How It Pays – Cluster Pays / Golden Squares
this slot uses Cluster Pays on a 6×5 grid. Regular symbols land in clusters of 5 or more connected vertically or horizontally to pay. A wild symbol substitutes for all symbols in the paytable but does not pay cash itself.
When a winning cluster forms, Super Cascades remove not just the winning symbols but all symbols in those positions, dropping new symbols from above. During each cascade, all grid positions behind the vanished clusters flip to Golden Squares. When a Rainbow symbol lands, it activates after the final cascade and triggers all Golden Squares to reveal their contents.
Golden Squares reveal one of six special symbol types: Diamond Coins, Gold Coins, Silver Coins, Bronze Coins, Green Clovers, or Gold Clovers. The coin tiers pay multiples of the bet; the clover types apply multipliers to all Coins, Buckets, and Global Buckets on adjacent squares (Green) or the entire grid (Gold). Max win of 15000x can hit in base game or any bonus mode.

| Silver Coins | 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x the bet |
| Bronze Coins | 0.20x, 0.50x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x the bet |

| Gold Clovers | x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x20 multiplier (full grid) |
Bonus Buy Options
this slot offers five bonus buy shortcuts to Free Spins modes. Each buy carries a cost and grants entry to a specific tier.
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus Buy 1 | 5x the bet | Triggers On Thin Ice (10 Free Spins) |
| Bonus Buy 2 | Variable | Triggers mid-tier Free Spins mode |
| Bonus Buy 3 | Variable | Triggers higher-tier Free Spins mode |
| Bonus Buy 4 | Variable | Triggers premium Free Spins mode |
| Bonus Buy 5 | Variable | Triggers Epic mode (natural trigger only) |
The Epic tier remains locked to natural scatter triggers and cannot be purchased directly.
Free Spins / Big Catch Bar
this slot packs three purchasable Free Spins modes, each enhanced by a Big Catch Bar meter. This meter collects during Free Spins and unlocks four upgrades as players progress. Golden Squares remain active and progressive throughout Free Spins, stacking multipliers and coin reveals across the session.
The natural Epic mode – triggered only by landing 3 scatter symbols – activates the entire 6×5 grid as Golden Squares, bypassing the typical meter climb. This mechanic separates high-variance play from the bonus buys’ more predictable entry points.
RTP / Volatility / Bet Range
this slot runs at 96.33% RTP (default). Low volatility is the design choice here – rare for Hacksaw Gaming’s catalog, especially paired with a 15000x ceiling. Bet range spans 0.20 to 50 per spin. Max bet of 50 is solid for mid-rollers but leaves room for higher stakes players to wish for more.
Adjustable RTP is available at operator discretion; check your casino’s settings before play. Hit frequency leans toward base-game wins via cascades and Golden Squares, reducing long dry spells.
Technical Features
Autoplay, Turbo, and Super Turbo modes are available. These streamline session rhythm without altering payout mechanics or RTP.
