At the bottom of the screen at the right you will find the Spin button, which begins the game. At the bottom left is a panel that tells you how much is staked on each spin, with handy arrows at the side where the wager can be adjusted up or down.
To the right of this is the Autoplay feature. Click on this to reveal a panel where you can set the game in motion for the desired number of spins and choose various other settings. If you press on the spacebar, you can speed up the game by putting it in turbo mode.
Wild Heroes
There are four heroes in Epic Journey, and each one is an extra-large Wild that will help you win even more rewards. Line up five giant Wilds for a mighty 1000x payout on your total bet. The game also features an entertaining array of random elements to make things more interesting and bring more wins your way.
