Pirates – Smugglers Paradise is a 5 reel game that is 5 symbols high. You land wins when you form clusters of 6 or more matching symbols across adjacent reels. When you land a cluster of 6 matching symbols, that symbol will become the winning symbol for that spin. This means that any other symbols that match will also remain on the reels. All winning symbols will drop down and the losing symbols will disappear, with new symbols added. If you form another cluster of 6 symbols or add to the existing ones the drop down will happen again. If you form more than one cluster with different symbols in each then the cluster with the lowest value symbols will switch to match the cluster with the highest paying symbols.
