Diner Dogs

Wicked Games swaps a quiet neon diner for a full casino heist partway through Diner Dogs, playing out the shift as a cluster pays game on a 6x6 grid where five or more matching symbols touching each other anywhere on the board pays out. The opening scene is straight out of an American diner - booths, a long counter, comfort food - with a crew of cartoon crooks waiting around for their cue to move the action into a casino for the bonus round.

Low-value symbols are diner and heist props - keys, cash registers, guns, dice, lighters - while five character symbols carry the higher pays, led by a sharp-suited figure who wouldn't look out of place in a crime film. A five-symbol cluster returns 0.2x to 1x the stake, climbing all the way to 500x-5,000x for combinations of 35 or more matching symbols.

Every win triggers a cascade: the symbols involved clear out, and two extra effects can fire alongside it. Clear the Table sweeps away any matching low-pay symbols left on the board that weren't part of the win, while Poker Face turns any unused high-pay character symbols into mystery symbols instead. New symbols drop to refill the grid and the process repeats until nothing new lands. Once cascading stops, every mystery symbol on the board reveals the same paying symbol at once, though a share of them can reveal a wild instead of a regular icon.

Wilds only appear through those mystery reveals in the base game and substitute for every paying symbol; when one shows up this way it can carry a x2 multiplier. In the free spins rounds, wilds can also land naturally on the reels and arrive with a x5 multiplier, with multiple wild multipliers in a single win multiplying together rather than adding.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters sends the game into one of three escalating free spins modes - The Plan, The Master Plan, or The Super Master Plan - each awarding 10 spins, with every scatter that lands during the feature adding another spin and firing a cascade. Positions where a x5 wild lands get marked with a gold frame, and any mystery symbol revealed inside that frame afterwards becomes another x5 wild. The Master Plan round adds a second tier: silver-framed positions turn future mystery reveals into x2 or x4 wilds, and if a x5 wild lands on a silver frame it gets upgraded to gold. In the top-tier Super Master Plan round, a x5 wild is guaranteed on every single spin.

Players can also buy their way in directly - The Plan costs 90x the stake, The Heist (which can land any of the three scatter counts) 150x, The Master Plan 270x, and The Super Master Plan 750x - or spend smaller amounts on boosters like Tip Off, which raises the free spins trigger chance fivefold for 3x the bet, or Inside Job, which guarantees mystery symbols convert to wilds without any scatters landing, for 9x. RTP on Diner Dogs is 96.11%, volatility is rated high, the maximum win is 20,000x the bet, and stakes span 0.10 to 200 per spin.
