Cluster-pay slots explained

Look for the connection rule

Some games connect symbols horizontally, vertically or across adjacent reels. The title help shows the exact cluster condition.

Check what happens after a win

Cascading symbols, multipliers or expanding clusters may change later wins, but only when included in that game’s rules.

Trace one winning cluster

Use the game help to see which adjacent cells form a cluster and how many matching symbols qualify.

Check whether a cascade removes all symbols in a winning group, whether new symbols fall in, and how repeated wins are counted.

This makes the displayed animation easier to interpret without confusing a cluster with a payline.

What counts as a cluster

A cluster-pay title usually requires a group of matching symbols to touch horizontally or vertically. The paytable defines the minimum cluster size and whether diagonal connections count.

Do not apply paylines logic unless the title explicitly uses both systems.

Follow cascades and symbol removal

After a cluster wins, symbols may disappear and new ones may fall into the grid.

Check whether the title can award several wins in one paid spin and how multipliers or feature symbols carry forward. Each cascade remains part of the original wager unless the rules say otherwise.
