Set in the middle of a stadium full of spotlights and cheering crowds is the game's 5-reel, 3-row, 20 payline game grid. It sits upon the wrestling ring next to a list of prizes winnable from the Link&Win game while lining the bottom of the reels is the HyperSpins respin buttons.

It's a busy scene, and the voiceover commentary builds on the WWE atmosphere, but could it have been even more overblown? Perhaps, yet there are loads of video clips at various points as well, so the game is well steeped in WWE-ness.

Up to 4 features are on hand in WWE Legends Link & Win. These are HyperSpins, the Link&Win, free spins, and a bonus buy. HyperSpins is a common Microgaming family feature, showing up in a handful of games by now.

With it, players can choose to respin any individual reel for a chance to complete wins or get scatters to trigger either free spins or the Link&Win. It is available in the base game, has no limit to the number of times it can be used, and each respin is offered at a calculated cost. Also, only wins involving the respun reels result in a payout.

Landing 3 scatters in view trigger free spins and a 1x the bet payout - 5 spins are awarded where reels 2, 3, and 4 merge into a single reel displaying big symbols, which count as 9 individual symbols (except for big scatters, they count as 1). This feature can be extended by landing 3 scatters, awarding +3 additional free spins.

The Link&Win is triggered when 6 or more coin symbols land in the base game. All other regular symbols are removed from the reels, and 3 spins are awarded. If new coin symbols land, they lock in place, and the counter resets. Coins display a cash prize, the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot, or one of the following:

Collector – adds the values of other coins to its own.
Multiplier – increases the win multiplied by +1. This multiplier is applied to the coins in view when the feature ends.
Payer – adds its value to the other coins.
The round ends when spins run out, or all positions are filled. If the screen is filled, then the Champion Jackpot is awarded. The jackpots are worth 50, 100, 1,000, or 5,000x the bet for the Mini, Minor, Major, or Champion.

Where available, players can buy the Link&Win feature for the cost of 60x the stake. This lands at least 6 Coin symbols on the next spin.
