RTP and Symbols
The RTP of Wild Clusters is a “belter” at 96.71%. In terms of volatility, it is similar to Riches of Medusa, minus the 10,000x jackpot on the stake. The hit frequency of 1.68 is surprisingly high as well.
Once you start spinning whether for cash or fun, you can expect a win on every 1.68 spins. The high-value symbols are gems of different colors. The premium symbol is the pink gem.
When 15 or more matching symbols land on the grid, you’ll win $7,500. The low-value card suits offer wins up to $100 for 15 or more matching symbols. To receive a payout, you need at least 5 matching symbols.
Bonus Rounds
Wild Cluster is a busy slot with bonus rounds to the hilt. BGaming did a spectacular job with each and threw in a Buy Option with four features for good measure.
Cluster Pays
The Cluster Pays engine triggers when 5 or more matching symbols appear. They explode and leave empty spaces, allowing new symbols to drop in for potential chain wins.
Highlighted Symbols
Each spin highlights one low-paying symbol. If a cluster win lands with that symbol, the game replaces part of the cluster with two random Wilds.
Wild Blast
Collect 125 symbols and the game drops a giant 3×3 Wild onto the grid. It boosts connected clusters with a random multiplier of up to 100x.
Bonus Buy Option
- Wild Boost x3 – Starts with three horizontal Wilds in the center.
- Wild Boost x5 – Drops five Wilds in a cross formation.
- Wild Blast – Triggers random Galaxy features and finishes with a Wild Blast.
- Drop Dead Spin – Every spin fills the grid with premium symbols. If no cluster win lands, a Wild Blast triggers.
Mega Symbols
When four identical symbols appear in a rectangle, they merge into a Mega Symbol with a 2x multiplier. Link multiple Mega Symbols in a cluster to boost the total multiplier.
Lucky Wilds
For spins that don’t start with a win, the game randomly adds 4 to 8 Wilds to create potential combinations.
Galaxy Features
Fill the Progress Meter with 25 winning symbols and you’ll receive one of the following features:
- Gravity Wilds – Adds 3–6 Wilds to the grid and removes nearby symbols.
- Starlight Upgrade – Transforms low-paying symbols into high-paying ones.
- Galaxy Cross – Drops a Wild in the center and creates diagonal lines of matching symbols.
- Cosmic Sweep – Clears low-paying symbols from the grid.
Tips and Strategy
Test the slot for at least 100 spins before betting real money. BGaming offers $100,000 in demo credits on its website. Use Auto Play with average bets between 2.5% and 5% of your bankroll.
If you want to skip the grind, the Drop Dead Spin feature is worth considering. It’s pricey, but based on my tests, it’s effective. My biggest win was $22,000, and it works well with bonuses too.
The high hit frequency and strong payout potential make it easier to clear wagering requirements. The bonus buy option is what “saves” this game. You can test each feature in demo mode to see what works best for your strategy.
Conclusion
Wild Cluster by BGaming is a highly engaging slot with cluster pays, multipliers, and feature buys. The high hit frequency keeps the budget ticking, and the cluster wins pop often.
Features like Drop Dead Spin and Galaxy Cross enhance win potential. While the buy feature is expensive, it’s one of the best I’ve tested. I got the 1x multiplier often, but the 5x hit led to a big $22,000 win
