Amaterasu Rising: Gods of the Sun by EdgeLabs combines expanding Wilds with a respin feature built around joining symbols into rectangles. The ordinary game has five reels and fifty paylines; Free Games add another route into the puzzle-like bonus. The shift from line wins to growing shapes is its most distinctive idea.
Quick take: Six or more Bonus Icons trigger Respins from the main game or Free Games. New puzzle pieces stay in place and refresh the three-respin counter.
Theme and Gameplay
Goddess, God, Dragon and Sword & Shield symbols give the 5×4 board its mythological setting. Alongside them, look for the expanding Wilds on reels two, three and four. They fill their reels and substitute for paying symbols, excluding Scatter and Bonus Icons.
The 2X Wild adds a separate boost to a winning line. One pays 2x, two pay 4x and three pay 8x. That is worth distinguishing from an ordinary expanding Wild: both can cover a reel, but the marked version also changes the line’s payout multiplier.
Slot Features
Three Scatters award eight Free Games. Scatters appear on reels one, three and five, and landing two or three during the bonus adds three or eight Free Games respectively. The feature uses special reels, while six or more Bonus Icons can still lead into Respins.
Respins begin with three attempts and expand the board upwards by two rows. The number of symbols that triggered the feature is redistributed as held puzzle pieces. Each new piece stays in place and resets the remaining attempts to three.
As pieces fill the area, they join into larger rectangles. There are thirty possible shapes, each with a score and associated prize. A ranking resolves which shape forms when there is more than one possible arrangement, so the visual join is part of the game’s result rather than a player-controlled puzzle choice.
The feature ends when the board is full or three respins pass without a new piece. Its wins are added and awarded at the end. Filling all thirty cells awards a 2,000x Jackpot prize.
Feature focus: Watch the rectangles forming as well as the respin counter. A new piece can change the shape and refresh the remaining attempts.
RTP and Win Potential
The 2X Wild’s line multipliers are 2x, 4x and 8x, depending on how many are involved. The full-board Respin Jackpot pays 2,000 times the bet. That Jackpot is tied to filling all thirty cells, rather than simply entering the bonus.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Joining locked pieces into rectangles gives the respin collection a different visual goal from a board filled only with separate cash amounts. Watching a larger shape form makes the expanding area meaningful, and the ranking removes any suggestion that the player has to solve it manually.
The expanding Wilds keep the ordinary game recognisable, while Free Games and Respins offer distinct changes of pace. This should suit someone who likes a bonus that visibly develops across the board. A player seeking a short reel game with one simple feature may find the line multipliers, retriggers and shape awards more involved than they want.
Final Take: A fifty-line mythological slot with expanding Wilds and a resetting respin feature that joins held pieces into prize-winning rectangles.
