Harness the power of expanding Wild Spirits with multipliers up to 100x
The translucent blue Spirit symbols serve as wilds and expand upward when part of a winning combination. Each Spirit carries a random multiplier from 2x to 100x, with values combining additively when multiple Spirits contribute to the same win. Only one Spirit can appear per reel, creating strategic vertical expansion patterns.
The golden Zephyr Crest activates when landing alongside at least one Wild Spirit. This special symbol triggers a unique chain reaction: all Spirits on the grid expand fully, nudge one reel to the left, receive new multipliers, and award a respin. The Zephyr Crest never appears above Spirit symbols, ensuring maximum activation potential.
Aiko's adventure features three distinct free spin bonuses. Spirited Spins (3 scatters) delivers 10 spins with enhanced Spirit and Zephyr Crest frequency. Whispering Winds (4 scatters) adds Memory multipliers that store and accumulate per reel. The hidden Midnight Magic (5 scatters) guarantees two Wild Spirits every spin with Memory mechanics active.
Aiko and the Wind Spirit revolutionizes the expanding wild concept through its unique upward-only expansion mechanic. Unlike traditional expanding wilds that fill entire reels automatically, the Spirit symbols expand conditionally when forming part of a win, creating dynamic vertical win patterns across the 5x4 grid. The multiplier range from 2x to 100x per Spirit, combined with additive stacking, enables explosive win potential reaching the 10,000x maximum payout.
The Zephyr Crest introduces a sophisticated secondary mechanic that transforms the entire grid state. When this golden compass symbol lands with at least one Spirit present, it triggers a cascade of effects: full expansion of all Spirits, leftward nudging creating new alignment opportunities, fresh multiplier assignments, and a valuable respin. This mechanic essentially provides a second chance at massive wins while repositioning symbols strategically.
The bonus buy menu reveals four distinct volatility options. BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 3x bet cost increases bonus trigger frequency by 5x, ideal for players seeking frequent feature access. Aiko FeatureSpins at 50x bet guarantees wins and minimum two Spirits per spin, removing the randomness element. Direct bonus purchases range from 100x for Spirited Spins to 200x for Whispering Winds, each maintaining approximately 96.25-96.33% RTP.
Whispering Winds bonus introduces the Memory multiplier system, where each reel stores its highest achieved multiplier value throughout the 10 free spins. When Spirits land on reels with stored values, they inherit these multipliers before adding their own, creating cumulative multiplication effects. The combination of stored values and new Spirit multipliers can generate extraordinary hits, especially when multiple high-value Memories align.
The hidden Midnight Magic bonus, triggered by the rare 5-scatter combination, represents the pinnacle feature. Guaranteeing two Wild Spirits per spin alongside the Memory system creates consistent high-value opportunities across all 10 spins. The guaranteed Spirit placement ensures Memory values constantly accumulate while maintaining win frequency.
Payline structure utilizes 14 fixed lines covering standard horizontals, diagonals, V-shapes, zigzags, and wave patterns. This modest line count focuses action on quality over quantity, with the Spirit multipliers compensating for fewer simultaneous wins. The deliberate restriction of one Spirit per reel prevents overwhelming multiplication while maintaining balanced mathematics at 96.29% base RTP.
