Mystery stars and multiplier wilds
Seven or more matching symbols must connect horizontally or vertically on the 7 x 7 grid to create a cluster win. Winning symbols clear, new icons fall into the open positions, and the cascade continues while each replacement board forms another cluster.
Mystery stars reveal the same randomly selected paying symbol across every star position on the board. Multiplier Wilds substitute for ordinary symbols and can apply values up to x5 when they contribute to a base-game cluster win.
Three Scatters award 10 free spins. Mystery stars that land during the feature become sticky for the remaining spins, while multiplier Wild values can reach x10, allowing persistent reveal positions and enhanced substitutes to work on later replacement boards.
Sticky mystery stars across cascades
- Clusters: Seven connected symbols can create a paying group.
- Cascades: Winning icons clear and refill within one paid spin.
- Mystery Star: All star positions reveal one shared paying symbol.
- Wild Values: Base multiplier Wild values can reach x5.
- Sticky Stars: Feature Mystery positions remain through later free spins.
- Bonus Buy: Direct entry skips base cascades and concentrates cost.
Persistent reveals and multiplier concentration
Base results depend on cluster size and whether cascades create fresh connected groups. Mystery stars can improve symbol density by revealing one common icon, but the selected symbol may still appear in positions that do not connect into a seven-symbol cluster.
Free spins add persistence because every landed Mystery position remains available for later reveals. Multiplier Wilds can then reach x10, although their value applies only when the Wild belongs to a qualifying cluster rather than paying for an isolated position.
The x10,000 ceiling limits clusters, repeated cascades, Mystery transformations and Wild multipliers. High volatility and direct entry can concentrate spending around the sticky-star round, while a crowded board can still fail when revealed symbols remain separated from one another.
Player fit and limitations
- May suit: players tracking persistent positions on a large cluster grid.
- May suit: shared Mystery reveals that reshape several cells together.
- May not: fixed paylines with clearly traced left-to-right routes.
- May not: simple free spins without sticky board progression.
More Mystery positions do not guarantee a connected cluster.

Persistent grid-state alternatives
Both alternatives preserve position-based value across feature spins.
