00:00We love the classic fruit slots, but it's normal to tire of the same old thing day in
00:04and day out.
00:06The unprecedented expansion of the online slot market kick-started the efforts to reinvent
00:11the wheel and create more engaging games.
00:13In this video, we introduce innovative slot features and mechanics designed to provide
00:18more winning opportunities, generate truly massive prizes, and make spinning the reels
00:23so much more fun.
00:25Cascading Reels
00:26Also called Tumbling, Collapsing, and Avalanche, the Cascading Reels debuted in 2011 in Net
00:32and Slot, Gonzo's Quest.
00:35After a win, symbols that are part of the winning combination disappear from the screen to be
00:39replaced by new icons that can help complete more lucky combos.
00:44The process continues until no more wins are formed.
00:47Basically, it's all about getting more bang for your buck.
00:50You make one bet, but with a little help from Lady Luck, you can enjoy the fruits of several
00:54spins.
00:55Among a great many universal favorites with this feature are Reacttoons by Play'n Go,
01:01Sweet Bonanza by Pragmatic Play, Sugar Pop by BetSoft, and Tahiti Gold by Elk Studios, to
01:07name just a few.
01:09Cluster Pays
01:10The Cluster Pays mechanic changed the way players can win in a slot game.
01:15Instead of traditional pay lines, you need to form clusters of matching symbols.
01:19The bigger the group, the more impressive the prize.
01:22The roster of Cluster games is pretty extensive, including Astro Legends from Foxium, Mahjong
01:2988 by Play'n Go, Golden Glip by Quickspin, and many other titles.
01:34Even though the concept has been known since the early 2000s, borrowed from Tetris and Candy
01:39Crush Saga,
01:40Aloha Cluster Pays, launched in 2016, is the first game with this feature.
01:45Mega Clusters
01:46In 2020, Big Time Gaming took the Cluster Pays concept to the next level, introducing the
01:53Mega Clusters mechanic.
01:54Whenever you land a win, each of the winning symbols will split into four smaller ones,
01:59creating the potential for massive wins.
02:01The feature debuted in Sparkling Star Clusters, where during the Free Spins mode, the expanded
02:068x8 play field can fit as many as 256 icons for really epic rewards.
02:13Mega Waze
02:14Arguably the world's most popular innovative mechanic, BTG's Mega Waze doesn't need a special
02:20introduction.
02:21The launch of Dragonborn showcased a revolutionary reel engine, able to generate up to 117,649
02:29win in a single spin.
02:31Since then, a great many software providers have licensed this sophisticated system from
02:35the Australian company, which in 2021 was acquired by Evolution.
02:39Today, players are spoiled for choice when it comes to Mega Waze slots that enjoy huge popularity
02:44among gamblers of all styles and preferences.
02:47Split
02:48One of the many innovative reel mechanics designed by Yggdrasil, Split is another exciting way to
02:55deliver big prizes.
02:57Players can take advantage of mystery symbols, able to split and form longer lines, bigger
03:01clusters, more ways to win, or even add extra scatter icons.
03:06When a split's mystery symbol shows up on the reels, it will immediately split into a
03:09random number of pieces, which will vary from one online slot to the next.
03:14During the next phase, all the mystery symbols will turn into regular icons to reveal winning
03:18combinations and deliver payouts.
03:21High Volatility Temple Stacks was the first splits game to hit the virtual casino floors
03:25in January 2020.
03:27That same year, it was followed by Neon Rush and Synchronite, which had a stunning winning
03:31potential of 1,280,000 euros.
03:36Gigablocks
03:37Gigablocks by Yggdrasil was premiered as huge blocks of matching icons in Lucky Nico.
03:43In the base game, they appear as 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 symbols, while in the Free Spins feature,
03:49players can benefit from huge 5x5 or 6x6 chunks packed with staggering winning potential.
03:55Gigablocks quickly won the hearts of gamblers and can be found in Hades, Gator Gold, Sabers
03:59and Swords Charge, Sun Catcher, Golden Fish Tank 2, Monster Blocks, 90k Yeti, Monster's
04:05Moon, Super Cash Drop… if you still haven't tried them, it's definitely time to give the
04:09gigantic blocks of shots.
04:13Infinireels
04:14Infinireels was first introduced by NetEnt in 2020, when Gods of Gold Infinireels invited
04:19players on an enthralling journey to the rich and prosperous kingdom of Mesopotamia.
04:24As incredible as it may seem, this mechanic features infinite reels.
04:29Each spin begins with a 3x3 grid, but every win adds a new reel.
04:33This process can go on indefinitely, producing a colossal number of payways and massive winning
04:38potential.
04:39The reels revert to their original size once there are no more winning combinations.
04:44But there's a lot we can say about the unique and melancholic feel of our beloved classic
04:49slots.
04:50They will never go out of style.
04:51But that doesn't mean the iGaming community won't benefit from an infusion of novelty.
04:56Progress is natural, and an organic part of the human experience.
05:00We strive to create something new, not necessarily bigger or better, but simply different.
05:05In this sense, innovative slot mechanics are always welcome.
05:09After all, variety is the spice of life.
