How to play
Kodak Clusters Rules
A 7x7 grid where 5 or more matching symbols touching up, down, left, or right pay as one cluster. Winners shatter, the rest fall, new symbols drop in, and every winning cell leaves a multiplier spot behind.
How a spin works
- Choose your stake. The server draws the opening 7x7 board and resolves the whole round, every cascade, every spot, every free spin, before anything moves on screen.
- Any cluster of 5+ matching symbols touching orthogonally (never diagonally) pays from the paytable below. Scatter never forms a cluster.
- Winning symbols clear at once. Survivors fall down, fresh symbols drop in from the top, and the board is checked again. The chain runs until no cluster pays, or the 50-step cap is reached.
- Each cluster win pays floor(stake × paytable multiple × spot multiplier) in whole GP. The round total is capped at 5,000x your stake.
Scatters are counted on the opening board only. Refills never contain scatters.
Paytable
Multiples are paid on your total stake, not a line bet. Columns show the cluster size; a cluster of 15 or more pays the 15+ column.

Multiplier spots
Every cell a winning symbol clears is marked. The next win covering a marked cell turns it into a multiplier, and it keeps doubling while wins keep landing on it.
| Wins on the cell | Spot | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | marked | Cell is marked; no multiplier yet |
| 2nd | x2 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 3rd | x4 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 4th | x8 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 5th | x16 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 6th | x32 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 7th | x64 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
| 8th | x128 | The spot doubles, up to x128 |
A cluster's spot multiplier is the sum of the x2-or-better spots its cells cover, x1 if it covers none. The win that first turns a cell into x2 does not benefit from that x2; it applies from the next win on the cell.
Spots reset after every base-game spin. In free spins they persist for the whole round. That persistence is where the biggest wins live.
Free spins
Scatter, the gold K. Counted on the opening board only:
- 3 scatters: 10 free spins
- 4 scatters: 12 free spins
- 5+ scatters: 15 free spins
During free spins, 3+ scatters on a spin's opening board add +5 spins. At most 50 free spins run in one round. Spots persist across every free spin; the round total is still capped at 5,000x stake.
A worked example
You stake 1,000,000 GP. Five Gold Gems land in one cluster: 1,000,000 × 3.4826x = 3,482,600 GP.
Later in the same round, ten Gold Gems land covering a x4 spot: 1,000,000 × 17.4131x × 4 = 69,652,400 GP for that cluster alone.
Fairness
Target return to player is 96.5% (96.5%). Treat this as the design target from simulation, not a promise or independent certification: the scaled paytable is derived by exact linearity from a 1,000,000-spin Monte-Carlo measurement of 55.418% at scale 1.0, and a 1M-spin run of the scaled table is still owed before launch. Every spin can be verified on the fair page.
Know the rules. Trust the math.Every round is verifiable after the fact on /fair.
