Pay anywhere is different from cluster pays

How it works

With a pay-anywhere system, a sufficient number of one symbol can pay without an adjacent chain. This does not mean every small group wins: the threshold and paytable still apply. Sweet Bonanza and cluster-based Sugar Rush therefore evaluate otherwise similar-looking boards differently.

What to check

Count the qualifying symbols in the exact version. Do not add together different symbol types to reach a threshold unless its rules explicitly allow that.

Compare the rules

Viking Runecraft 1000

The multiplier ladder progresses through Heimdall, Freya and Thor. In free spins, the collection mechanism differs from an ordinary tumble, making the feature state important.

Fury of Anubis

Consecutive tumbles raise a global multiplier. It resets for the next paid spin; the free-spin feature instead begins with a multiplier determined by the triggering scatter count.

Sweet Bonanza 2500

Eight matching symbols can pay without touching. Multiplier values are combined at the end of the tumble sequence; the 2500 edition should not be read as the original Sweet Bonanza.

Before you start

The rules inside the exact game version take priority. The same title can have different configurations.
