When a Static Archive game shows a free-spin round, it is a batch of extra spins triggered by scatters. The batch uses the same reels and the same virtual credits. It ends, and the ordinary spin button comes back. Cats and Diamonds can show it. So can a locked title you opened after registering. The batch does not get larger because the tile sits later on the shelf, and it does not get larger because your level is higher.
This note does not reprint the paytable. How many scatters the title wants, and how many free spins it starts, are printed inside that game. Copying the figures here would stale them and would look like a cash rule. The credits never leave the browser.
What starts it
Scatters are counted wherever they stop, not only on a payline. Enough of them start the batch. A wild does not substitute for the scatter. Regular pictures do not slowly turn into scatters because you have been spinning. The theme — a vault, a feast, a grove — changes the picture on the symbol. It does not change the job.
When the batch is running, the cabin is mostly watching. Autoplay and the free-spin batch are different things. Autoplay is you queuing ordinary spins. The batch is the game playing a short run and then stopping. You do not have to keep a finger on spin for the batch to finish. You also do not have to stay for a second batch. One is a complete event.
Do not read it as a debt
A quiet stretch of spins is not storing up a bonus. The game does not owe you the scatter. If you are spinning because the bonus “should” appear, close the frame. The responsible page is the right tab for that feeling, even though no cash is involved. A social lobby can still train the same wait. The close control is there so the wait can end without hunting for a browser back button inside the game.
Seeing the batch once does not make the next base spin due. Seeing it never does not mean the title is broken, and it does not mean a Hot tag on a different tile is the place the batch moved to. Tags are editorial. They are not a heat map of scatters.
XP during the round
If you are signed in, opening a game can record play XP, up to the daily cap of 100 from plays. The free-spin batch is not a second grant. It is part of the same game you already opened. The daily claim, 50 XP plus a streak add-on on a twenty-hour clock, does not fire because a scatter landed. That claim is a button on the account. Mixing the two is how a vault picture starts to look like a payout.
The meter inside the game may move during the batch. That movement is virtual credits in the game’s own storage. Closing the frame keeps the meter on the device. It does not transfer the result onto your level beyond the ordinary play tick, and it does not create a balance the desk can pay.
