Triggering the Battle Bonus lets you keep spinning as long as your character has health or until you have defeated all three monsters. After each free spin, battle reels spin for the character and current monster. Battle reel symbols do damage, protect against damage, or stun. See the paytable for details. Defeat three monsters to earn 1, 2, 5, or 10 Victory Spins. The number of Victory Spins depends on the character, the realm, and the number of spins it took to defeat the third monster.

During the Boar battle, there is a Roaming 2x Wild symbol on each spin that appears on any of the first four reels.

Rules Misuse or malfunction voids all pays and plays. All line win symbols must appear on a played line and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far left reel. Only the highest winner is paid on each payline. Line wins are multiplied by the line bet on the winning line. Coinciding line wins on different paylines are added. Only the highest scatter win is paid per scatter symbol. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet. Scatter wins are independent from line wins and are added to the total amount paid. Wins are shown in currency. In some jurisdictions, regardless of bet size, there is an award cap on any single transaction. See the paytable for details. A transaction includes the results of the Battle Bonus plus the outcome which launched the bonus. If the award cap is reached in the bonus, the bonus ends immediately, even if there are remaining free spins or the character still has health. Changing devices during a bonus may affect your saved XP. This rare case may arise if you begin a bonus on a mobile or desktop device, then play for an extended time on a different device. If you return to the first device and try to finish the bonus, your total XP may revert to the original XP you had when the bonus first began. Additional Information Expected Payback In accordance with fair gaming practices required in most legal jurisdictions worldwide, each and every game outcome is completely independent. The odds of getting any particular outcome are always the same. The odds do not vary based on prior outcomes, bet size, balance size, time of day, day of week, etc. For example, if the top award is won on a given play of the game, the chances of winning the top award on the next play are exactly the same. Likewise, prior losses do not change future odds. The expected payback reflects the theoretical return across a very large number of spins by numerous players over an extended period of time. For this game type, the long-term theoretically expected payback is from 93.0% to 96.3% depending on the total number of Level Up Plus levels unlocked.
Level Long-Term Theoretically Expected Payback 1 93.02% 2 93.89% 3 93.89% 4 94.85% 5 94.85% 6 95.42% 7 95.42% 8 96.34% The results for any given player over a play session can vary widely from this longterm, expected average in either direction. The fewer the number of games played, the wider the normal variance of actual payback that may be experienced.
