Cluster Pay
The Cluster Play mechanism makes Lab Leak unique, as do the cascading reels. Players nab wins by hitting on at least five matching symbols instead of the typical way on fixed paylines. When a winning cluster forms, the symbols disappear, and other symbols cascade down to take their place, allowing for more winning combinations. The cascades continue until there is no winning combination.
The animation of Lab Leak is a highlight, as the different-colored viruses pulsate, the chemicals bubble over, and the winning clusters explode before disappearing. The soundtrack is also catchy and puts you right in the middle of the madness in the lab.
Features
The Virus Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols and, when part of a winning cluster, triggers the Virus Spread feature. The viruses can spread to neighboring symbols, increasing the number of hold-and-spin positions. This is amplified by Super Viruses, which trigger a massive chain reaction when their surrounding symbols are multiplied.
By hitting on a prize symbol or a virus symbol, you automatically get a re-spin that keeps the cascade going, allowing for more wins. If that happens in the Virus Spread feature, where Super Viruses can turn a single win into a series.
If you land on at least four of the Bonus Scatter symbols, you are awarded and can be retriggered, landing more scatters. During the free spins round, the Virus Spread feature is available, giving you more of a chance to make winning clusters and cascades. Every free spin allows you to hit multiple wins, and the max win in the game is 10,000x the stake.
