Slingo's Cosmic Clusters Review

Most of us are familiar with what Slingo games are. They are basically beefed-up bingo games, which offer pretty much a similar experience but in different wrappings and utilize different bonus features and extras. With the studio’s new Slingo’s Cosmic Clusters, however, the developers go beyond the boundaries of the traditional Slingo format and present the next step of its evolution.

As the title already hints, it’s not a typical Slingo game as it is built on the Cluster Pays system. The actions of the game take place across a 5x4 grid, where all kinds of aliens and bingo numbers appear. Sitting on top of the main grid is a 5x5 Slingo grid, which contains random numbers from 1 to 75. In the bonus, these two reel sets merge into one massive grid, though, we’ll cover it shortly below.

Slingo’s Cosmic Clusters Slot Gameplay & Features

Now, let’s start walking you through how things work in the Slingo’s Cosmic Clusters slot. Traditionally, symbols on the bottom grid create winning combinations in clusters, when at least 4 of the same kind appear vertically or/and horizontally adjacently. There are seven alien symbols of different shapes and colors, which have the following win values:

After a payout is achieved, the Cascading Wins feature comes into play. All winning symbols get removed from the reels, and new ones tumble down from above to fill empty spaces. If new winning combinations occur, the process continues, up until there are no new combinations to be made.

The upper Slingo grid, however, operates in a different way. In addition to aliens, bingo numbers can appear on the bottom grid, and if the landed number matches a number shown in the corresponding column above, that number is marked off and then replaced by a random alien. After a number match is triggered, the number disappears on the bottom grid and a cascade proceeds.

Much like in other Slingo games, the more Slingos, or win lines, you complete on the Slingo grid, the bigger will be the reward. There are 12 lines available, and a Slingo is achieved by having a full line of aliens. Completing a Slingo adds +1 or more Cosmic Spins to the total tally. You always start with 1 spin, with the counter shown to the left of the reels, and it’s possible to acquire up to 25 Cosmic Spins.

The feature is triggered when either a Full-House is achieved, which is when all 12 Slingo lines are complete, or when a cluster of 4+ matching aliens is made on the Slingo grid. Once activated, both grids merge into a huge 5x9 setup, however, any unmatched numbers in the Slingo grid become frozen, or inactive in other words. Overall, the bonus game operates like a classic cluster pays slot.

Slingo’s Cosmic Clusters Slot - Cosmic Spins

You can play Slingo’s Cosmic Clusters on any device, and you need as little as £0.2 to give it a spin, while bets up to £100 per spin are accepted. The volatility is in the medium range, and the RTP is disappointingly below the average level at 94.15%. The max win isn’t impressive as well, clocking in at only 1,250x the stake.

Review Summary

All up, we are always hyped up for new exciting gaming mechanics and features, and it’s pretty good to see that such developers as Slingo Originals do not stand still and constantly keep evolving and coming up with creative ideas. Its Slingo's Cosmic Clusters is fun and would certainly appeal to players seeking new experiences, yet there’s still room for improvement. Anyway, keep in mind it’s the studio’s first game of that type and it basically acts as the vehicle for the novel mechanics. Thus, we are looking forward to seeing more games under this concept.
