Contact

Contact is a unique cascade cluster slot on a 5×7 grid where winning symbols don’t disappear but stack upward. It was released on March 28, 2019, and you can try it right away with the free demo, no sign-up needed.

How do you win in Contact?

Symbols drop onto a 5×7 grid, and when 5 or more of the same symbol connect horizontally or vertically, it’s a cluster win. Each symbol has its own value, so the round win is calculated by multiplying the number of winning symbols by that symbol’s value. It’s a grid title from Play’n GO slots with a distinct personality right down to the way wins are calculated. The mysterious mood, as if exchanging signals with aliens, is unique too.

Winning symbols don’t disappear?

Yes, it’s the opposite of a regular cascade. The winning cluster stays, and the non-winning symbols are removed. Then the winning symbols drop down and lock in place, and new symbols fall into the empty cells. The new symbols attach to the existing cluster to make it bigger or form new clusters, and this continues until there are no new wins. Thanks to this structure, you’ll often see clusters grow larger and larger.

How do you get the row multiplier?

In the base game, filling the 2nd, 4th and 6th rows with winning symbols adds x2, x3 and x4 multipliers to the total win respectively. Even if you fill several rows, only the highest multiplier applies. Because winning symbols stack upward from the bottom, it’s fun to watch the rows fill up. Each time a row fills, it feels like the multiplier tier is rising.

How do the Bonus round and the Super Bonus round differ?

When a winning symbol reaches the top row, the bonus round opens, and filling the entire grid with winning symbols opens the Super Bonus round. Both rounds can only trigger in the base game. Stacking the grid all the way up is essentially Contact’s ultimate goal. The moment you enter the bonus round, it feels worth having filled the grid to the end. The Super Bonus is harder to reach, but that makes it all the more special.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.55% and the max win is 1,517x your bet. There’s no bonus buy, so the bonus round only opens when you build up the grid yourself. There’s no official volatility figure, so in the demo, keep track of how many rows the winning symbols often fill to get a feel for the flow. Also watch how high the row multipliers often climb.
