Spin 98 of my Phoenix Rises session showed seven phoenix eggs at once, and the rules go no higher than seven. That set the free spins multiplier to start at x3 and climb by three every spin, so the twelfth free spin was played at x36. The wins inside were small, 3.00 to 6.00 before the multiplier, yet the round paid 563.40. My hundred demo spins, all at 12.00, left the balance 520.20 higher.

How many eggs
The red egg with Free Spins written on it can land on any reel. Five or more on one spin start 12 free spins, and their number decides the multiplier for the whole round:
| Eggs | First free spin | Each spin adds | Twelfth free spin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | x1 | +1 | x12 |
| 6 | x2 | +2 | x24 |
| 7 | x3 | +3 | x36 |
Five more eggs during the round add another 12 spins, and the multiplier keeps rising until it hits the x150 cap. My first bonus, on spin 49, came with five eggs. The second came with seven: one each on the first four reels and a full column on the fifth.
Spin 98: twelve steps of three
The intro screen confirmed it: 12 free spins, every one raising the multiplier by 3.
The first two free spins, at x3 and x6, paid nothing. Seven of the twelve won:
| Free spin | Multiplier | Win | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | x9 | 6.00 | 54.00 |
| 4 | x12 | 3.00 | 36.00 |
| 6 | x18 | 3.00 | 54.00 |
| 7 | x21 | 3.00 | 63.00 |
| 8 | x24 | 3.60 | 86.40 |
| 9 | x27 | 6.00 | 162.00 |
| 12 | x36 | 3.00 | 108.00 |
The ninth was three scrolls on three reels, 6.00, and at x27 a Big Win.
In the same way three jacks, 3.00, became 108.00 on the last spin, and the round closed at 563.40, 47 stakes.
With five eggs the same twelve spins would have run from x1 to x12. That is what happened on spin 49, and four small wins at x1, x4, x8 and x9 added up to 96.00.
Gold ingots and phoenix wilds
Outside the bonus the game is plain: five reels, three rows, all 243 ways, no cascades. The phoenix wild lands on the middle three reels only.
| Symbol | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold ingot | 30 | 60 | 150 |
| Red knot charm | 20 | 50 | 120 |
| Jade pendant | 15 | 45 | 100 |
| Phoenix scroll | 10 | 45 | 80 |
| A, K | 6 | 15 | 50 |
| Q, J | 5 | 10 | 40 |
Each point was 0.60 on my bet. The best base spin came from the ingots: on spin 57 the fourth reel was all wilds, another wild sat on top of reel three, and gold ingots on reels one, two and five made three ways of five. Three ways of four aces through the same wilds added 27.00, and the spin paid 297.00.
Few wins, few small ones
Only 21 of my 100 spins won anything, but just six of those paid less than the stake. Four base spins went over 100.00: spin 57 with its ingots, spin 36 with 162.00, spin 87 with 108.00 and spin 6 with 102.00. In all 1,720.20 came back for 1,200.00, and the balance finished at 100,520.20, close to its high of 100,544.20 after spin 98.
