CollectR™ | SlotWise - Expert Guides and Tips | SlotWise: Data-Driven Slot Reviews & AI Recommendations

An innovative payout system from ELK Studios where 'Collector' symbols move on the grid, collecting matching symbols to award wins.

CollectR™ is an innovative winning determination system independently developed by ELK Studios.

This feature completely departs from the traditional concepts of paylines or cluster pays.

Instead, wins are paid out through a method where specific symbols acting as 'Collectors' directly move on the reels and collect symbols that match them.

The core of this feature is to provide an active and dynamic play experience of watching the collector symbols find their path and move, rather than passively waiting for results on a static reel.

How It Works

Pirot w/ Pays CollectR™ feature ⓒ ELK Studios

Appearance of Collectors and Collectibles

Symbols acting as 'Collectors' (e.g., the parrots in 'Pirots') and various types of 'collectible' symbols (e.g., gems) appear together on the game board.

Movement and Collection

The collector symbol checks its adjacent positions (up, down, left, right).

If it finds a collectible symbol of the same color or a special feature symbol, it moves in that direction and collects that symbol.

This process can continue in a chain reaction until there are no more adjacent symbols to collect.

Payout Calculation

When a single spin is complete, the total values of all symbols collected by all collectors are summed up and paid as the final prize.

Player Value

A New Dimension of Payouts

It completely breaks the existing molds of paylines and clusters, introducing the new concept of 'a collector finding its path' to provide fresh and original fun.

Active and Dynamic Gameplay

Players don't just watch the reels stop; they actively track and anticipate the path the collector symbol will take and how long a collection chain it will create.

This provides enjoyment similar to a puzzle game.
