplies the separate Bonus Game. Respins hold the relevant train positions while upgraded frames and Fixed Jackpots determine the available prizes.
