Cluster Pays
Symbol wins induce a charged state for that specific symbol type, marked by a distinctive glow effect. The charged symbol types are also showcased in the "charge bar" display above the grid. These charged symbols maintain their heightened state until the conclusion of the ongoing round. The Epic Gem symbol may descend during cascades and activates once the grid settles, following the cessation of wins or cascades. Upon activation, all currently charged symbols transform into the highest paying charged symbol. The Epic Gem, accounting for 4 symbols, ensures a minimum win of 5 symbols as long as there is at least one charged symbol on the grid. The absorbed symbols and the Epic Gem are then removed, prompting another cascade. Notably, symbols do not enter a charged state during the Gem Hoarder game mode.
Trigger the Gem Hoarder game mode by landing 3 or more Gronk’s Head scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. This feature mirrors the base game mechanics but offers an increased likelihood of landing Epic Gems.
Additionally, landing 3 or more Gem Bag scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game activates another feature, granting 5 free spins. This feature introduces a global multiplier that progressively grows with the number of symbols in each winning cluster. Any winning cluster, including the special X-Gem symbol, is multiplied by the global multiplier. In case more than one X-Gem symbol contributes to the same winning cluster, the global multiplier is applied to the win for each X-Gem. To keep the excitement alive, landing 3 or more Gem Bag symbols during this feature refills the life bar. Get ready for an epic adventure with Gronk and the gems!
Troll Hunters includes a wild symbol (the golden rune). The wild symbol substitutes for any other symbol to help comprise winning combinations. Winning combinations are removed after collected and remaining symbols drop down to possibly form new winning combinations.
The wild symbol appears at the middle symbol when a winning combination of 3 symbols is removed from the grid. A win multiplier is increased at each new drop. If all symbols are removed from the grid, a special full clear win is awarded.

About Cluster Pays Games
Cluster Pays is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a variation of the traditional payline system, where players need to match symbols in a specific pattern to win. Instead, in Cluster Pays games, winning combinations are formed by matching a certain number of symbols that are adjacent to each other in a cluster, regardless of their position on the reels.
The Cluster Pays system typically requires players to match at least 9 symbols in a cluster, but the specific number can vary depending on the game. The more symbols that are matched in a cluster, the higher the payout will be. Some games also have special symbols, such as wilds or multipliers, that can be included in the cluster to increase the payout.
This game mechanic can add an extra layer of excitement to the game by introducing a new way to form winning combinations. It also allows for more flexibility in terms of where the symbols can appear on the reels, which can make it easier for players to hit winning clusters. Some popular slot games that feature Cluster Pays include "Reactoonz" by Play'n GO, "Reel Rush" by NetEnt, "Cluster Tumble" by Relax Gaming, and "Jammin' Jars" by Push Gaming.
