Twilight Princess (Pragmatic Play): 5×5 clusters, Wild multipliers and Free Spins with sticky Wilds

Twilight Princess is a Pragmatic Play slot machine with a 5 reels × 5 rows format and a cluster pay system: wins come from groups of connected symbols, rather than fixed lines. The reference sheet indicates a RTP of 96.08%, high volatility, and a maximum win advertised at 7,500× the bet.

• Wins: 5 or more identical symbols connected horizontally and/or vertically.

• Wilds: random multipliers (2×, 3×, 5×, 10×) and cumulative multipliers if multiple Wilds participate.

• Free Spins: sticky Wilds throughout the feature + potential retriggers.

How cluster wins work

The principle is simple: as soon as 5 or more symbols of the same type touch (up/down/left/right), the combination pays. This payment mode often gives a different pace compared to a line slot: it’s not the position “on a line” that matters, but the density of symbols on the grid.

Wild multipliers: the lever that creates the best spins

The Wild symbol can substitute for paying symbols and carries a multiplier (2×, 3×, 5× or 10×). When a combination includes several Wilds, the multipliers are added, which can change the final value of a cluster quite visibly.

Free Spins: sticky Wilds and retriggers

Free Spins are triggered through scatters (3, 4 or 5). The feature starts with 10 free spins and the sheet also indicates a cash reward that varies according to the number of scatters. During the Free Spins, any Wild that appears becomes sticky and remains displayed until the end of the bonus, which progressively increases the chances of big clusters.

The bonus can be retriggered: obtaining more scatters during the feature adds extra spins (with thresholds depending on the number of scatters).

To go further

• The Dog House: another very popular Pragmatic, for comparing the feel.

• Sweet Bonanza: a more “explosive” experience, but with a very different pace.

• Wild Clusters (BGaming): another cluster-oriented grid, useful for comparing mechanics.

In summary, Twilight Princess aims for a gameplay that is easy to understand (clusters) but potentially very thrilling when Wild multipliers and sticky Wilds accumulate during Free Spins.
