1. (a) Money Mountain is a bonus game that uses an outer wheel, an inner set of reels, a counter indicating number of spins remaining and a jackpot progress meter.

2. (b) The outer wheel shall:

   1. (1) Consist of 54 segments.
   2. (2) Consist of multipliers ranging from 2x to 500x.
   3. (3) Randomly assign multipliers to the 54 segments.
3. (c) The inner set of reels shall be arranged in a three-by-three arrangement and shall display which, if any, of the multipliers from the outer wheel are being added to the final payout.
4. (d) The Money Mountain bonus game shall begin with the jackpot for the round being randomly set, the multipliers on the outer wheel being randomly assigned, and three spins on the remaining spin counter.
5. (e) The player shall begin play by pressing the button to spin the outer wheel. The outer wheel shall come to stop on a random multiplier. If applicable, the Mystery multiplier authorized under § 694.3 (relating to Mystery multiplier) shall be multiplied by the outer wheel multiplier.

6. (f) Upon the outer wheel coming to rest on a random multiplier, the inner set of reels shall spin, with each reel representing an independent outcome to award or not award the outer wheel multiplier.

   1. (1) If a reel does not award the outer wheel multiplier, it is eligible to be spun with the next spin of the outer wheel, if any spins remain.

   2. (2) If the reel does award the outer wheel multiplier:

      1. (i) The wheel locks in the outer wheel multiplier and shall not spin for any additional outer wheel spins.
      2. (ii) The outer wheel multiplier is added to the overall Money Mountain Jackpot award progress meter.
      3. (iii) The number of spins remaining for the outer wheel resets to three.
7. (g) The player shall repeat the steps outlined under subsections (e) and (f) until there are no additional spins on the spin counter.
8. (h) The payout odds shall be determined by adding together the multipliers that were locked in under subsection (f)(2).
9. (i) If all nine reels have locked in a multiplier under subsection (f)(2), the player shall be awarded the jackpot, regardless of the total of the nine locked in multipliers.
10. (j) The collective payout for Money Mountain may exceed the 500x multiplier stated in subsection (b)(2) but shall not exceed 5,000 to 1 provided under § 694.4(d) (relating to payout odds).
