In this game, there are no predefined lines or patterns. Instead, winning occurs when six or more identical symbols form a cluster, meaning they're adjacent to each other. Once a player lands a cluster, all instances of that symbol (even those not in the cluster) remain, while losing symbols vanish from the reels. If another cluster appears with different symbols, it's treated as losing symbols. The winning symbols then descend, and new random symbols fill the vacant positions.
This cycle continues until no new winning symbols appear, at which point the win is awarded. If there are two or more different winning clusters initially, the lower-paying winning symbols transform into the highest-paying ones, regardless of cluster sizes. For clusters with symbols of equal value (card suits), their hierarchy is Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds.
Completing a row with winning symbols grants the player a win multiplier. These multipliers apply to each Dropdown win separately and reset at the end of each spin (except in Free Spin mode). Finding three Scatter symbols in a single spin (which can be spread across multiple Dropdowns) grants seven Free Spins. Free spins begin with a x1 multiplier in the top left corner. All achieved multipliers are combined and applied to each Dropdown win throughout the entire Free Spin session. Additionally, for each Free Spin session, one random Pirate is chosen as the high-paying symbol (replacing all other high-paying symbols). A 3x3 high-paying symbol can land, guaranteeing a win or enhancing the current Dropdown win. The Cannon Blast occurs on a losing spin in the base game or during Free Spins, removing all low-paying symbols from the reels and initiating a new dropdown. The Tsunami activates when there are at least six winning symbols on the reels and the player experiences a losing Dropdown. At this point, all losing symbols are removed, the winning symbols are leveled to increase the potential multiplier, and new symbols drop down.
In this game, there are no traditional paylines or ways to win. Instead, victory is claimed when 6 or more identical symbols form a cluster, meaning they are adjacent to each other on the reels. Once a cluster is formed, all instances of that symbol remain while the rest disappear, allowing for new symbols to cascade into place. This process continues until no new winning clusters appear, at which point the winnings are awarded.
If multiple winning clusters are present, the lower-paying symbols are transformed into the highest-paying ones, with priority given to the symbol observed earliest from the leftmost reel.
Achieving a row filled with winning symbols grants a win multiplier, which is applied to each subsequent cascade. These multipliers are reset at the end of each spin, except during the Multiplier Madness Free Spin mode.
Collecting 3 map symbols in a single spin triggers 7 Free Spins. Any additional map symbols that land on the reels award an extra 10 times the bet each.
Players can choose from 3 different Free Spin Modes: High Seas: Removes all low-paying symbols (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) from the reels. Multiplier Madness: Summons all achieved multipliers to the top of the reels, applying them to each cascade throughout the Free Spin session. The Multiplier counter begins at 1. Win Fall: Adds 2 winning symbols to the reels at the start of each cascade. To trigger the next cascade, at least one new cluster symbol must appear in the normal drop-down.
