(g) The Mega Fire Blaze bonus game shall be a random number generator-based game which determines payout odds for qualifying winning wagers. The following apply:

(1) The Mega Fire Blaze bonus game shall consist of a grid comprised of 36 cells divided into 6 segments comprised of 6 cells.

(2) Each six-cell segment shall be designated with a special segment multiplier or a jackpot.

(3) The Mega Fire Blaze bonus game shall begin by applying an equal number of random multipliers as there were Fire Numbers in the base game. For example, if there were five Fire Numbers in the base game, then five cells shall be filled with random multipliers.

(4) The random number generator shall then determine which cells shall be filled with a random multiplier.

(5) The following shall apply when all six cells of a segment are filled with random multipliers:
(i) If the segment has a special segment multiplier, all of the random multipliers shall be increased by the special segment multiplier. For example, if the special segment multiplier is a 2, the cell with a 3 random multiplier would become a 6.

(ii) If the segment has a jackpot, a random number generator shall determine whether the jackpot is a Mini (20-), Minor (100-), Major (500-) or Grand (2,000-). The jackpot value shall not increase the values of the segment cells.

(6) At the conclusion of the Mega Fire Blaze bonus game, the random multipliers shall be totaled, including any winning jackpot values, to determine the payout for the winning base game wager.
