Cluster wins: which symbols must touch?

How it works

A cluster game pays for a qualifying connected group rather than a fixed route across reels. The rules determine the minimum group size and whether diagonal contact counts. Five identical symbols scattered around a grid are not necessarily one cluster. Some games remove additional symbols after a win, not only the winning group.

What to check

Check the connection rule, minimum count and removal rule separately. The catalogue links show games whose providers describe a cluster mechanism.

Compare the rules

Chunky Carlo’s Money Mania

Lighters feed three meters that modify symbols in different ways. Six coins lead to BIG HEIST; time bombs affect nearby coins rather than acting as ordinary matching symbols.

Candy Rush

The multiplier occupies an area that can grow from 2 × 2 to the full grid. It doubles during the sequence but resets for a new base-game spin.

Sugar Rush Super Scatter

Winning positions build multipliers, while Super Scatter adds a separate award mechanism. Do not confuse a symbol multiplier with the total payout ceiling of the game.
