For thousands of years and amongst many of the world's greatest civilizations, totems have served to facilitate communication, represent family identity, and record history. These totems serve as visual documentation of a society's cultural roots and heritage.

Totems
Totems are typically found in the ancestral villages of indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. Each figure that's carved on the totem pole represents a character or event from one of the tribe's stories or legends. These images can include supernatural beings, humans, animals or a combination.
Additions to each family or tribe's pole are limited to people who have a "right" to display it on that pole. Often, oral accounts of each representation are passed down from one generation to the next, using the totems as visual guides to the account.
Traditionally, a new totem's unveiling would be accompanied by a large feast. The size and complexity of the pole represented the wealth and status of the clan that commissioned it. Each crest and figure seen on the pole was meant to identify the family or clan's lineage and social standing within the community.
Totems were created to honor an esteemed member of the tribe or a high-ranking member of the family or to welcome arriving honored guests. Some totems contained the remains of a deceased person.
Buddhist and Hindu temples often feature vahanas, which are similar to totems but differ in that they are also sacred. Other Asian temples display animal figures that are seen as powerful guardians that represent philosophical or spiritual concepts – i.e. elephants that symbolize strength, wisdom and royalty or the phoenix which represents harmony, rebirth and renewal.

- If your Bonus Row displays Special Scatters as part of a combination of 3 or more together with Regular Scatters, or if 3 Special Scatters emerge on the Bonus Row, they will trigger free spins in which the Oversized symbol will spin on reels 2, 3, and 4.
