Humpty Dumpty Wild Riches Game Characteristics

The grassy Middleham Castle, a gray medieval building in the mountainous North Yorkshire, is in the background of the Humpty Dumpty Wild Riches’ regular 5X3 grid. The green and orange castle flags and a viaduct contrast with the translucent, flimsily partitioned, and blue-reeled grid whose golden frame’s corners have miniature golden “HD” heater shields.

Bet per line: $0.01, $0.02, $0.05, $0.10, $0.20, $0.25, $0.50, and $1.00. The Humpty Dumpty Wild Riches’ total bets (X30 bet factor): $0.30 (minimum), $0.60, $1.50, $3.00, $6.00, $7.50, $15.00, and $30.00 (maximum).

Humpty Dumpty Wild Riches has two special and eleven ordinary symbols. Special: the substituting wild is a smiling humpty dumpty—a bald, blue-shirted, and green-trousered dwarf (or equivalent purple-and-brown logo); and the scatter is a bidirectional scaled blue-and-golden “bonus” wheat spike that prompts the free games.

Ordinary symbols: horse-riding, red-plumed, and white-armored military flag-bearer; royal guardsman; running white horse; King Richard III’s Middleham Castle; purple sack of gold coins; moldy purple and orange fly agaric; and scaled red-and-golden A, K, Q, J, and 10.

When drawn in the 5X3 grid’s middle reel, the ensuing bisected dwarf clones that central reel, resulting in a 6X3 grid. The newly six-reeled grid’s fourth and fifth reels display the dwarf’s disembodied/undressed body parts—head, hands, legs, boots, bowties, and shirt; some may overlay the adjacent symbols—that become “Humpty Dumpty” wilds for huge wins.
3+ “bonus” spikes prompt (selectable): eight free games (featuring 6X3 grid throughout); or, ten free games (featuring a dwarf on the 5X3 grid’s second and fourth reels). The dwarf’s head and torso—on opposing sides atop the grid—gradually take a step towards one another before their meeting point prompts +2 rounds to the wins-doubling free games. Non-progressive jackpot: $120000.00.

The Humpty Dumpty Wild Riches’ software: HTML5 technology; mobile/desktop versions; ambient classical and marching music; and jingling and cartoon wobble effects. The animated 3D graphics: blinking, splitting, levitating, jumping and disembodied dwarf; glittering, explosion, implosion, glowing, spinning, falling boots and coins, breaking egg, and fluttering flags.
