Cubes, an innovative online slot machine crafted by Hacksaw Gaming, offers a unique gaming format with a 5-11 reel layout that employs cluster paylines.The game's medium volatility strikes a balance between the frequency of wins and the payout amounts, catering to a wide range of players.
The design of "Cubes" is refreshingly simple, utilising basic yet visually appealing symbols. The game features six different square-shaped symbols, each with a distinct colour: green, yellow, red, light blue, purple, and dark blue. These squares are equal in value, with the payout ranging from 0.10x for a cluster of 5 squares to a generous 40x for clusters comprising 25 or more squares. In a departure from conventional slot games, "Cubes" does not include wilds or scatters, focusing instead on straightforward gameplay.
However, "Cubes" is far from being a mundane game, thanks to its three engaging features: the Middle Multiplier, Free Spins, and the Colour Blast. The Middle Multiplier is a key element in the base game, where each spin highlights an 'X' on the central cube. If this cube becomes part of a winning cluster, it unveils a multiplier that enhances the win. The size of the winning cluster directly influences the multiplier, which can increase by 1 for each cube in the cluster, up to a maximum of x22.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by forming clusters of different colours. Each uniquely coloured cluster that forms lights up a letter in the word "CUBES" displayed above the grid. Once all the letters are illuminated, the player is rewarded with 10 free spins and a randomly selected colour. During these spins, all winning clusters of the chosen colour remain sticky, enhancing the potential for larger wins. Additionally, the grid size remains fixed throughout the free spins, preventing resets between spins.
The Colour Blast is the final, exhilarating feature, exclusive to the free spins mode. Players who manage to form a massive cluster of 70 cubes in this mode receive an immediate win of 2,500 times their bet, adding an extra layer of excitement and potential for significant payouts.
