Cockroach Fortune: The Knockout Grid

Land 3+ Bell Scatters to trigger 12 Free Games. During the bonus, the Cockroach Wild roams the reels — it doesn't stay locked, it moves one reel left each spin until it drops off the grid (~5 spins of coverage).

Every time the Roaming Wild contributes to a winning line, it applies a x2 multiplier to that line. Multiple Roaming Wilds on the same spin stack multiplicatively (x2 × x2 = x4). This is the main variance driver of the bonus.

After any paying spin, enter the Risk Gamble. You see a dealer card face-up, and you must pick a card with a higher value. Win → bet doubles. Lose → win is gone. Chain up to 10 consecutive correct picks.

Unlike color-guess gambles (50/50), the dealer card shows, which means your guess probability is NOT always 50%. A dealer showing a 7 gives you 6/12 = 50%. A dealer showing 2 gives you 10/12 = ~83%. A dealer showing Q gives 2/12 = ~17%. Practically: accept when dealer shows low, fold when dealer shows Q or K. Over a perfect-play session, the gamble has zero house edge — it's strictly EV-neutral.

Triggered by an alternate Scatter combination (landing 3 Training Camp icons). You pick training gear across 3 levels: Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3, with each level offering higher cash prizes or entry to the Main Event (a direct Championship Rounds trigger with x3 starting multiplier).

Pick distribution per level: Level 1 has ~70% cash (5x–25x) + 30% advance, Level 2 has ~60% cash (25x–100x) + 40% advance. Level 3 is pure cash (100x–500x) or Main Event entry (~10%). EV per Training Camp trigger: ~120x bet.

Consecutive non-winning base-game spins silently accumulate an Underdog counter. When you finally hit a win, the counter awards a random multiplier (1x to 10x) applied to that win. The counter resets after any successful spin.

Rough scaling: 5 dry spins in a row → up to 2x mult, 10 dry → up to 5x, 20+ dry → up to 10x mult. This is why Cockroach Fortune feels "fair" on high volatility — long cold streaks are indirectly rewarded.
