The Great Heist: cascades, a multiplier wheel and golden frames
The Great Heist is a slot by The Hood on a 5×4 grid with the Pay Ways mechanic, cascading reels, a Wheel of Multipliers and golden-framed symbols that become Wilds. Free Spins come from Scatters, and the feature can also be bought in the in-game store.
Free Spins and the central reel
Three or more Scatters trigger Free Spins: 12 for three, 14 for four, 16 for five, and every further Scatter adds 2. During the feature the golden frames and the wheel both stay active, every symbol landing on the central reel arrives in a golden frame, and the wheel's progress accumulates across the whole round.
The Wheel of Multipliers
At the start of every spin in the regular game the multiplier stands at x1. It is applied to the current win before the cascade; if at least one pay way has formed in the spin, the multiplier rises by 1 after the win is paid and all cascades have finished.
Golden frames, Wilds and cascades
Any standard symbol except the Scatter can land with a golden frame on reels 2, 3 and 4. When a pay way is formed with such a symbol, it turns into a Wild and can join later combinations; the Wild substitutes for any standard symbol a combination needs and appears only in place of a golden-framed symbol after a win. Each win removes its symbols, new ones drop into the gaps, and the cascade goes on as long as new combinations form.

RTP is left out of the table since it depends on the version the studio supplies. More titles by the studio are on the The Hood page, and the providers list covers the rest.
Pay Ways and the bank vault
A win needs at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, counted from the leftmost reel and paid from left to right; several winning symbols on one reel multiply the win accordingly, and all wins of a spin are added together. The reels stand in a vault with an open safe, banknotes and coins scattered on the floor, and the symbols include dynamite tied to a pocket watch, bundles of cash, a man in a fedora, a blonde woman in a red beret and the letters A, K, Q and J.
