CLUSTER SLOTS
Cluster slots became a novelty around 2014 when studios like Play’n GO introduced us to this new game model through Gemix. Pay lines were a dominating way of evaluating wins, so seeing a mechanism that didn’t utilize a left-to-right logic was highly unusual. Cluster pays usually comes with a larger, squarish grid in a 5×5, 6×6, 7×7, or 8×8 size (sometimes even more) and a cascading (also called “reaction”) feature.
It’s all about landing matching symbols that connect vertically and horizontally. Such a set is called a cluster. In most games, you need at least 5 to form a win, and the more symbols connect, the higher its value. Usually, there’s also a cap for the maximum size of the cluster, which fluctuates in the 15-20 range. Any sequences larger than this will still pay as the maximum-sized set. Thanks to the cascading feature, spins are often extended to multiple reactions that accumulate wins.
