Playing Build Your Empire is fairly simple. Starting bets range from 20 to a maximum of 100,000 coins. The 7x7 reel layout dominates the screen, and a bar down the bottom of the screen displays game statistics including the Bet, Win, and Balance. The - and + buttons are used to change the bet. There are various game controls on the right side of the reels.
An icon with a plus sign is present at the top. When you click this, the following icons appear:
Home: exit the game
Speaker: Change the volume of the music and sound effects.
i - Review the paytable and game regulations.
The payout for 48 of the four card symbols on the reels is up to 6000x.
The higher-paying symbols offer big payouts ranging from 12,000x to 60,000x stake for 48 on the reels.
A total of 8 or 30 free spins are awarded when three or four crown bonus symbols land on the reels, respectively. As these symbols only appear in the corners of the reels, the maximum number that can land at once is 4. Free spins cannot be retriggered during this feature, but a group of one to three symbols is randomly put on the reels to increase the odds of winning.
The major feature of the Build Your Empire game is the Racking Up Riches bonus function. When you land four or more adjacent symbols on the reels, they combine to form a cluster that pays out. As fresh symbols land in the empty spots, they have the potential to contribute to the cluster already present or form new ones, which increases the chances of winning.
