The Rising Moon Free Spin Bonus is triggered by landing three or more 'Ancient Singing Coyote' scatter symbols specifically on the second, third, and fourth reels, awarding 5 free spins initially, with additional scatter hits during the bonus able to retrigger more spins up to a stated maximum of 255 total free spins.
Coyote Moon is a currently-tracked, real casino-floor machine per URComped's community-sourced Slot Machine Finder: its dedicated page shows 79 community tags, with named real-world sightings including Park MGM in Las Vegas and Peppermill Reno.
The Stacked Wilds feature allows the wild (the game's coyote/moon logo symbol) to stack up to four symbols high on a single reel, and this intensifies specifically during the Rising Moon Bonus free spins, increasing the chance of full wild reels.
