Beef Up the Bonus is a new online slot game brought to you by High Limit Studios in collaboration with Games Global (Microgaming). Set in the rugged expanse of the Wild West, this game features a classic 5x3 reel layout with 20 fixed paylines and promises a wild ride through the desert.

Below are the most prominent features of the Beef up the Bonus pokie.

The Link & Win Feature in Beef Up the Bonus activates when you land six or more Link & Win symbols anywhere on the reels or via the Wheel Feature. Upon activation, all Link & Win symbols become sticky, remaining in place as the other reel positions spin. Players are initially given three respins, which reset to three whenever a new Link & Win symbol lands.

Level 1: Each Link & Win symbol can award a cash prize of up to 50x the bet.
Level 2: Activated by collecting 20 Beef Up symbols, this level adds multipliers to initially blank positions; one random position may hold a multiplier of 50x, 60x, or 70x, while other positions have multipliers of 2x, 3x, and 5x.
Level 3: Activated by collecting 40 Beef Up symbols, this level boosts the available multipliers, with the maximum multiplier on a random position potentially reaching 1,030x. Other positions may see multipliers increase up to 145x.

Link & Win symbols can appear as regular Coin symbols on any reel or as Coin Wild symbols, exclusive to Free Spins. Beef Up symbols may also randomly land on regular pay symbols during the base game. Each time a Beef Up symbol appears, it is collected by the Link & Win Upgrade Trail, which comprises three levels. Players who collect Beef Up symbols progress through these levels, unlocking enhanced features.

In Beef Up the Bonus, landing three or more Scatters triggers 10 Free Spins. Wins during Free Spins are added to your regular wins, and landing more Scatters grants three extra spins each time. Wild Stacked Coin Symbols are also added to the reels during this feature.

The Wheel Feature in Beef Up the Bonus is activated by landing Wheel symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game. Once triggered, you spin a wheel that could award you one of several prizes. Possible rewards include Free Spins, entry into the Link & Win round, or cash prizes ranging from 5x to a massive 5,000x your bet.
