• Wild (Neo) drops out at any reels and forms combinations by general rules. Moreover, he replaces other elements, except the Scatters, when necessary.
• Wild (a black cat) appears in stacks at fifth reel and plays part of another joker. If it takes whole last reel, it is duplicated to the first column and triggers Deja Vu Shuffle.
• Free Games (blue and red pills) is imaged ta the first, third and fifth reels. Three Scatters trigger free spins.

Potential payoffs by all possible combinations are listed on the pay table.
