The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays

Netent's The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays is a video slot featuring a 6-reel by 5-row grid where players create wins by landing clusters of nine or more matching symbols that are connected either horizontally or vertically. The game is set in a tranquil paradise adorned with cherry blossoms, misty valleys, and a mystical Fox Monk who faces off against a dragon spirit in the background. High-value symbols include various “Guru” creatures, like the red cat, along with animal motifs, while lower-value symbols consist of nature-themed images such as butterflies, dragonflies, koi fish, and blossoms. Stacked Guru symbols can occupy two vertical positions, aiding in the formation of larger clusters. A green question mark represents the Substitution symbol, which cannot replace Free Spins scatter symbols; it transforms into adjacent symbols to create the highest possible win. When two non-winning clusters of the same symbol, each containing between 5 and 8 symbols, appear, the Sticky Re-Spins feature activates, locking those clusters in place while the rest of the grid respins. In the base game, the Random Substitutions feature may trigger when at least two clusters of the same symbol, each with a minimum of four symbols, are present, adding one or more Substitution symbols next to those clusters to enhance winning potential. The Free Spins round begins when three or more Free Spins scatter symbols are landed, which occupy two positions, awarding 5, 6, 7, or 8 free spins based on the number of scatters. During the free spins, Substitution symbols are dynamically added and removed, with the Fox Monk ensuring a minimum number remain while the dragon spirit may eliminate some. If the total win from Free Spins is less than ten times the original bet, an Extra Spin is granted, with substitution symbols still active on the reels.
