Juicy Do Cluster is a fruit-themed slot game developed by GameBeat, featuring an 8×8 grid with cluster pays mechanics. The game combines traditional fruit symbols with Japanese-inspired elements, notably the Daruma doll used in the bonus features.
The game's main attraction is its cluster pays system, where winning combinations are formed by connecting 5 or more identical symbols vertically or horizontally. After each win, the winning symbols disappear, allowing new symbols to cascade down, potentially creating new winning clusters.
Symbols in the game include various fruits, with higher-value symbols likely being more premium fruits. The game features three types of Wild symbols: Regular Wild, Split Wild, and Golden Wild. The Regular Wild can replace any symbol except the Bonus symbol and appears in both the base game and Free Spins. The Split Wild and Golden Wild are special symbols that appear only during the Free Spins feature.
Juicy Do Cluster offers several random features in the base game:
- Wild Beat: Randomly adds 5 to 9 Wild symbols to the grid.
- Poofing: Randomly removes 10-20 fruit symbols from the grid without awarding wins.
- Line Off: Randomly removes all fruits along a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line without awarding wins.
- Magic Twist: Randomly replaces 8-12 symbols with one specific symbol.
- Big Symbols: Special symbols of sizes 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 can appear, counting as a single symbol for cluster formation but using the cluster value for payout calculation.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 4 or more Bonus symbols, awarding 8 to 20 Free Spins depending on the number of triggering symbols. During Free Spins, a unique “Daruma Accumulator” is active. Every winning cluster fills the accumulator, which provides multipliers for future wins. The accumulator has different levels, each requiring a certain number of symbols to fill and offering increasing multipliers up to a maximum of x10.
In the Free Spins, two special Wild symbols can appear:
- Split Wild: When part of a winning cluster, it splits into 1 or 2 Regular Wilds and spreads to new positions.
- Golden Wild: When part of a winning cluster, it increases the global Daruma multiplier by +1 and moves to a special display zone.
The game also offers a Buy Feature option, allowing players to purchase entry into the Free Spins round for 100x their total bet. Additionally, there's a “Double Juicy” option that doubles the chance of triggering the Free Spins for 1.5x the total bet.
An interesting aspect of Juicy Do Cluster is its fusion of traditional fruit slot elements with Japanese-inspired features, particularly the use of the Daruma doll as a central element in the bonus game. This combination creates a unique gaming experience that sets it apart from typical fruit-themed slots.
