Azticons Chaos Clusters Slot Review

Azticons Chaos Clusters Pays video slot review – released 24 May 2020 by the IGA 2022 ‘A lot Provider’ of the year award-winning brand!. (Images courtesy of quickspin.com)

The latest video slot released by the Quickspin video slot developer, the recent International Gaming Awards 2022 Slot Provider of the Year award winner, is an Aztec Mexican jungle-themed cluster pays slot title – Azticons Chaos Clusters™

This is a 7-reel slot with a max win of up 25,000x your spin bet and cluster combos that can give you a return of between 0.2x and 2,500x your spin bet. If you are looking for a symbol count per reel, there isn’t a specific number. Each reel produces between 5 and 9 symbols and that number is random at every spin. I have to say, this is the first time I have seen random symbols per reel on a cluster wins slot.

Each shape-shifting reel spin takes you through the lands of the ruler of Aztecs, Tenoch, set deep inside a central Mexico rainforest. Within the mountainous jungle is the Twin Temple where the great Aztec treasures are hidden in the form of 11 regular symbols that create cluster wins and a wild symbol that helps you link up more wins to land more treasure.

Every cluster formed from the majestic jewels and Aztec masked symbols will trigger cascading reels that could link up more clusters filling your coffers with more precious Aztec treasure. Your adventure into this holy world reveals even more treasures with multipliers should you land Tenoch’s cluster symbol opening the treasure chambers into a free spin bonus.

Quickspin’s most recent hit slot title releases so far include High Street Heist, Warp Wreckers Power Glyph, Spinions Xmas Party, Blue Wizard Fire Blaze (in conjunction with Playtech, and Book of Duat. Also, Sakura Fortune II recently came out bringing us the first sequel to one of the brand’s most popular slot titles Sakura Fortune. You see the full Sakura Fortune II slot review here for more info. As for future releases, we are waiting for Flip Royale (14 June), Slugger Time (12 July), and Stick Bandits Trail of Blood (9 August).

Slot Highlights: The theoretical RTP for Azticons Chaos Clusters™ is 96% at UKGC, MGA, SGA, and Curacao (CEG) licenced online casinos is 96% with a medium variance gameplay tag. It is a 7-reel slot, and each reel can host 5 to 9 symbols. There is a wild symbol, scatters to trigger free spins, a free spins bonus game with multipliers, and cascading reels that activate after every cluster win.

Azticons Chaos Clusters™ Gameplay & Features

Azticons Chaos Clusters™ is a 7-reel slot that pays out for clusters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-11, 12-14, 15-19, and 20+. To help you form these clusters and dig out cluster wins, there are 11 regular symbols and a wild symbol. You’ll also see a scatter symbol, which is there to trigger the free spins bonus.

After each spin, the number of symbols that land on each spin is random. Each reel can produce between 5 and 9 symbols. This is very similar to Megaways slots, which roll in 2 and 7 symbols on each reel per spin allowing for a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 42 symbols per spin. Therefore, on Quickspin’s Azticons Chaos Clusters™, the minimum number of symbols per spin across all 7 reels is (7 x 5) 30 symbols and the maximum is (7 x 9) 63 symbols.

In the base gameplay, you will mostly collect cluster wins, and link Chaos Clusters which only need to connect to form a cluster win, but it is the free spins bonus that you’ll need to hang around because this is where the slot’s big wins and super wins come from thanks to a combination of multipliers and cascading reels working in tandem.

Check out all the features here:

  • Wild Symbol: The golden oldie feature of the lion’s share of slot titles out there. This symbol subs a wildcard for any of the 10 regular symbols, but never the scatter symbol.
  • Tumbling Reels: This is the ‘cascading reels’ feature. However, Quickspin slots refer to this feature as ‘Avalanche’ or ‘Tumbling Reels’. Every cluster combination of 5+ connected will pay your spin bet multiplier, then all symbols burst to leave a space on the reels for new symbols to drop into. If a new cluster appears, those symbols will burst. This avalanche of symbols will stop only when no more new cluster wins hit the reels.
  • Chaos Clusters: The Chaos cluster symbols are slightly larger than a normal symbol. They take up more space on the reels, and they can connect to form clusters in any shape just by touching one other on adjacent reels.
  • Turning Twin: After every Avalanche, if there are symbols aligned horizontally
  • Bonus Buy: To trigger the free spins bonus without searching for 4 scatters you can choose the ‘Bonus Buy’ option. This will cost 150x the ‘Total Bet’ you set for your spins.

Free Spins Bonus with Progressive Multipliers (Scatter Trigger)

Cluster combinations on Azticons Chaos Clusters™ pay out reasonably often and will help to keep your bankroll afloat while you wait for the free spins bonus. Once you land 4 scatters, 7 free spins are awarded. The scatter symbol does not need to form a cluster or land on adjacent positions. It simply needs to be visible 4 times on the grid.

Your 7 free spins will use all the same features as the base game but with added bonus multipliers. Every new cluster win that lands will trigger a progressive multiplier to increase by +1. For example, 1 cluster win x1 multiplier, 2 cluster wins x2 multipliers, 3 cluster wins x3 multipliers, and so forth. Even extra wins from the tumbling reels feature will count towards the multiplier increase. Also, the multipliers do not reset at any time in the free spins game.

Re-triggers + 25,000x Max Win: The free spins bonus also comes with re-triggers. 4 or more scatters will award an additional 7 free spins. With the multiplier continuously increasing and re-triggers, you can reach up to the max win of 25,000x your spin bet during the free spins bonus.

Symbols & Payouts

Clusters can form when symbols are adjacent to one another anywhere on the grid. L-shapes, S-shapes, Z-shapes, squares, rectangles, vertical or horizontal lines, and zig zags when Chaos Clusters link. The minimum number of symbols in a cluster needed is 5 and there is no maximum, but the payout does not payout when 20 or more symbols are in a cluster.

Rounding Up Azticons Chaos Clusters™ Quickspin Slot Release

The Azticons Chaos Clusters™ video slot brings the first cluster pays title I have seen with shape-shifting reels. When I say shape-shifting, I use this to describe reels that produce a random number of symbols for each spin.

You’ll need to work your way through the base game initially to build up wins. As you can see from the pay table, there are some big win opportunities, and you have the wild, tumbling reels, as well as the Turning Twin and Chaos Clusters lending a helping hand. If you are down on your luck, the free spins bonus is sure to turn your session around. Or if you are winning in the base game, then the free spins bonus will add that extra kick to elevate your bankroll thanks to progressive multipliers, re-triggers, and all-inclusive of all the base game features during the free spins bonus.
