On each spin a three-carriage vehicle appears on the track underneath the reels carrying extra features that are added to the game. These extra features can help you unlock blocks to expand the playing area and add additional features to the game. The standard grid offers 45 win ways which is increased to a whopping 3,125 win ways when you managed to expand the reels to the 5×5 row structure.
