Gameplay overview

Balloon Race is divided into three main phases: the Qualification Phase, the Top-Up Phase, and the Bonus Round. Here's how each phase works:

      1. Qualification phase: This initial phase is played on a 5x3 slot grid with 10 fixed paylines. Players aim to land three Scatters or Wilds to qualify for the Bonus Round. This phase features three spin modes: Normal, XXXtreme, and Super XXXtreme, each offering different levels of risk and reward. Normal spins have a standard RTP, while the XXXtreme spins guarantee at least one Scatter or Wild, and Super XXXtreme spins guarantee two, with higher multipliers up to 500x​.

      2. Top-up phase: After qualifying for the Bonus Round, players can participate in the Top-Up Phase to increase their potential multipliers. By releasing 3 to 6 balloons, each with a potential Top-Up value, players can accumulate additional multipliers that will apply in the Bonus Round. The value of these multipliers depends on the balloons reaching the finish line without popping​.

      3. Bonus round: This live game show phase features a ball drawing machine and a race between four hot air balloons, each corresponding to a color. The host draws balls randomly, and each ball moves the corresponding balloon one step closer to the finish line. The first balloon to cross the finish line determines the payout for the players, with all accumulated multipliers being applied to the final payout​.
