*Step by step*

# How to play Furensics ClusterBreaker

**Set your stake, decide on the two side bets, and spin.** Wins are formed by
**five or more matching symbols touching anywhere on the grid** — no paylines, no ways, and
no left-to-right rule. Any symbol can split into two, three or four identical copies inside one position,
winning symbols are removed, and new symbols tumble in to fill the gaps. What you actually control is the
RTP build you play, the side bets you enable, your stake relative to bankroll, and when you stop.

## The ten-second check that beats every strategy

- **Open the game** Demo or real money — both disclose the same figure.

- **Find the menu or the «i» icon** Usually bottom-left, or inside the burger menu.

- **Open the paytable / game information screen** The RTP line is normally the last item on it.

- **Read the number** 94.00%, 95.50% or 96.00%. If it reads 94.00%, the identical game may be
running at 96.00% at another licensed casino — see the [RTP guide](/rtp/).

## Cluster pays, in plain terms

### What forms a win

- Five or more identical symbols in contact — up, down, left or right. Direction does not matter.

- A split position counts as the number of copies it holds, which is how one symbol builds a cluster on its own.

- Every clearance can create the next cluster as symbols tumble down: chain reactions are normal here, not rare.

### What does not apply

- No line count to raise or lower — the stake covers the whole board.

- No left-to-right rule, so a cluster in the bottom-right corner pays exactly like one in the middle.

- No «due» cascade. Every drop is drawn by the same certified RNG as the spin that started it.

**Source note:** these rules describe how the
ClusterBreaker engine behaves in Stakelogic's earlier titles built on it. The engine is the same; the
per-symbol values and the grid for this game publish with its paytable on 21 December 2026.

## The value ladder: Upgrade, Prize Up, Collect, Pots

Four of the thirteen features work as one system, and understanding it is the difference between
watching a busy screen and knowing what you are watching:

| Step | Feature | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Upgrade Symbols** | Promotes symbols to a higher tier, so any cluster containing them pays more. |
| 2 | **Prize Up** | Raises the values sitting on the board before they are banked. |
| 3 | **Collect** | Sweeps up the values on the board. On this kind of design, the collect decides the size of the round. |
| 4 | **3 Persistent Pots** | Three collection targets that carry over rather than resetting each spin. |

Feature names are confirmed by the roadmap. How each is
triggered, and what the pots are worth, is unpublished.

## The two side bets, honestly

### Super Stake Doubles your stake

Stakelogic's trademark side bet. It doubles what you wager per spin and switches on an enhanced game
state — extra scatters, additional wilds, or low-paying symbols removed, depending on the title. The effect
is a higher bonus-trigger frequency.

**It buys frequency, not edge.** Halve your base stake first, or a €1 game quietly becomes
a €2 game and your 100-spin runway becomes 50.

### Spin to Win ≈ +1% RTP

Marked «STW» beside each RTP build on Stakelogic's roadmap. Activating it adds approximately one
percentage point of RTP, taking the 96.00% build to roughly 97.00%.

It is the only switch in the game that measurably improves your long-run return, which makes it the one
whose rules are worth reading in the info screen on release day.

## Sizing a bankroll for 5/5 volatility

*Working guide: 1% of session bankroll per spin*

| Session bankroll | Suggested stake | With Super Stake on | Spins if nothing returns |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| €50 | €0.50 | €0.25 base | 100 |
| €100 | €1.00 | €0.50 base | 100 |
| €250 | €2.50 | €1.25 base | 100 |

**The trap on a persistent-pot game:** progress that
carries over makes stopping feel wasteful. It is not. The pots do not owe you a payout for the time you put
in, and no amount of collected progress changes the odds of the next spin.

## Next: the number that costs you money

Three certified builds ship with this game. Your casino picks one, and the gap is two percentage points
of everything you wager.
