Game Mechanics and Rules

Initiate play by holding the spin button to inflate the balloon.
After placing a wager, the balloon may display an initial credit value, trigger a bonus balloon, or pop.
Initial credit amounts range from 10 to 150 times the bet multiplier.
When an initial credit value is shown, continue inflating for a chance to increase the award, detach the balloon to claim the credit, or risk the balloon popping.
Credit increases can range from 5% up to 7303%.
Players may use the collect button at any stage before a pop to secure the current credit amount.
The round concludes when a credit amount is collected or awarded, a pick bonus is completed, or the balloon bursts.
Total base game winnings are calculated as: initial credit amount x (100% + credit amount increase).
All credit awards are multiplied by the applicable bet multiplier.
The bet multiplier is determined by dividing the total credits wagered by 0.20. For example, a bet of 0.40 per spin results in a bet multiplier of 2 (0.40 / 0.20 = 2).
Win amounts in the payout table are displayed in coins.
Bonus round winnings are added to main game wins.
If interrupted, any uncollected credit will be automatically secured.

Multiplier Feature

Whenever an initial credit amount is displayed, the Multiplier Feature can activate at random.
This feature multiplies the collected or awarded credit by up to 10 times, then ends the round.

Pick Bonus Feature

If a bonus balloon appears, the Pick Bonus can be triggered or the balloon may pop instead.
The Pick Bonus allows play for up to 8 rounds, each offering a choice among 5 balloons.
Each balloon reveals either a credit prize or a 2x multiplier.
Select a balloon to receive the revealed reward.
Choosing a 2x multiplier doubles the current bonus total.
Certain balloons may display an advance icon (moving to the next round) or a complete icon (ending the bonus).
Credit prizes within the bonus are multiplied by the bonus bet multiplier.
The bonus bet multiplier reflects that of the triggering bet.
All bonus winnings are collected automatically during the feature.
