This feature will activate when you get 3 or more Locked Up symbols (picture of Pablo Escobar) on the same row. When launched, it will open a new scene, the Escobar symbols are moved in a group and will have a win value of 1-10 times of your stake. In the 3 first spins only Locked Up and Golden symbols will appear, and if 3 or more symbols form a cluster, you are a winner.
