This Game is a game of chance. The outcome of a Play in the Game is pre-determined by Allwyn's Computer System at the point of purchase. You are not required to exercise any skill or judgement to win a Prize.
HOW TO PLAY AND WIN
Each Play has its own Play Number - this can be found on the Game outcome screen once the Game has been finished, in the “My Games” section of Your Account.
At the start of a Play, You are presented with a splash screen displaying the Game name, the messages; 'CONNECT 2 OR MORE LIKE SYMBOLS TO MERGE'; 'REACH THE MERGE CHECKPOINTS TO WIN PRIZES'; 'REVEAL 5 SYMBOLS TO UNLOCK 2 EXTRA TURNS'; 'WIN UP TO £50,000'; a 'HOW TO PLAY' button and a 'PLAY' button.
On selecting the 'PLAY' button, You will be presented with the Game Play Window.
How To Play
If You select the 'HOW TO PLAY' button, You will be taken to the How To Play screen. The screen will change, and a panel with the heading 'HOW TO PLAY' will appear containing the following instructions:
'THE GAME STARTS WITH 3 TURNS.
TAP THE PLAY BUTTON TO START A TURN. THE SYMBOLS IN THE PLAY GRID WILL FALL AND RANDOMLY FILL.
WHEN A CLUSTER OF 2 OR MORE LIKE SYMBOLS ARE CONNECTED, THOSE SYMBOLS WILL MERGE.
THE NUMBER OF SYMBOLS MERGED WILL APPEAR IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE REMAINING SYMBOL.'
On selecting the arrow on the right of the instructions, You will be presented with a second screen containing the following instructions:
'NEW SYMBOLS WILL THEN FILL THE GRID. THOSE NEW SYMBOLS CAN CREATE A NEW MERGED GROUP OR BE ADDED TO ALREADY MERGED SYMBOLS.
EACH TIME THERE IS A MERGE, THE NUMBER OF MERGES ARE ADDED TO THE PRIZE METER FOR THAT SYMBOL.'
On selecting the arrow on the right of the instructions, You will be presented with a third screen containing the following instructions:
'IF A NEW GROUP OF PRE-MERGED SYMBOLS FILLS THE GRID, ANY CONNECTING LIKE SYMBOLS WILL MERGE TO THE NEW GROUP OF PRE-MERGED SYMBOLS.
IF THERE ARE NO CONNECTING LIKE SYMBOLS, THAT NEW GROUP OF PRE-MERGED SYMBOLS WILL FILL THE PRIZE METER FOR THAT SYMBOL.'
On selecting the arrow on the right of the instructions, You will be presented with a fourth screen containing the following instructions:
'REACH THE MERGE CHECKPOINTS IN THE PRIZE TABLE TO WIN PRIZES.
REVEAL 5 
TO UNLOCK 2 EXTRA TURNS.
THE 2 EXTRA TURNS WILL BE ADDED TO THE TURNS LEFT PANEL.'
You must select the 'X' in the top right corner of the How To Play screen to be taken to the Game Play Window.
On the left of the Game Play Window is a 4 x 4 grid (the “Grid”), which contains a variety of symbols (the “Symbols”, each a “Symbol”). To the right of the Grid is a prize table (the “Prize Table”), consisting of 8 columns and 20 rows (the “Rows”, each a “Row”), the label 'MERGES' on the left, and the label 'PRIZES' on the right.
Each column in the Prize Table contains one of a variety of Symbols from the Grid, and 20 boxes in the corresponding colour to the Symbol, which at the start of Your Play will be unfilled.
Under the label 'MERGES', the second to twentieth Rows are numbered from '2' to '20' to indicate the number of merges completed for a Symbol during Your Play. Under the label 'PRIZES', Rows labelled '8' to '20', display a monetary amount.
To the right of the Prize Table is a 'PLAY' button (the “Play Button”), and a meter with 5 segments which at the start of Your Play will be unfilled (the “Extra Turns Meter”). The top segment of the Extra Turns Meter contains the words '+2 TURNS'. Below the Play Button is a panel containing the words 'TURNS LEFT' which at the start of Your Play will contain the number '3' (the “Turns Left Indicator”).
To start Your Play of the Game, You must select the Play Button. On doing so, the Turns Left Indicator will decrease by 1, the Grid will animate and all Symbols will be removed from the Grid and replaced with a new set of Symbols.
If You select the Play Button and You reveal 2 or more Symbols that are connected, those connected Symbols will animate and move to merge into a single Symbol to form a group of merged Symbols (the “Merged Symbol Group”, together “Merged Symbol Groups”). The number of Symbols merged will appear in the top right corner of the Merged Symbol Group.
If You select the Play Button and there are no Symbols that are connected and of the same type, You must select the Play Button to continue Your Play of the Game.
Once all merges have occurred (if applicable), new Symbols will appear and populate the spaces in the Grid left by merged Symbols. Any new Symbols populated in the Grid that connect to another Symbol of the same type will merge and create a new Merged Symbol Group or add to an existing Merged Symbol Group. The above will occur until there are no remaining Symbols that are connected and of the same type and no new Merged Symbol Groups created.
The Merged Symbol Group will then move and populate the number of boxes corresponding to the number in the top right of the Merged Symbol Group in the column and colour corresponding to the Symbol in the Merged Symbol Group. You must then select the Play Button to continue Your Play of the Game. For the purposes of Your Play, Symbols are 'connected' if they are next to, above or below a symbol(s) of the same type (in a horizontal or vertical line only).
If during Your Play of the Game, You reveal a Symbol with a number in the top corner (each, a “Pre-Merged Symbol Group”, together, the “Pre-Merged Symbol Groups”), You have been awarded the number of merges corresponding to the number in the top corner of that Symbol for that corresponding type of Symbol. Any Symbols that are connected and the same type to the Symbol in that Pre-Merged Symbol Group will be added, and a new Merged Symbol Group created. If there are no Symbols that are connected and the same type to the Symbol in that Pre-Merged Symbol Group, that Pre-Merged Symbol Group will then move and populate the number of boxes corresponding to the number in the top right of the Pre-Merged Symbol Group in the column and colour corresponding to the Symbol in the Pre-Merged Symbol Group.
Your Play will then continue as described above.
If during Your Play of the Game, You reveal an symbol, that symbol will animate and move to populate a segment in the Extra Turns Meter. If during Your Play of the Game You reveal 5 symbols, the screen will animate to display the words '+2 EXTRA TURNS', and the Turns Left Indicator will increase by 2, to indicate You have been awarded 2 additional turns.
If during Your Play of the Game, You create Merged Symbol Groups or reveal Pre-Merged Symbol Groups that have completed 8 or more merges for that Symbol, the box in the Prize Table in the column indicating the number of merges completed and the corresponding monetary amount for that Row will highlight gold to indicate You have won the monetary amount for that Row as a Prize. Note, You will only win the Prize(s) highlighted gold at the end of Your Play as a Prize and not a sum of all of the Rows which have been highlighted throughout Your Play for that Symbol.
Your Play of the Game ends when You have used all of Your turns and the Turns Left Indicator reaches 0 and You have no unused extra turns. A message will then appear indicating the Prize Amount You have won, if any. You must select the 'FINISH' button to complete the Game.
If You have bought a Play of this Game and have completed 8 or more merges for a Symbol, You will, providing the requirements of these Procedures and the Rules are met, be entitled to the total monetary amount of your Prize(s), (the “Prize Amount”) as detailed in the table below:
