The first feature of the game is the Random Wild Pattern feature. On the right side of the screen, there is a circular device with 8 other circular positions. The outer positions will randomly turn blue with each spin. If a wild appears at the same time as the positions turn blue, all the adjacent symbols according to the blue positions at that moment will turn into wilds as well.
The Free Spins feature is triggered when players land at least 3 scatters on a payline. Before the round begins, players can choose 1 from 4 possible bonuses:

During the free spins, the chosen circular positions remain active throughout. The feature is extended by the initial number of free spins with every 3 scatters that land during it.
Last but not least, players can go for the Ante Bet option. With a 25% increase in the stake, the chance of scoring free spins is increased by 100%.
