Gold Framed Symbols — not a separate pay symbol
In Pinata Wins, a Gold Frame is a special state applied to an ordinary symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. The frame displays a multiplier between ×2 and ×100. When a framed symbol participates in a win, it can become a Wild with that multiplier on the following cascade.
Base game behaviour
During the main game, the frame multiplier applies within the relevant win or cascade sequence. Collapsing Reels mean one spin can produce multiple frame transformations if wins keep chaining.
Free Spins — stronger frames
In the bonus, frame mechanics intensify: multipliers you collect are summed and stay above the reels until Free Spins end. Later wins in the same bonus can multiply by that running total — this is the core path toward large hits, separate from the per-frame ×100 maximum.
×100 frame ≠ 5,000× game max
PG Soft documents ×100 as the top value for a single Gold Frame multiplier. The slot’s advertised maximum win remains 5,000× total stake. Never swap these numbers in reviews or comparison tables.
