Dancing Drums Prosperity features

One of the interesting things about Prosperity, and one that sets this game apart from its predecessors, is its random drum feature. This can trigger randomly as you play the base game and causes the grid to expand up to a 6x5 size offering 7,776 ways to win. If you like a slot with free spins, you will also love the growing reels free spins bonus. You also get the opportunity to win a second jackpot that can be randomly awarded as you play the fu babies bonus.

Let’s take a look at some of the bonuses in a little more detail:

Free spins

There are two drum symbols that hold the key to the free spins - land three to launch the bonus. If one of these is a golden drum, you will benefit from the growing reels free spins bonus. The golden drum can only appear on the third reel during the base game. If you trigger the free spins, you will get five options based on the size of the grid and the number of free spins. You can choose a bigger grid and less free spins, or vice versa; alternatively, let the game decide how many rows and spins you will get. If you activate the growing reels, the grid will randomly change between a trio of grid sizes or a random pick. During the free spins, you can win three more bonus games for landing at least two more drum icons next to each other starting on the first reel.

Fu baby jackpot

Each wild that lands offer an opportunity to win a fu baby jackpot. These prizes can be awarded on any spin during the base game or bonus feature. If the jackpot game is triggered, you will be presented with 12 coins. If you reveal three matching symbols, the jackpot will be yours. 

Bonus pick

You may also get a bonus pick after you have won one of the jackpots. This can lead to you winning a second jackpot prize.

Red letter bonus

As if this is not enough bonus opportunities, you could also be awarded a red letter bonus at any time. If you are betting between 22 and 62 credits, this prize could be 3,888 credits.

Buy-in

If you don’t want to wait for the features, you can use the buy pass function and pay for the privilege. Accessing the basic free spins game will cost you 37.6x your base wager, while the growing reels free spins will require you to pay 63.15x.
