Ordinary spins behave like a Straight Play. Once free spins begin, each spin moves the multiplier one step up the applause ladder until it reaches the top step, where it stays.
Applause that grows with every free spin
Rising Applause keeps its effect for the feature. Three or more scatters begin the free spins, the first of which pays at the lowest step of the ladder. Every free spin after that climbs one step, and once the top is reached the rest of the feature pays at that value.
The ladder depends on the production’s volatility. Low-volatility ladders run 1×, 2×, 2×, 3×; medium ones run 1×, 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×; high ones begin at 2× and climb 3×, 5×, 8× and 10×. In this repertoire, Lead Type and Vermilion carries the high ladder and the other five productions with Rising Applause use the medium one.
A worked example. On the medium ladder, a line worth 6 credits pays 6 on the first free spin, 18 on the third and 30 on the fifth or any free spin after it.
