Cluster Pays
Reels are encircled by a ‘Treasure Trail’ consisting of 15 ‘meter bars’. These bars are initially uncharged, but each time a Clam Wild is removed from the play area because of a cluster win, 1 bar of the Treasure Trail meter is charged. The Reef Raider -- a crazy pirate crustacean searching for treasure -- moves along the treasure trail as its meter bars get charged.
Features lie at each of the four points along the Treasure Trail and are activated when the Reef Raider arrives at that point along the track. Features include the Anchor Drop Feature, Random Wilds Feature, Mystery Chest Feature, and the Canon Blast Feature. 15 or more charged Treasure Trail meter bars triggers Free Spins.

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.
