Some of the reels have a number on the bottom right (1,2, or 3)... Think of those as the number of carrots. Those carrots can be placed on, or added to, what is on the the carrot trail.
Carrot Trail: Each spin will add any carrots on the reels together to show on the carrot trail.
- Each spin starts with 0 carrots on the Trail unless the Trail Held is highlighted under the carrot trail. Only then will the carrots on your current spin be added to the carrots received on the very next spin.
Trail Held is random and will not happen every spin
If you happen to reach the ???? area (also known as the chance spin) you will see items/words scrolling quickly right above the reels .. click "spin" to stop on one of the following items:
- Free Spin-Your next spin will be free
- Boost-adds a random amount of carrots to your carrot trail, if you are lucky enough to get a high number and Trial Held it highlighted , then you can win entrance into the Feature Board.
- Skill Stop-click on spin to try to stop on add 1 which will add 1 to your carrot trail 4 adds in a row takes you to the feature board
- Lose-takes you back to slots to spin again, if you wish
- Win Spin- the wheel will spin and automatically land on matching pictures and you will win a coin prize
Every now and then You will see "nudges " or "Holds":
Nudges will allow you to roll one of the reels one time by clicking under the reel you desire to move. (you can win multiple nudges and use them on any of the reels you want, depending on your strategy )
Holds allow you to hold up to 2 of the 3 reels for the next spin.
- Nudges and Holds are handy in order to try to add up the carrots to try to gain entrance to the feature board or to move/spin a reel to line up 3 of a kind for coin prizes
(Using nudges are free, it cost no coins to move the reel and may actually be helpful in winning a trail held, coins, or a chance spin )
