“Stay caterpillars.”
I was saying this to two golden insects in a flower garden.
Neither had done anything wrong.
Both were Wild.
Both were exactly where I wanted them.
And if the next collapse went properly, I wanted them to become cocoons.
Then butterflies.
Then I wanted those butterflies involved in another win so they could interfere with a multiplier that was already considerably larger than anything a sensible garden required.
There were still several Free Spins left.
The fourth-round multiplier was waiting at x15.
The two Caterpillars sat on the middle reels.
I had reached the stage of Butterfly Blossom where immediate metamorphosis felt impatient.
This required explanation.
About twenty minutes earlier, I had started at €1.00 in a considerably calmer garden.
Five reels.
Three rows.
Twenty lines.
Roses, orchids and other flowers covered a pond-side world under purple hanging blossoms while butterflies floated around the edges looking far too innocent for what their larvae were capable of doing.
The first paid spins were mostly floral housekeeping.
A little flower win.
Collapse.
Nothing.
Another connection.
Collapse.
Nothing.
The multipliers above the reels waited in sequence.
x1.
x2.
x3.
x5.
A successful round moved the next collapse along the row.
Fail to connect and the spin ended.
The flowers were essentially being asked to destroy themselves repeatedly in order to make the number underneath them more interesting.
Then a Caterpillar Wild appeared on reel three.
Small.
Golden.
Very much alive.
It joined a flower win at x1.
€1.20.
The winning flowers disappeared.
The Caterpillar did not.
Instead it became a Cocoon Wild for the next round.
That got my attention.
Fresh symbols fell.
The Cocoon helped another connection at x2.
€2.80.
Those flowers vanished.
The cocoon stayed.
Now it became a Butterfly Wild.
The garden had just completed most of an insect life cycle because two groups of flowers happened to line up.
Next collapse.
The Butterfly joined another win at x3.
€4.50.
Then something underneath the reels changed.
The rightmost multiplier had been x5.
The Butterfly added +5.
x10.
The Butterfly disappeared for the next round, having apparently reached adulthood, contributed once and immediately rewritten the financial structure of the flowerbed.
Fresh symbols dropped.
One more winning connection.
x10.
€12.00.
Then the cascade stopped.
€20.50 from the whole spin.
That was when Butterfly Blossom stopped being a pretty PG Soft garden and became a succession dispute.
The flowers were temporary.
The Caterpillar had continuity.
A winning flower exploded.
A winning Caterpillar inherited the next collapse.
A winning Cocoon came back with wings.
A winning Butterfly modified the future.
Every botanical symbol on the screen was basically mulch for insect development.
After that, I watched Caterpillar Wilds differently.
One appeared on another spin but never joined a win.
Nothing developed.
Another helped the first round, became a Cocoon, then failed to connect after the collapse.
The transformation ended there.
A cocoon sitting among roses without the correct winning line was suddenly more disappointing than the actual payout.
That seemed unhealthy.
The session itself became quieter.
€1.60 came from one flower connection.
Later €0.80.
A three-round collapse managed €3.00 altogether but never produced a Caterpillar.
Several spins simply took the euro and rearranged the garden.
The flowers remained gorgeous.
The butterflies drifting around the scenery remained serene.
Financially, I was watching horticulture consume coins.
Free Spin symbols began appearing.
One.
Then two together.
No third.
Another spin put one on the first reel and another farther across.
Still two.
They needed three anywhere to open eight Free Spins.
Unlike Garuda Gems, where repeated pairs had become an entire personal grievance, Butterfly Blossom did not drag this out forever.
Three eventually landed.
The flower wreaths lit.
Eight Free Spins.
No purchase.
No shortcut.
Just the garden finally deciding it had enough butterflies to hold the ceremony properly.
The feature changed the multiplier row.
The old x1, x2, x3 and x5 rhythm was gone.
Now the collapses stepped through x3, x6, x9 and x15.
The garden had tripled the opening argument before a single flower moved.
First Free Spin.
Nothing.
Perfect.
Eight Free Spins arrived carrying stronger multipliers and the first thing they produced was botanical silence.
Second spin.
Flowers connected at x3.
€3.60.
Collapse.
x6.
Another connection.
€4.80.
Then nothing.
€8.40.
Useful.
Still fairly civilized.
The third Free Spin produced the first proper metamorphosis.
Caterpillar Wild on reel three.
Flower win at x3.
€5.40.
