The Free Spins feature can be triggered in two ways:
By reaching a Free Games symbol through a Connect & Collect chain.
By landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, awarding 7, 10, or 15 free spins respectively.
During Free Spins, the Connect & Collect feature remains active and functions the same as in the base game. Additional Free Games symbols reached through triggering 3,4,5 scatter symbols or a connection chain award extra spins equal to the number collected.
