Flock Me

Flock Me Slot Review

Behind the razor-wire and rusted perches of NetEnt’s latest avian lockup, a squad of feathered thugs seems oddly content with life on the inside. You’d expect birds to simply take wing and vanish into the sky, yet these misfits strut through the cell blocks like they run the joint. Maybe they’re chained down by a ball and chain… or maybe running the prison from within is just too tempting to give up.

Watching over the chaos is the imposing Eagle Warden, a sharp-eyed overseer whose shadow alone keeps the cell blocks in order. His presence looms large across this cluster pays setup, a constant reminder that no bird steps out of line without him noticing.

NetEnt’s take on avian incarceration fits neatly into Evolution Gaming’s growing fascination with prison settings, especially when viewed alongside Nolimit City’s recent Bangkok Hilton. Clearly, doing time has become something of a creative obsession within the family.

NetEnt rounds out the experience with a 6×7 Cluster Pays setup, medium to high volatility and a top win of 8,594x your bet. The slot’s peak RTP sits at 96.00 percent, giving players a clear sense of what the game can offer at its best.

Base Game & Features

Flock Me is a 6-reel, 7-row video slot with a Cluster Pays mechanic. Paytable symbols confirm winning combinations when 5-18 identical symbols land horizontally or vertically on the grid.

The game holds 8 paytable symbols, 4 high-paying & 4 low-paying, offering a mixture of Bird Prisoners, Soap, Lighters, Toilet Roll, and the Ball & Chain. After a winning cluster has been confirmed on the grid, a fixed payout between 0.10x and 200x your bet is awarded.

Additionally, Wilds & Multiplier Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters, other Wilds, Flock Me, & Cleaning symbols. Wild symbols pay the highest possible outcome within a cluster according to the paytable.

Lastly, after all winning clusters have been evaluated, the Avalanche Feature removes them from play, allowing new symbols to fill all empty cell positions. This continues until no new winning clusters occur within the same spin.

Multiplier Wilds

Multiplier Wilds are available within the base game & Free Spins mode. Each time a Multiplier Wild is part of a winning cluster, it will randomly move to a new position, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally on the grid, after which it will increase its current Multiplier by +x1, triggering the Avalanche Feature.

If a Multiplier Wild moves to a position which is covered by a 2×2 colossal symbol, it will automatically transform into a 2×2 Multiplier Wild. Alternatively, if a 2×2 Multiplier Wild moves to a 1×1 grid position, it will transition into a 1×1 symbol.

Multiplier Wilds can travel to any grid position, so long as it’s not holding a Scatter, Cross Wild, Flock Me, or Toilet symbol. If an adjacent position is covered by any of these symbols, the Multiplier Wild will move to a random position.

Multiplier Wilds persist on the grid until the end of a spin. If more than 1 Multiplier Wild is part of the same winning cluster, their values will add together before being applied to the win.

Flock Me Feature

Each time a Flock Me symbol hits, the Flock Me Feature is triggered, but only after all Avalanche events have concluded and no Toilet symbols are present.

Once active, all Multiplier Wilds in view will reposition to adjacent positions next to the Flock Me symbol, awarding a single Wild symbol to each empty cell position. In addition, an extra Multiplier Wild is added to the reels, adjacent to the Flock Me symbol, before it transforms into a Wild of its own.

If a Multiplier Wild is already adjacent to the triggering Flock Me symbol, it will remain in position, only no extra Wild symbol is added in its place.

Cleaning Feature

Landing a Toilet symbol on the grid triggers the Cleaning Feature, activating once all Avalanche sequences have concluded. Once active, the toilet symbol removes all paytable symbols except Wild, Multiplier Wild, Cross Wild, Scatter, & Flock Me symbols, thus triggering a new Avalanche event.

Cross Wild

The Cross Wild Feature triggers prior to the Avalanche Feature, when at least 1 Cross Wild symbol is part of a winning cluster. Once active, it transforms all 1×1 or 2×2 colossal symbols covering vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines into random high or low-paying symbols of the same type.

If multiple Cross Wild symbols trigger this feature, a single Wild symbol is positioned where each transformation intersects. In play are 3 types of Cross Wilds:

• Vertical Wild: Transforms all symbols on the same reel & row to where the Vertical Wild is positioned.
• Diagonal Wild: Transforms all symbols within 2 diagonal lines that intersect to where the Diagonal Wild is placed.
• Omni-Directional Wild: When the Vertical & Diagonal Cross Wilds are adjacent to each other, they transform into an Omni-Directional Wild, which transforms all symbols on the same reel, row, & two diagonal lines into the same high or low-paying symbol.

If the Cross Wild, Cleaning, & Flock Me symbols appear simultaneously in the same spin, they each will activate in the order of: Cross Wild, Cleaning, & Flock Me.

Flock Me: Free Spins

The Free Spins mode is instantly awarded when 3 Scatters appear anywhere in the base game, triggering 5 Free Spins. The Free Spins mode begins as soon as all Cleaning, Flock Me, & Avalanche features are complete, if available.

Once active, all Multiplier Wilds in view are carried over to Free Spins, remaining persistent on the grid throughout each spin, along with any new Multiplier Wilds that land during this time. Furthermore, an additional +2 Free Spins are awarded for 3 Scatters that appear in the same spin.

Our Honest Verdict

Flock Me immediately grabs attention with its squad of tough birds, inmates of a maximum security prison reserved for the most heinous offenders. These feathered felons must have pooped on cars en masse, showing little regard for the law or the paintwork of their victims’ vehicles.

The design alone is enough to pique curiosity, and it pairs well with a 6×7 Cluster Pays setup, a well-established mechanic known for creating large clusters and visually satisfying win sequences.

The game is packed with features that keep each spin engaging. Multiplier Wilds, Cross Wilds, the Cleaning feature, Flock Me, and Free Spins all work together to create multiple layers of potential winning combinations.

Elevate Features give players additional choice if they wish to increase their chances or trigger features directly, if you can buy them. With a maximum win of 8,594 times the bet, there is real incentive to explore its mechanics and features fully.

All in all, Flock Me is a feature rich and playful slot that combines a highly original theme with classic cluster pays mechanics and plenty of ways for players to engage.
