When respins start one or more collectable WILDS are sent to the screen to random reels, becoming expanding WILDS and the WALKING WILD respins will trigger until there are no more expanded WILDS on the screen. At every respin, more collectable WILD symbols can hit and they will be collected, then being added back to the screen to random reels at random respins or when there are no more expanded WILDS on the screen.

The multiplier increases over the course of the feature (every respin cycle observed in the captures shows it stepping up by 1: 2X to 3X to 4X to 5X to 6X to 7X, and reaching 10X by the time the feature concluded). Exact trigger condition for each step-up (e.g. per respin vs per expanding-wild-hit) is not stated in the captured rule pages and is therefore not asserted beyond the observed sequential increase.",

Frame 2: the same WILD has moved to reel 4, with reels mid-spin/motion-blurred (multiplier 3X). Frame 3: two expanding WILDs simultaneously present — reel toward the left showing the full mariachi artwork and a second on the right edge, with a fiery/glowing 'WILD' burst effect (multiplier 4X, WIN $44.00). Frame 4: expanding WILDs occupy reels 1 and 5 (the two outer edges) at once, illustrating that the walking WILD can be present on either side of the grid (multiplier 5X, WIN $51.60, 2 WILDs collected shown). Frame 5: reel 4 shows three green 'WILD' oval labels stacked vertically (a full reel of the regular WILD symbol, distinct from the expanding tombstone-WILD artwork) plus a partially-formed expanding WILD entering on reel 5; 3 WILDs collected, multiplier 6X, WIN $59.10. Frame 6: one expanding WILD on reel 1, a green streak effect showing a WILD symbol flying up to be collected at the top row (now 4 WILDs collected), multiplier 7X, WIN $87.90.",

Autoplay (with adjustable spin count and a SKIP SCREENS option) reduces the number of required clicks/interactions for repeated play.",
    "color_blind": "Most affordances are non-color-dependent: icon glyphs (hamburger, speaker, 'i', +/-, spin arrows), on/off toggles shown by knob position as well as color, checkboxes shown by checkmark glyph, and shape-differentiated green nav arrows (left/right triangles) vs the center X. Card symbols (heart/diamond/clover/spade) rely partly on their distinct suit SHAPE in addition to color, which is a safe redundant cue. Residual risk: the 5-lightning-bolt volatility badge did not show a clearly distinguishable filled-vs-unfilled count in the captured frames — the game's own text label ('High') should be used as the authoritative, non-ambiguous cue instead of the icon count.",

    "The individual zig-zag symbol patterns of the 20 numbered payline diagrams on paytable page 4/7 — the icons are too small in the capture to trace; only the total count (20 fixed lines) and their presence are confirmed.",
    "Whether the SCATTER symbol carries its own coin payout for 3/4/5-of-a-kind combinations beyond triggering the feature — no such payout row was visible on paytable page 1/7 or elsewhere in the captured pages; treated as trigger-only pending contrary evidence.",
    "Precise fill state (filled vs. unfilled) of the 5-lightning-bolt volatility icon on the preview screen and paytable page 4/7 — all 5 bolts appeared as the same solid gold color in both zoomed crops, so a specific 'N/5' reading could not be confirmed; the textual label 'High' is used instead as the reliable source.",
