The HyperBet options with an x1 multiplier are 9 in the range of 0.35 and £35. The HyperBet options with an x3 multiplier are also 9 and vary between 0.60 and £60. The HyperBet variants with an x6 multiplier are 9 and start from £1.20 reaching to £120. The volatility is high.

There are plenty of modifiers, bonus games and features in Sky Hunters. On each spin, you can win from the multiplier that shows a random value in the range of x1 to x6. There is a Collection Meter on top that displays all symbols and highlights the active ones. You will play in a cycle of 10 spins and this is called the Lucky Loops feature. After every 10 spins, the active symbols turn into special expanding ones. The expanding symbol covers its whole reel if this can result in at least one winning combination. This gives you great payouts that are further boosted by the multiplier.

You can trigger 10 free spins with the help of 3 or more double wild/scatter symbols and add more with the chest symbol. Some players can use the Hyper Bonus. It activates the free spins for the price of 27.71 to 154 times your stake according to which of the 3 options you chose. A full screen of the best symbol in terms of payout or wilds results in 2,285.60 times your stake. If this win is boosted with the max multiplier of x6, you will pocket 13,713.60 times your bet!

The Design

The game is set in a mysterious and magical place. Small ship islands are floating in the air around all sides of the playing area. The background shows an orange misty fog. Under the grid, you will see white clouds and tiny nature paradise islands. Over the 5×3 grid, there is a red air balloon canvas among the clouds.

The grid is semi-transparent and reveals part of the scenery behind it. On it, you will see stylishly designed card royals, 4 main characters including a lady, a boy, a man and a wooden one. The wild is a ship. The Collection meter above is flanked by fluorescent bulbs with blue light. After every 10 spins, you will have expanding symbols of the activated ones.

On each spin, you will have a random multiplier applied to your wins. It is set on a special gadget to the right, which is connected to the grid. On top of the reels in the centre, you can see a counter displaying the spins’ sessions by 10. The graphics are detailed, stylish, nice and merge you into a fantasy world. The soundtrack is moving, adventurous and atmospheric. It mixes with the melody of each win and the spinning of the reels. The free spins play in a dark grey foggy background with more dramatic music playing.

Sky Hunters Gameplay

The pay-table consists of 5 playing cards at the low end, 4 premiums of 4 characters. There is a ship wild, an Accumulation and a Chest symbol. You need to land 2 (premiums and wilds) or 3 to 5 matching symbols on any of the 20 fixed pay-lines. They must appear from the leftmost reel to the right. The 10, J and Q pay equally. Landing 3, 4 or 5 identical on a line from left to right return 0.14x, 0. 28x and 1.42x bet. The K and A pay 0.14, 0.57 and 4.28 times your bet.

The premiums reward for 2 to 5 matching symbols on a line from left to right. The wooden character and the boy have the same values. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 of any of these of a kind on a line return 0.05, 0.28, 2.85 and 17.14 times your bet. The lady with the gun returns from 0.11 to 57.14 times your stake for 2 to 5 matching symbols in combinations. The man with the shotgun pays 0.17, 0.85, 17.14 and 114.28 times your stake for 2, 3, 4 and 5 symbols on a pay-line from left to right. This is the most rewarding of all symbols.

The wild has the same payout as this of the man with the shotgun. You will get from 0.17 to 114.28 times your stake for 2 to 5 wilds on pay-lines. It substitutes for all others except the Accumulation and the Chest extra free spins symbols. If you land 3 wild symbols anywhere on the grid you will win 2x bet. Hitting 4 wilds in random positions pay 4x bet and 5 wilds anywhere on the reels pay 20x bet. The wild is a double symbol and also triggers free spins when at least 3 hit the screen in a spin.

On each spin, you will have your payouts boosted from the random win multiplier on the right. It displays a random value in the range of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 or x6 by chance. You will play in a series of 10 spins during which you will activate symbols. After the 10th spin, the activated symbols may become expanding symbols. More about this feature read below.

Sky Hunters Features / Bonuses

Sky Hunters is full of features, modifiers and bonus games. One of them is the Lucky Loops. Every time you land of the blue Accumulation symbol, one of the standard symbols is activated. You can see all symbols on the Collection Meter above the reels. You activate them by landing the Collection symbol during each series of 10 spins. On every 10th spin, the active symbols in the Collection Meter turn into Expanding one if they can result in one or more wins.

Each of these expanding symbols covers the reels they appear on as long as the expansion can result in at least one winning combination. You will be paid for the expanded symbols, which reward on any position on a pay-line. Many of these symbols can ensure consecutive and massive wins. After the 10th spin, the Collection Meter gets reset. It then starts the activation of symbols from the start.

In the base game, you can play at 3 different HyperBet levels:

Level 1 – 6 starting free spins;
Level 2 – 8 starting free spins and all wins are multiplied by a random win multiplier of 1x, 2x or 3x;
Level 3 – 10 initial free spins and all wins are boosted by a random win multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 6x;

You can trigger the Free Spins Bonus by landing 3 or more Wild symbols in any position on the reels. You will be paid 2x, 4x or 20x bet for 3, 4 or 5 wilds regardless of their position. If the wilds land on pay-lines you will win more according to the pay-table as explained above. You will win 10 starting Free Spins and can add more during the rounds.

The Free Spins you will play with the first symbol selected on the Collection Meter. This is the first the Special Expanding one. Every time you land the Accumulation symbol, a random inactive symbol gets activated on the meter. It becomes the Special Expanding one on that spin and all following free spins. There is a main difference with the gameplay in free spins from the base mode. It is that all Special Expanding symbols activate immediately after they land. They cover their reels right away and you do not have to wait for 10 spinning cycles for that to happen as in the base game.

Each Chest Extra Free spins Symbol you land adds 2 more free spins to the ones you have left. The number of starting free spins and the value of the win multiplier range. They depend on the HyperBet level you have selected.

Players can use the Hyper Bonus option to buy their way to the free spins. You click the button on the left bottom of the grid and then you will have 3 options to choose from:

6 Free Spins with no win multiplier – for the price of 27,71 times your stake;
8 Free Spins with 1x to 3x win multiplier – for the price of 63.37 times your bet;
10 Free Spins with 1x up to 6x win multiplier – for the price of 154 times your stake;

After you have selected one of these 3 options, you will play the Free Spins Bonus the same way as explained above. Expanding symbols activate and cover the reels the moment they land. They are active for the rest of the free spins and their number increases.
