The player’s mission is now to help their character escape this terrifying creature by navigating through four different stages within the escape game.
Successfully completing each stage awards an additional 5 free spins, thus extending the excitement and potential for big wins. Throughout the game, players can also encounter special escape symbols, which accelerate their character’s progress in escaping the monster.
Should players manage to outsmart the pursuing monster and successfully escape each stage, they will be rewarded with 5 free spins and given access to an exquisite Special Event Reward. This reward comes in the form of a bonus chest containing enticing cash values, which have the power to significantly boost players’ winnings.
