Jewels of Prosperity rules and sticky-Wild guide

Jewels of Prosperity is PG Soft catalogue ID 88. Its checked English game-information document is version 1.0 r915b, updated 8 July 2025. The game uses six reels, four rows and 4,096 ways, then changes one randomly chosen ordinary symbol into sticky Wilds during free spins.

PG Soft states 96.73% RTP, medium volatility and an advertised maximum of 50,000×. These are properties of the cited supplier build. They are not confirmation that the title, feature or same settings are accessible through an operator in New Zealand.

The return model allocates 69.16 percentage points to the main game and 27.57 to free spins. The respective hit rates are 34.17% and 0.48%. Those percentages describe long-run modelling; they cannot tell a player when a trigger or sticky conversion will arrive.

Reading 4,096 ways correctly

A ways game does not ask the player to select fixed paylines. Matching symbols form a win when they appear on consecutive reels beginning with reel one, subject to the loaded paytable. Multiple matching positions on a reel create multiple routes, which is how a six-by-four field reaches 4,096 possible ways.

Count reel coverage before counting visible copies. Four identical symbols stacked on reel three do not pay by themselves when reels one and two do not continue the same combination. Conversely, more than one copy on a qualifying reel can multiply the number of ways without changing the symbol length.

Wild substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but not Scatter. The document restricts regular Wild appearances to reels two through five. That restriction is separate from the later sticky transformation, even though both can place Wilds in the middle of the grid.

Seven spins, regardless of trigger count

Three, four, five or six Scatters anywhere trigger the Free Spins feature with seven spins. More trigger symbols do not increase that initial award in r915b. This is an unusual point worth checking because many games associate additional Scatters with more starting spins.

At feature start, the game randomly selects one ordinary symbol. Wild and Scatter cannot be selected. The chosen identity remains the special symbol for that feature. A screenshot taken before the first free spin should show which symbol has been selected, providing a useful reference for later conversions.

If the live client gives a different starting count or changes the chosen symbol mid-feature, save the Help page and version. Do not assume the official PDF is wrong or that the client is wrong until the build identifiers have been compared.

When a special symbol becomes sticky

During free spins, every selected special symbol appearing on reels two, three, four or five transforms into a sticky Wild before wins are paid. The resulting Wild remains in that position until the feature ends. Positions on reels one and six are outside the documented conversion zone.

The sequence is important. First the special symbol lands, then qualifying middle-reel copies transform, then the result is evaluated. A converted position can therefore contribute as Wild in the same free spin. It should not be described as a Wild that arrived from the initial symbol distribution.

Sticky means the Wild holds its cell for subsequent free spins, not that the entire reel is locked. Other positions continue to receive new symbols. Over time, several middle cells may accumulate sticky Wilds, but the rules do not promise that a particular number will appear.

An audit table can use four columns: spin number, new special-symbol positions, all sticky positions after conversion and settled award. This avoids double-counting a Wild that was created earlier and merely remained on screen.

The +1 Free Spin symbol

Every +1 Free Spin symbol appearing during the feature adds one spin. Treat this as a change to the remaining-spin counter, not as another Scatter trigger. If two +1 symbols land on one free spin, document both and compare the counter before and after settlement.

Because sticky Wilds remain while the spin supply can grow, the final feature may last longer than seven rounds. “Seven free spins” is the starting allocation, not a maximum. The supplier document does not publish an average extension count, so one should not be inferred from a short sample.

The clearest replay record includes the special-symbol identity, sticky map and remaining-spin counter together. A cropped screenshot showing only an award may conceal whether the +1 symbol was already included in the displayed total.

Worked sticky-grid example

Imagine the selected symbol is a jade fan. On the first free spin, fans land on reels two and five. Both convert before evaluation, creating two sticky Wilds. A fan on reel six stays a fan because reel six lies outside the conversion zone.

On the next spin, the two Wilds remain. Another fan appears on reel four and becomes a third sticky Wild. If a +1 symbol is also present, the remaining-spin count increases separately. The existing Wilds should not be reported as three fresh conversions; only the reel-four position is new.

For a ways win, trace matching symbols from reel one across consecutive reels, allowing the sticky cells to substitute. Count combinations after the conversion has occurred. This order mirrors the official wording and makes the record reproducible.

Maximum, exposure and stake references

PG Soft advertises a 50,000× maximum. The file also records 5,952× as maximum exposure observed over one billion simulated spins. The latter is not another cap, and neither number states how likely a personal session is to reach a particular multiple.

Reference bet sizes are 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 across ten levels. The default EUR range is €0.25 to €20. Currency and limits are deployment settings, so these figures cannot be relabelled as NZD or attributed to a New Zealand operator.

The combination of 4,096 ways and sticky positions can make an award look complicated. Use the actual paytable and total stake shown before the spin. Multiplying a symbol value without accounting for the live bet level can produce a plausible but incorrect reconstruction.

Mobile legibility and history

The supplier lists iOS, Android, HTML5, macOS and Windows and a portrait reference of 1080×2340. On a phone, all six reels must remain visible, and the selected special symbol should be distinguishable from its sticky Wild state. An icon, border or animation is more useful than colour alone.

After a disconnect, consult game history before continuing. Match the round ID, total bet, chosen special symbol, conversion positions and final award. A resumed animation may omit the moment a symbol transformed even when the server record has already settled the outcome.

Demo and New Zealand access

An official PG Soft catalogue preview may exist. The sponsored links in this guide are not presented as a Jewels of Prosperity demo. The supplier file verifies mechanics and reference settings only; it does not verify a local operator relationship.

