- Thunder– carries 8-12 spins and 3x-6x multipliers.
- Buffalo– comes with 6-12 spins and 4x-10x multipliers.

You can pick any of the 4 free games, but you will realize that the more free spins, the lower the multiplier potential. A random wild multiplier is also applied during the feature, and if more than 1 wild is part of the winning combo, the multiplier values are added (not multiplied) and applied to the win.

The feature is randomly triggered, and you are guaranteed at least 1 of the progressive jackpots.
