The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays

The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays by Netent is a cluster-based video slot played on a 6-reel by 5-row grid where wins are formed by landing nine or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically. The theme is serene and spiritual, set in a paradise of cherry blossoms, misty valleys, and a mystical Fox Monk who contends with a dragon spirit in the backdrop. The high-value symbols are “Guru” creatures (such as the red cat) and animal motifs, while lower-value icons include nature-inspired images like butterflies, dragonflies, koi fish, and blossoms. Guru symbols can appear stacked (covering two vertical positions) to help with forming large clusters. There is a Substitution symbol represented by a green question mark; it cannot substitute for Free Spins scatter symbols and transforms into adjacent symbols if doing so creates the highest possible win. The Sticky Re-Spins feature is triggered when two non-winning clusters of the same symbol (each consisting of between 5 and 8 symbols) appear: those clusters stay locked while the rest of the grid respins until no new matching symbols land. The Random Substitutions feature can activate in the base game when at least two clusters of the same symbol, each with at least four symbols, appear: it adds one or more Substitution symbols adjacent to those clusters to help form a win. The Free Spins round is triggered by landing three or more Free Spins scatter symbols (which cover two positions) giving 5, 6, 7, or 8 free spins depending on how many scatters appear. During free spins the Substitution symbols are dynamically added and removed each spin; the Fox Monk ensures a minimum number of them remain, while the dragon spirit removes some. If the total win from Free Spins is less than ten times the original bet, an Extra Spin is awarded, with substitution symbols remaining on the reels.
