Dead Canary
Dead Canary
It turns out that life in the mines doesn’t have to be so miserable - unless you happen to be a canary.
After successfully finding the perfect brew recipe for the perfect beer, it’s now time to accompany our favourite angry dwarf on his quest for true love...
It goes without saying that such a journey will require tonnes of explosives, heaps of treasure as well as a handful of trusty old canaries to scope out those dusty mines.
REEL AREA
A 3-4-3-4-3-4 reel area starting as a 3-3-2-2-1-1 with three rows blocked by barriers.
One blocked row will open up after a win, an xBomb® explosion adjacent to the barrier, or a Wild Mining feature.
The multipliers in the bottom positions are awarded whenever the barrier is removed and the symbol is destroyed or if the removed barrier reveals a Scatter symbol.
WILD MINING
Wild Mining is triggered in the main game when 3,4 or 5 of the same kind of paying symbols align diagonally, when there is no winning combination.
The triggering symbols will be removed and create a Wild symbol in the middle positions of the alignment:
- 3 symbols award 1 Wild bomb.
- 4 symbols award 2 Wild bombs.
- 5 symbols award 3 Wild bombs.
Wild bomb explosions will increase the win multiplier by 1 for the next collapse.
All other symbols will explode, except xBomb® symbols. If a Scatter symbol gets blown away, it reappears in a random position in the next collapse.
SCATTERS
In the main game, the Scatter symbols can land on any reel, but if it lands behind the barrier it will not come in play until it is unblocked.
Scatter symbols will stick to their positions and remain there during Canary Freespins, unless any Scatter symbol lands in the vault position.
It will then be pushed to an available space towards the centre.
There are two types of Scatter symbols:
- Silver cage Scatter symbol.
- Gold Cage Scatter symbol.
Three Scatter symbols of any kind will trigger Canary Freespins.
xBOMB® WILD MULTIPLIER
An xBomb® Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except Scatter symbols.
An xBomb explodes symbols in a cross pattern next to it, except Scatter symbols and other xBombs and will increase the win multiplier by 1 for the next collapse.
All xBombs will explode before the next collapse.
xBET®
At a cost of an extra 40%, the player is guaranteed a Scatter symbol and the first barrier to be unlocked.
The payout for each symbol is not affected.
BONUS MODE: CANARY FREESPINS
Three Scatter symbols of any kind triggers Canary Freespins. The reel area becomes a 4-3-4-3-4-3-4 with the four vaults in the corners being locked.
The four vaults are locked in freespins but collect coins and multipliers from the three neighbouring positions. The vaults can be opened by xBomb explosions. When a vault gets unlocked, everything that is collected will be awarded as a win at the end of the bonus mode.
Scatter symbols start with 1x and can collect coins, multipliers, upgrades, the rat and the dwarf enhancer.
- Silver cage Scatters: Collect in an x-shape 1 position from itself.
- Gold cage Scatters Collect in an x-shape from the entire rows.

The Scatter symbol furthest to the left will pick up first.
Scatter symbols start with 3 hit points and the collected wins will only be awarded if the birds die.
