This new game on the immersive Beacon+ and Beacon+ Lighthouse cabinets features a unique hold-and-spin bonus that incorporates a spinning wheel for extra awards.

The base game is a five-reel, 50-line video slot. Above the reels are animated green, blue and red locomotives that serve as the filler pots. During the primary game, nuggets landing on the reels fly up to the trains, which appear to move closer to the player as they fill, until one, two or three of the trains runs off the rails to trigger an enhanced hold-and-spin round.

Also during the primary game, “Mystery Doors” will randomly appear over large areas of the reel set—up to the entire screen—and open to reveal the same symbol in every reel position covered (all except the wild symbols).

In addition to the three pots, the main bonus can be triggered by collecting 13 nuggets, displayed on a meter above the reels. Filling the meter triggers the “Triple Bonus Feature,” with the hold-and-spin round benefiting from all three enhancements. Also, landing a “Super Nugget” sends multiple nuggets to all three trains, which also can trigger the main feature.

When the hold-and-spin is triggered, a bonus wheel appears over the reels, with slices displaying the pots that triggered the spin. It is a normal three-spin cycle, with cash-on-reels coins and any of the three lower-level jackpots locking in place and returning the spin meter to three. When the wheel lands on one of the pot bonuses, it triggers animation of a train crossing above the reels, dumping nuggets onto the screen. “Extra Cash” sends nuggets that become new cash-on-reels coins. “Cash Boost” sends nuggets down to increase individual cash-on-reels awards. “Instant Win” sends nuggets down to instantly award several locked cash-on-reels awards.

Filling the screen triggers the Grand progressive, resetting at $10,000.
