Highlight Features

Cluster Pays

The Cluster Pays system is an innovative winning method that completely breaks the traditional slot concept of 'lines'. In a typical slot, symbols must be placed sequentially from the left on a designated payline to be considered a win. However, in the Cluster Pays method, there are no lines at all. Instead, symbols like candies or jellies cascade down onto a large grid (usually 5x5 or larger). There is only one condition for a win: identical symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to form a cluster.

Symbol Upgrade

Symbol Upgrade is a powerful feature that progressively converts low-value symbols on the reels into higher-value ones as the game proceeds. The core of this feature is not just a one-time symbol change, but a 'growth' structure where lower-tier symbols are permanently removed from the reels and replaced by higher-tier ones. This drastically increases the average expected payout of the reels towards the end of the round.

Bonus Buy Efficiency

Average Bonus Buy Price

This slot's bonus buy price sits within the usual range for comparable slots. Buying the feature can be a reasonable option if your goal is to reach the free-spin round without waiting for a natural trigger. The trade-off is that you skip the base-game spins that would normally happen before the feature, including any wins or volatility from that part of play.

Quality-Degrading

The localization lowers the slot’s overall quality compared with the original-language version, so we recommend a comprehensive review or removal of the localized content.

Below, we share our observations on some of the specific localization issues identified in Coven Rising.

Select the question-mark icon at the end of each item to read a related case study.

  • The same issues seen broadly across other slots from Pragmatic Play also appear in this game. 
  • Unnecessary localization has been applied to the original artwork, substantially reducing the quality of the artwork itself. 
  • This might be understandable from a smaller studio, but a game from a major provider such as Pragmatic Play should have received greater attention in this area. 
  • The localization includes wording that users may find offensive. 
  • Obvious mistranslations, malformed sentences, or inappropriate expressions affect the user’s understanding of the game’s content. 
  • The source-language script contains errors, or some wording has been written in a way that is unsuitable for translation.
