Dynamite Frenzy

Light Wonder sets Dynamite Frenzy inside a mine shaft, casting a dwarf as the miner working a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. The tunnel setting comes with neatly rendered rock walls and support beams, all scored by a steady, plodding backing track.

Card ranks from 10 to A cover the low end of the paytable, paying 2.5x the stake for five of a kind, while lanterns, beer mugs, maps and helmets sit above them, paying between 7.5x and 30x for five matching symbols. A wild appears on every reel, substitutes for both the pay symbols and the Cash symbols in a winning line, and pays the same as the top symbol if five land together.

Cash symbols come in three tiers: Bronze pays 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x the stake, Silver pays 10x, 15x or 20x, and Gold runs from 25x up to 50x. A line of five basic nugget Cash symbols is worth up to 4x the stake on its own, but the larger payouts come from the Dwarf symbol, which collects every Cash symbol visible on the grid and pays out their combined total whenever it lands.

Landing one or more Dwarf symbols also triggers a Dynamite Respin once any line wins have been paid: up to 14 bundles of dynamite drop onto empty positions on the grid, and each one explodes to reveal either a Bonus symbol or a Cash symbol underneath — only Cash symbols appear this way during free spins. A Bonus symbol only shows up if two, three or four are already in view, and any Dwarf symbols present then collect the newly revealed Cash values before the feature ends. Reaching three or more Bonus symbols by the end of the respin triggers Free Spins.

Free Spins in Dynamite Frenzy needs three, four or five Bonus symbols to land, awarding 6, 8 or 10 spins respectively; landing a Dynamite Respin and Free Spins on the same result plays the respin out first. Dwarf symbols appear more often once the round is underway, which in turn increases how often the Dynamite Respin fires, and any extra Bonus symbols that land during the round add one further spin each.

Dynamite Frenzy runs at 96.98% RTP with high volatility when played normally, dropping to 95.87% if the free spins are bought outright for 55x the stake, on bets between 0.10 and 100 per spin.
