Hacksaw Gaming has introduced a new addition to its slot catalog with the release of FRKN Bananas. This title introduces mechanics that modify the grid dynamically, combining wild symbols with multipliers that shift as the game progresses. The game incorporates special features that allow symbols to expand in designated directions, leading to opportunities for increased payouts.

A core element in FRKN Bananas is the Spreading Banana symbol. When this symbol appears on the reels, it expands either upward within the same reel or leftward along the same row, stopping only when it reaches the edge of the grid. However, this expansion only occurs if the newly created symbols contribute to at least one winning combination. The function of the Spreading Banana goes beyond simple expansion, as each one also acts as a wild multiplier. Before spreading, the symbol reveals a multiplier value, which is then applied to any potential wins. All newly generated Spreading Banana symbols retain the same multiplier as the original symbol. If multiple Spreading Bananas overlap in the same position, their multipliers combine, increasing the overall value of the win. Multipliers range from 1x to 100x, creating different levels of potential returns.

The slot features two bonus rounds activated when a specific number of scatter symbols land during the base game. If three FS scatter symbols appear simultaneously, the Bananza! bonus round is triggered, awarding ten free spins. This round retains the base game's mechanics but increases the likelihood of Spreading Bananas appearing with higher multipliers. Additionally, their positions on the grid are optimized to maximize their effect. Extra spins can be obtained during the bonus round, as landing two additional FS symbols adds two spins, while three add four spins to the total.

A second bonus round, Banana Blitz!, is triggered when four FS scatter symbols land simultaneously. This round also grants ten free spins but introduces Sticky Banana symbols, which remain on the grid throughout the feature. Unlike Spreading Bananas, these symbols receive a new multiplier with each spin. The values are drawn from the same multiplier range as in the base game, offering different possibilities on each spin.

An additional mechanic exclusive to the Banana Blitz! round is the Go Bananas symbol. This feature activates when at least one Sticky Banana symbol is present on the grid, immediately generating copies of Sticky Bananas across random positions. The number of copies created depends on a value revealed by the Go Bananas symbol, ranging from three to ten copies per Sticky Banana. These newly placed symbols inherit the multiplier of the original Sticky Banana. If multiple copies land in the same position, their multiplier values are combined. However, copied symbols remain in place for only one spin before being removed from the grid. The Go Bananas symbols also disappear after the spin in which they are activated. Similar to the Bananza! bonus round, additional free spins can be obtained by landing FS scatter symbols, with two awarding two extra spins and three awarding four additional spins.

FRKN Bananas applies specific conditions to the placement of special symbols. Upward Spreading Bananas cannot appear in the first row, while Leftward Spreading Bananas do not land on the first reel. In the Banana Blitz! bonus round, copied Bananas do not land on Sticky Banana symbols, Go Bananas symbols, or FS scatter symbols. These restrictions influence the gameplay by setting boundaries for where key features can activate, affecting strategy and payout potential.

The combination of expanding wild multipliers, static wilds, and symbol duplication introduces layers of complexity that influence the game's payout structure. FRKN Bananas presents mechanics that function within a structured format, incorporating elements designed to shift the outcome of each round based on symbol placement and the activation of special features.
