Star Clusters Megaclusters
Star Clusters Megaclusters Free Slot Demo Review
Star Clusters Megaclusters is a space-themed slot using the Megaclusters format, another new genre from Big Time Gaming, the creator of Megaways. It was released on June 10, 2020, and you can play it right away as a free demo with no sign-up.
What is Megaclusters?
Winning symbols don’t just disappear. They split into 4 smaller symbols, and the empty spots are filled with new ones, so the chain reaction continues. It starts on a 4×4 grid and gets denser as symbols split, and in free spins up to 256 symbols can fill the screen at once. It’s the new format Big Time Gaming slots put forward alongside Megaways.
How does the gold wild multiplier go up?
Up to 2 gold wilds can be revealed at a time. The multiplier starts at x1 and grows each time a gold wild substitutes for a winning symbol, and in the base game it resets when the spin ends. However, if the spin triggers free spins, the multiplier built up so far carries over into the free spins, so a longer chain right before the trigger works in your favor.
Aren’t free spins triggered by the number of reactions?
That’s right. If 5 or more reactions chain in a single base game spin, you get 2 free spins, and every reaction beyond the fifth adds more spins. Inside free spins, 2 more are added each time the reactions reach a multiple of 10. The key is the chain reaction itself rather than scatters, which is the biggest difference from other games.
What changes if I buy the bonus?
For 50x your bet, you can buy 3 free spins, and the gold wild multiplier starts at x5 instead of x1. You get fewer spins, but starting with a high multiplier makes it a good way to see the Megaclusters chain in a short, intense burst. If reactions hit a multiple of 10 in free spins, more spins are added, so it may not end at 3.
What should I check first in the demo?
RTP is 96.57%, volatility is high (8.5/10), and the max win is 18,000x. Hit frequency is on the low side at 27.61%, so dry spells can happen. In the demo, calmly watch how often 5 or more reactions occur and how high the gold wild multiplier climbs within a single spin.
Pros
- A Megaclusters chain that continues as symbols split
- A gold wild multiplier that carries into free spins
- A relatively affordable bonus buy at 50x
Cons
- Low hit frequency means frequent empty spins
- The screen splits into tiny pieces, making the flow hard to read
