Lootlines

When Multi-Dough symbols land with Donny’s cheeky face on them, there’s a chance of big rewards. There are 4 versions of Multi-Dough symbols that appear with the following values:

• Adding Multi-Dough symbols – 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x
• Revealing (adding) Multi-Dough symbols – 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x
• Multiplying Multi-Dough symbols – x2, x3, x4, x5
• Revealing (multiplying) Multi-Dough symbols – x6, x7, x8, x9, x10, x15, x20, x25

Revealing Multi-Dough symbols always land with a question mark first, going on to reveal their values after. When a minimum of 3 Multi-Dough symbols form a win line from the leftmost reel, the payout is determined by the values of those that are part of the win.

Sticky Dough Bonus

Landing 3 FS Scatters in the base game triggers the Sticky Dough Bonus, awarding 10 Free Spins.

During this round, all Multi-Dough symbols become sticky until they are part of a winning pay line. Multi-Dough symbols as part of a win are removed on the next spin.

Landing 2 or 3 FS Scatters awards an additional +2 and +4 Free Spins respectively.

Strike Gold Bonus

Landing 4 FS Scatters in the base game triggers the Strike Gold Bonus, awarding 10 Free Spins.

Whenever a winning pay line of Multi-Dough symbols appears in view, a Light Bulb is lit above all reels that were part of the win. One light bulb is lit per reel for each winning Multi-Dough symbol, up to a maximum of 4.

Landing a Donny’s Hat symbol will activate a Respin if light bulbs are lit. During the Respin, a number of Multi-Dough symbols equal to lit Light Bulbs will be placed in random positions on respective reels, potentially creating additional pay line wins. In addition, a Donny’s Hat symbol is guaranteed to land on the final spin.

Landing 2 or 3 FS Scatters will award an additional +2 and +4 Free Spins respectively.

Conclusion

We’ve come to appreciate Hacksaw Gaming for their skills in bringing forward new mechanics, quite like Lootlines seen here. Donny Dough is hot off the press with quirky features and multiple Free Spins rounds, hammering down on adding and multiplying Multi-Dough symbols.

Players get a taste of the new Lootlines feature in the base game, triggered when 3 or more Multi-Dough symbols form a win line from the leftmost reel. Multi-Dough symbols consist of 4 unique versions, with revealing (adding) symbols awarding values worth up to 500x your bet.

During Gold Strike Free Spins, winning Multi-Dough symbols activate light bulbs above the reels. These remain idle until a Donny’s Hat symbol appears in view, causing a Respin to trigger. During Respins, many Multi-Dough symbols equal to lit light bulbs are added to respective reel positions. This enhances your chances of triggering additional Lootlines in a single spin, to the tune of 10,000x in max wins.

When you first play Donny Dough, it’s easy to deceive Multi-Dough symbols as an instant win with regular paytable symbols, but you soon realise there’s more to it than simply landing 1 or 2 within a regular pay line.
