Olympus Slots with Cluster Pays

The patch

A cluster is a patch of one symbol, each copy touching the next across or down. Fortune of Olympus asks for 5 copies or more. Its rules say every symbol pays in blocks of that size, joined horizontally or vertically. A copy that meets the patch only at a corner is left out. Pragmatic Play’s launch news gives clusters of 5 to 15 or more symbols and base game wins of up to 150x. The shape on the grid is the win.

Both cluster games on this site also tumble. A cluster that pays clears away, new symbols drop into the holes, and the next patch can form from what’s left. The rules of Power of Olympus let one symbol count in more than one cluster. Every patch in the chain is paid on your one stake.

The throne room

Fortune of Olympus is Pragmatic Play’s cluster game, set in what its page calls Zeus’s gold-filled throne room. On the intro screen of the demo you’ll see Zeus enthroned in gold beside the grid, while gold coins pile up along the bottom of the screen. Helmets, goblets, rings, gems and blue lightning orbs fill the 49 squares. Its multipliers reach 500x in both the base game and the bonus, and when several hit during one tumble run, their sum pays once the run ends. Pragmatic Play’s description gives Zeus no job beyond the throne.

Now, the free spins are where the multipliers stay. Each one that lands joins a running total, and the total applies to every win for the rest of the round. 100x the stake buys the round with 4 to 7 scatters guaranteed, and 500x buys super free spins where no multiplier lands below 5x. Pragmatic Play prints 96.55% for the base game, both bought rounds and all 4 special bets. The demo labels it medium volatility, and the cap is 10,000x.

The wilds left behind

Power of Olympus from Booming Games adds a step of its own. Every cluster win plants 1 to 3 wilds where its symbols used to be, and some of them carry multipliers. The base game hands out 2x, 3x or 5x, the free spins anything from 2x to 100x, and multipliers inside one cluster add up. 4 to 7 scatters start 10 to 25 free spins, and buying the round costs 82x the stake. Each win sets up the next drop.

On its intro screen Zeus glares down from over the logo, a lightning bolt in his crown. The grid below sits in a gold frame against pink and orange cloud. The 95.60% comes from the data the demo loads, since the screen itself never shows a percentage. The studio publishes no volatility word, and the intro promises a win of more than 8,000x without naming a cap. You won’t find a release date either.

The neighbours

Clusters sit between 2 other ways of paying on this site. Pay anywhere games like Gates of Olympus count copies wherever they land, so a lonely symbol in a far corner still helps you make the 8. In a cluster game that lonely copy does nothing until a neighbour of its own kind arrives. The Rise of Olympus grid slots want straight lines of 3 instead of a patch. Here the only test is touch.

The 2 cluster games differ far more in their figures than in their clusters. How the Reviews Work sets out where each percentage on this site may come from. It’s the figure, not the shape, that tells them apart.