To establish availability, check the authenticated lobby and territorial terms, then open Help inside that exact session. If r915b is not displayed, record the alternative build and its RTP. Version-aware reporting is stronger than treating one global product sheet as proof of every deployment.

Who may like the design

This format may suit players who prefer ways evaluation, persistent board state and a feature that builds visually across several spins. It may be less suitable for someone who wants fixed paylines, an immediate single-screen result or a feature with no persistent symbols.

Medium volatility is a supplier category, not a promise of smooth returns. Sticky Wilds can create anticipation without creating a debt owed by the next spin. Set limits before play and avoid extending a session merely because the board looks more developed.

Evidence checklist

1. Match catalogue ID 88 and version 1.0 r915b.

How to verify the version you can actually open

A provider page proves that a title exists and describes the supplier's intended rules. It does not prove that a casino accepts players in New Zealand, that the title is enabled for a particular account, or that the highest published RTP is the version in the lobby. Treat availability, operator eligibility and product configuration as three separate checks.

Start with identity, then configuration

Open the game only through the authenticated casino lobby. The information or help panel should identify PG Soft, the exact title and the active mathematical return. Compare the reel or grid layout, paylines or cluster rules, named features and symbol behaviour with the official product material. Similar artwork or a matching title is not enough when the help file is missing or inconsistent.

When the supplier publishes several RTP values, report all of them as configurations. Do not assume the highest option is deployed. RTP is a theoretical long-run measure across a very large number of rounds; it is not a refund rate for one player and cannot predict the next result. Volatility is different: it describes how unevenly results are distributed on the provider's scale.

Read stake controls as money, not interface decoration

Provider sheets often quote a reference range in euros. That range does not establish New Zealand-dollar support or the limits in a specific account. Before a paid round, identify the total amount that will leave the balance. If the interface separates denomination, coins and lines, verify the combined total. If Extra Bet is active, calculate its full cost before pressing spin.

Feature-buy prices are multiples of the current bet, not promised returns. A 100x purchase at a $1 stake costs $100; at a $2 stake it costs $200. Availability can vary by market and some mathematical configurations may not support the control. If the live help does not explain the price, delivered feature and active RTP, leave the option unused.

Keep simulation figures in their proper scope

A game sheet may publish a maximum result observed in a large simulation. That is not automatically the contractual maximum payout and never describes a likely session. Preserve the provider's wording, sample size and configuration. Check the live rules for a binding cap and the operator terms for any separate payout limit. Do not turn an extreme result into a promotional headline.

Audit a disputed round

If an animation freezes or a connection drops, do not repeat the wager immediately. Reopen the game through the authenticated lobby and inspect round history. Record the time, total stake, balance movement and round identifier. The result can be settled by the gaming system even when the device never displays the final animation. Send evidence through verified operator support; never disclose a password, recovery phrase or one-time code.

Read the paytable as a calculation document

The paytable should explain what creates a win, which symbols substitute, where special symbols can land and how multiple awards combine. For line games, confirm direction and active paylines. For cluster games, confirm adjacency, minimum group size and the order of collection. For respins, identify what remains locked, what resets the counter and what ends the feature. A graphic effect can illustrate those rules but cannot replace them.

Separate addition from multiplication. Several prize values may be added before a multiplier applies, while reel-specific multipliers can sometimes multiply together only when each reel participates in the same win. Reconstruct one low-stake result from game history. If the arithmetic cannot be matched to the help file, stop and ask the operator rather than guessing.

Do not confuse hit frequency with a profitable round

Provider sheets can publish hit frequency or category probabilities. A hit simply means a round returned a qualifying amount; it can be smaller than the stake. “Big”, “Mega” or “Epic” thresholds are provider reporting categories, not promises. They are useful for comparing mathematical versions only when definitions and samples are the same.

Random outcomes do not become due after a long gap. A feature that appeared repeatedly in a demo or marketing clip has no obligation to repeat in a funded session. Previous rounds do not create a debt from the next random result.

Confirm market and device behaviour independently

A title can exist in the supplier catalogue while an operator disables it for a territory, currency, device or bonus. Language localisation is not evidence of legal availability. Confirm the operator's identity, accepted countries and current lobby separately from the provider review.

On mobile, verify that balance, total bet, feature state and help remain visible without overlap. On desktop, check that browser zoom does not hide a purchase control or change the apparent denomination. Mathematical configuration should not change merely because the screen changes; if the help shows another RTP, treat it as a different deployment and record it.

Keep a compact evidence record

For any fact used in a review, save the title, provider, official URL, document date when available, access date and exact territorial scope. For a live session, add the operator domain, Game ID, RTP, currency and a non-sensitive screenshot of the help panel. This makes later corrections possible when a supplier updates a sheet or an operator changes configuration.

Missing information should remain missing. Do not estimate an RTP from results, convert a euro reference range into an operator's NZD limit, or treat another casino's configuration as evidence. A transparent “not confirmed” is more useful than a precise-looking number without the correct source.

Use limits that survive the feature design

Collection meters, expanding grids, sticky symbols and near misses can make a session feel unfinished. Unless the rules explicitly preserve progress, the visible state has no value after the round or feature ends. Set a money limit and time limit before launch, count feature buys immediately, and stop at the limit even when a meter appears close to an upgrade.

No random game is an income plan. Do not borrow, use essential funds or raise the stake to recover a loss. If play stops feeling recreational, use timeout, deposit-limit or self-exclusion tools and consult the site's responsible gambling guide.
