How one spin of Once Again Upon a Time runs

The unit of play in Once Again Upon a Time is the spin: priced at your stake, resolved by the symbols. It plays on a 5x3 grid and paylines wins. Fixed lines keep the staging legible: a spin lines up or it does not. Speed settings change the pacing you watch, never the price you pay: the same stake buys the same odds at any tempo.

Features and what they do to the runtime

Features decide how a session of Once Again Upon a Time paces itself. It carries Hold And Win, Free Spins, Instant Prize, Buy Bonus, Random Features and Mystery Symbol and more. What they do on stage:

• Hold And Win — Hold and Win locks money symbols and resets its counter on every new land — a scene that runs while the hits keep coming.
• Free Spins — a run of rounds at no extra stake — the extended act every session waits for.
• Instant Prize — a set value revealed and settled in the same spin.
• Buy Bonus — skip the opening act entirely; the stub costs a multiple of the stake and the show starts loud.

The bill runs both ways: hold and win and free spins add scenes, instant prize and buy bonus hand you the exit.
