The cluster pays mechanic is an alternative to traditional paylines, awarding prizes for clusters of identical symbols. A symbol is part of a cluster if it is horizontally or vertically connected to the cluster of matching symbols.
Substitution symbols are essentially wilds; they can appear on any reel and substitute for any regular pay symbol except for scatters. Substitution symbols appear as a wooden box with a question mark printed on it. When they land, they transform into a neighbouring symbol that offers the highest win potential in a cluster. Substitution symbols can appear as 1x1 tiki masks.
A cluster win can randomly trigger the Sticky Wins Respins feature. During this feature, winning symbols are locked in place while the rest respin. If the winning cluster increases in size as a result of the respin, the new matching symbols lock in place, and another respin occurs. Tiki symbols can appear as 1x1 symbols in Sticky Win Respins.
Free spins scatter symbols look like postage stamps and occupy 2x reel positions. Landing 3 or more triggers the free spins bonus, awarding spins as follows:
During the bonus, retriggers are possible with additional scatters as follows:
The free spins bonus has a Symbol Drop mechanic, whereby low-paying symbols are removed, increasing the chance of a bigger win on the remaining spins.
If you don’t hit a win on the last of your free spins, extra free spins occur until you hit a final win.
