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.

Hold and Respin, or 'Hold & Win', is one of the most popular core bonus game mechanics in modern slots. The essence of this feature, unlike traditional free spins, is to 'Hold' bonus symbols on the reels and 'Respin' the remaining empty spaces to fill up the screen. This system was popularized worldwide through 'Money Train 2's' 'Money Cart Bonus' and is the foundation for numerous developer-specific brand features like Wazdan's 'Hold the Jackpot™' and Playtech's 'Fire Blaze™'.
