Free spins
Personal free spins belong to a single character. Whenever an Experience symbol lands on a reel, the associated character gains ten experience.
- A character holding one hundred or more experience points at the end of a spin activates their personal free spins.
- The character uses their ability on every spin of the run, and the run is always three spins.
- Experience is saved between sessions.
- The coin value for the run is the average of all spins in which experience was collected for that character.
IPO free spins are activated whenever three Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels.
- The run is always ten spins and all characters are present.
- Dinesh and Dunn activate their abilities before the first spin and stay active until the run ends, and their abilities combine with extra Wilds from the other characters.
- Richard, Gilfoyle and Erlich each have a chance to activate on any spin. They cannot activate together on the same spin, but each may activate on several different spins.
- The run is played at the same bet as the round that activated it and cannot be retriggered.
Buy feature
The Bonus Game button activates the IPO free spins immediately. A prompt warns that the buy feature costs 111 times the bet amount and asks the player to confirm; choosing Yes starts the run.
Return to Player
- The theoretical return to player is 96.48 per cent.
- The theoretical return to player for the buy feature is 96.56 per cent.
