Cluster Pay occur when 5 or more identical symbols (except Bonus symbols) are connected horizontally or vertically. The win size depends on the number of identical symbols; the winning symbols are removed and the Avalanche feature is activated.
The Exploding Wild symbol can randomly land and explode during the spin or Avalanche feature sequence, or it can be automatically generated and explode in a Cluster Pay area. The Exploding Wild symbol removes all symbols in a 3×3 Multiplier Grid around and under the symbol.
Each cell in the underlying grid will have a multiplier with an initial value of x2. If new Exploding Wild symbols land and explode on top of an existing Multiplier Grid, then the multiplier will double (up to a maximum of x128) on the grid cells that overlap.
The Bonus Game is triggered or retriggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols anywhere in the game area, awarding 10 Free Spins. Multiplier Grids activated in base game reset upon Bonus Game start. The Multiplier Grids in the Bonus Game are sticky and remain active throughout the Bonus Game.
