Buckle Up for Take-Off 

The game begins with the Qualification Phase, featuring a 5x3 grid slot with 10 fixed paylines. Your goal is to land any combination of three scatter symbols or Expanding Wilds, which qualifies you for the bonus game. Expanding Wilds stretch across full reels and substitute for any symbol except scatters, while scatters may carry multipliers up to 10x. 

Next is the Top Up Phase. Here, you release 36 virtual balloons and watch them float toward the sky. Some balloons pop, while others reach the top and boost your bonus total. You can increase your bet to enhance multiplier values, and if you qualify too close to the race starting time, you’ll need to choose whether to join the next round or wait for a fresh Top Up opportunity. 

Once the Top Up Phase ends, it’s time for the main event. In the Balloon Race Bonus round, a game host takes over in a live studio setting, guiding you through the race. A ball machine draws from 80 coloured balls, where each colour corresponds to a hot air balloon on-screen. During the bonus, each draw pushes that colour’s balloon one step closer to the finish line. 

The first balloon to ascend five steps triggers the win. At this point, all relevant multipliers, including scatters, top-ups, and the winning bonus, are combined to calculate your total payout. 

The winning colour’s final multiplier is shown at the top of its path, and your base bet is multiplied accordingly. Any Qualification slot wins from your trigger spin are added at the end.
