ABOUT GAME
Fire Joker Freeze is a 3-reel video slot with 5 fixed paylines. The FIRE JOKER and the ICE JOKER are WILDS and will substitute for ANY symbol. All symbols can appear as a stack. ICE JOKER can become a stack on a non-winning spin and if there is a chance to trigger the wheel feature.
RE-SPIN OF ICE is triggered when there is an ICE JOKER on a non-winning spin. The ICE JOKER sticks in place and then becomes a stack to cover the reel. Only the reels that do not contain the ICE JOKER will RE-SPIN.

RE-SPIN OF FIRE is triggered when there are 2 stacks of the same symbol on a non-winning spin. Stacked reels stick in place and the other reel will RE-SPIN. Where two different reels would RE-SPIN, then the reels that would give you the biggest potential reward will remain in place.

WHEEL OF FIRE AND ICE is triggered when all reel positions are filled with the same symbol (including FIRE JOKER and ICE JOKER WILD). WHEEL OF FIRE AND ICE is a wheel of MULTIPLIERS that has 4 wheels with different MULTIPLIERS. The wheel always starts at the innermost wheel, unless there is an ICE JOKER stack on the spin that triggers the wheel feature. When there are 2 stacks of the same symbol and there is an ICE JOKER on the other reel, the ICE JOKER will immediately become a stack to trigger the wheel.

If the player triggers the wheel with one stack of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 2nd wheel instead of on the innermost wheel. If the player triggers the wheel with two stacks of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 3rd wheel. If the player triggers the wheel with three or full-screen stacks of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 4th wheel.
When the wheel stops on the MULTIPLIER, the MULTIPLIER multiplies the winnings on the spin that triggers the wheel. If the wheel stops on the SNOWFLAKE symbol, the current wheel will be removed and the player advances to the next wheel, giving the player another spin with a new set of MULTIPLIERS.

Wheel 1 MULTIPLIERS: x2, x3, x4 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 2 MULTIPLIERS: x3, x4, x5 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 3 MULTIPLIERS: x4, x5, x6 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 4 MULTIPLIERS: x6, x10 and x20... https://bit.ly/3na25cQ
