繁體中文Cluster Pays Slots Explained
Cluster pays is a slot mechanic where wins come from groups of touching symbols rather than paylines. This guide explains it. Details are in each game.
- Cluster pays slots award wins when enough identical symbols touch each other in a group, rather than matching along a payline.
- Each game sets a minimum cluster size, often around five or more matching symbols, with larger clusters paying more.
- Often yes.
How cluster pays works
Instead of matching symbols along a line, you win when enough identical symbols touch each other in a group (a cluster), usually horizontally or vertically. Compare with paylines vs ways.
Minimum cluster size
Each game sets a minimum cluster size to pay.
Cascades
Cluster slots often use cascading reels — winning clusters disappear and new symbols drop in, which can form more clusters in a chain.
A different feel
Cluster pays plays differently from line slots and suits grid-style games. Return information and volatility are still in the paytable — see how slots work.
