No extra rule changes a spin. Lines are read from the leftmost reel, and three or more scatters anywhere start free spins. The reels you see are the whole result.
Fixed lines and an open deck
Plain-sailing landings are the most straightforward calls on the river. Every spin is checked along the game’s fixed lines, starting from the leftmost reel, and a line pays when three, four or five matching symbols sit on it side by side.
Wilds take the place of any symbol except the scatter. When a line could be read as wilds on their own or as wilds joined to another symbol, it pays the better of the two readings and never both.
Free spins work exactly as everywhere else aboard: three, four or five scatters start a set, and landing three more during the feature adds another.
A worked example. Three red dories from the left on the top line pay the three-of-a-kind award. A fourth dory on reel four would pay the four-of-a-kind award in its place, not as well as.