The Caterpillar survived as a Cocoon.
Collapse.
The Cocoon joined the next win at x6.
€7.20.
Flowers disappeared.
Cocoon became Butterfly.
Next round.
x9.
The Butterfly helped again.
€10.80.
That win completed the life cycle and activated the part I had been waiting for.
The rightmost multiplier was x15.
Butterfly added +5.
x20.
It disappeared for the next round.
Symbols dropped.
Another flower connection formed.
x20.
€32.00.
Then the garden finally ran out of cooperative vegetation.
€55.40 from one Free Spin.
A caterpillar had spent three consecutive winning rounds becoming increasingly aerodynamic and left behind a twenty-times multiplier.
The actual flowers had been destroyed at every stage.
Apparently being a blossom in Butterfly Blossom was an extremely temporary appointment.
Free Spin four brought two Free Spin symbols.
Not three.
It did not need three anymore.
Inside the feature, two were enough.
Three additional Free Spins were added.
The current spin paid nothing.
That hardly mattered.
The original eight had just become eleven total.
The butterflies had extended opening hours.
The fifth spin gave me three successful rounds.
€4.50 at x3.
€6.00 at x6.
€9.00 at x9.
Then nothing at the x15 stage.
€19.50.
That was the first time I felt genuine disappointment at seeing x15 arrive unused.
Before the feature, x15 would have looked magnificent.
Now I had already seen x20.
The garden had damaged my standards remarkably quickly.
Spin six did nothing.
No Caterpillar.
No useful flower arrangement.
No new Free Spin symbols.
Just three rows of exceptionally decorative refusal.
Then came the scene where we started.
Two Caterpillar Wilds landed during the next Free Spin.
One on reel two.
One on reel four.
Both joined the opening flower win.
x3.
€6.00.
The flowers disappeared.
Both Caterpillars remained.
Two Cocoons.
I leaned closer.
The next symbols fell.
Another connection reached through both Cocoon Wilds.
x6.
€9.00.
Collapse.
Both cocoons transformed.
Two Butterfly Wilds now sat among the flowers.
This was no longer metamorphosis.
This was synchronized insect royalty.
Fresh symbols dropped.
A new line connected through both Butterflies.
x9.
€13.50.
Both butterflies had participated.
The rightmost multiplier began at x15.
The first Butterfly added +5.
x20.
The second added another +5.
x25.
Both disappeared for the next collapse.
That was why I had wanted them to remain Caterpillars.
Not because I had developed opposition to butterflies.
Because two larvae surviving the correct sequence of floral destruction were eventually capable of turning the last multiplier into x25.
The next drop arrived.
Roses connected across the reels.
x25.
€50.00.
They vanished.
And because the fourth-round multiplier remained the rightmost multiplier for anything beyond it, another collapse followed at x25.
This time a smaller flower connection.
€15.00.
Then the chain ended.
That Free Spin alone had paid €93.50.
The garden had begun with two Caterpillars and concluded by using twenty-five-times multiplication on roses.
Somewhere in the middle, two cocoons had briefly become the most important objects on the screen.
The next Free Spin produced nothing.
Sensibly.
After synchronized x25 butterfly mathematics, even the garden needed to sit down.
The following spin opened with a single x3 win worth €6.00.
Collapse.
Nothing.
Another feature spin gave €4.50 at x3 and €6.00 at x6.
€10.50.
No Caterpillar life cycle.
No butterfly intervention.
Just flowers doing honest collapse work and leaving before anyone could alter the monarchy.
One Free Spin remained.
No giant setup.
No twin Wilds.
No dramatic Scatter tease.
Flowers connected at x3 for €3.00.
Collapse.
Another group landed at x6.
€6.00.
Those disappeared.
A final connection arrived at x9.
€9.00.
Then the next drop failed.
€18.00.
The Free Spins ended.
Across the eleven spins, the total reached €211.30.
The long paid-spin stretch before the trigger had taken its share, but €211.30 was comfortably enough to leave the session well ahead.
The garden returned to its normal multipliers.
x1.
x2.
x3.
x5.
Everything looked peaceful again.
Roses.
Orchids.
Water.
Hanging purple flowers.
Butterflies drifting around as though none of them had recently pushed a multiplier from x15 to x25.
I left the Spin button alone.
The queen had been crowned.
I was not financing another caterpillar.
I played Joker Royal Coins and discovered new lows in high volatility.
