How to play The Library Overdue

Slip past the velvet rope into a library that closed hours ago, where the books left on the tables have started glowing and every shelf hums with something older than print. You're hunting two symbols the room has marked as special: when either one lands on three or more reels at once, those reels stretch into towering stacks worth up to ten copies each. Land three scatter books to trigger Stack the Shelves Spins or four to unlock Overdue Spins, where the columns grow until the grid is nothing but tall paying walls. The Library Overdue is a medium-high volatility, Win Ways slot from Hacksaw Gaming. It uses the Stackways engine, where a Stackways symbol can fill its reel with a chosen symbol, setting a stack height between 2 and 10. A full sweep of stacked premium symbols can return 10,000x your stake. Here is how you play.

Pick a stake and spin the 5x4 grid.
Watch for matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.
Land a Stackways symbol on any reel to fill it with a chosen paying symbol, increasing the number of matching symbols on that reel.
Hit 3 FS scatters to start 10 Stack the Shelves Spins, or 4 FS scatters to start 10 Overdue Spins.
In free spins, two paying symbols become special. When one lands on 3 or more reels, those reels expand into stacks of 2 to 10 symbols.
In Overdue Spins, Stackways Booster symbols increase the minimum stack height on all reels, and this boost does not reset after special symbol expansions.
