Prepare to be star struck with another instalment from the renowned Australian developer Big Time Gaming. Big Time Gaming are certainly one of the leaders in the industry, and the brains behind the hugely popular Megaways.\u00a0<\/span>They\u2019re the developer behind some of your favourite games like Bonanza, Lil Devil<\/a>, Danger High Voltage<\/a>, Donuts and many more.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis time they\u2019re back with another inventive game, Star Clusters Megaclusters Slot<\/em>. This game introduces a new angle on their revolutionary Megaways mechanic.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Seeing Stars<\/span><\/h2>\n

Star Clusters looks a little bit standard when you first load up the game, nothing too special here at first glance. The visuals aren\u2019t exactly unlike anything we\u2019ve seen before. However, what Big Time Gaming lack in visual aesthetics they more than make up with in gameplay, and they know that they\u2019ve built something interesting enough to keep you captivated on this alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

The background starts off yellow with a sort of cosmic glow, and will change colour dependant on the symbols you win with in the game. The sounds and music are great and something you\u2019ll definitely appreciate on this Star-Spangled journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got a combination of gemstones on a 4×4 grid which works on a Cluster Pays system, so no paylines, and wins are achieved by landing a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols. There are 9 symbols in total with 4 being low paying symbols, 3 higher paying symbols and 2 different kinds of wilds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Base Game<\/span><\/h2>\n

The game starts off as a 4×4 grid with a total of 16 symbols on screen, and winning combinations are a cluster of 5 or more. This is where the game starts to get interesting, and a little different to what we\u2019re used to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each winning symbol will be replaced with 4 smaller symbols and will re-spin giving you a chance for additional reactions, each successful reaction with any of the smaller symbols will employ a more familiar Cascading Reel mechanic that we usually see in Megaways games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smaller symbols will fall in to replace the gaps left behind and any additional hits with the original larger symbols will also split and react into 4 smaller ones. Cascading Reels are a welcome feature which will give you the opportunity to cash in on additional wins, and they\u2019re necessary, because in this game the free spins are earned by hitting consecutive wins. <\/span><\/p>\n

The game will return to an original 4×4 set up next spin when no more winning reactions occur. <\/span>You\u2019ll notice this game employs two types of Wilds, one of which is a regular wild, which will serve as a substitute for all symbols except the Gold Wild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gold Wild substitutes for all symbols and up to two can occur per spin. Gold wilds will also increase your multiplier by an increment of one and any multipliers you manage to obtain will increment before the wins are paid. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little bit disappointing that hitting more than one Gold Wild at once will only increase the multiplier by one, but easy to forgive when used as part of a win, getting you one step closer to the bonus round. <\/span>The Gold Wild Multiplier starts at x1 and will be carried into the bonus round with you if you manage to get there, but will reset at the end of each spin if no winning combinations are present.<\/span><\/p>\n
