All bonus symbols that land during this feature are collected in a prize pot, and on the final spin you return to the reels with a mega bonus symbol which has the total value of symbols collected. The 5th reel spins again and you can pocket the total value if you land a collect symbol. The feature can be re-triggered with no limits.
Verdict
Heart of Rio has a good variety of features, but the bigger payouts only happen in the bonus round. Even then you need to land the collect symbol to achieve the top prize which can be a bit frustrating.
