Theme of The Game
Net Entertainment are turning to great novels for pokie themes now, it seems. There is certainly nothing wrong with that, especially when they manage to churn out a pokie game theme on James Hilton’s legendary city of Shangri-La, from his Lost Horizon book.
The Swedish online casino software developers have even tried to follow-on from their success Aloha: Cluster Pays pokie by doing something in the same vein with this title. We were cautiously optimistic when we first heard of their plans. So, how did they pan out?
Developer
Unfortunately, The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays is nowhere near as energetic, exciting or profitable as that earlier Pacific island cluster pays game. This game is thematic, and there can be no denying that. Net Entertainment have dropped the ball a little with features, though, and that is rather disappointing, as you will see.
How to play it
As is true of all cluster-style pokie machine games, there are no paylines present on the reels of this pokie machine. Instead, players are required to land clusters of symbols on those reels, to pocket prizes.
Players may not be able to alter paylines (since there are none), but they can most certainly alter the value of their bets, from 10c per spin, up to a capped maximum bet of $200 per spin.
Special features
Wild symbols: Players will find a wild icon in the Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays pokie machine. Wilds can appear and substitute for all other symbols in the game. They will substitute for whatever icon they happen to be adjacent to when they land, barring free spin symbols. Randomly triggered wild features can also see players potentially land winning combos which are sometimes 9 symbols deep, too.
Re-spins bonus: When two or more non-winning clusters appear on the reels of this pokie, they will remain frozen into place. At the same time, all other symbols appearing on the reels of this game will re-spin, and that could make the difference between a non-winning spin and a winning one in this pokie.
Free spin bonus: The free spin symbols are used to trigger a free spin bonus round in the Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays pokie. Players need to pocket 3, 4, 5 or 6 such symbols to begin the bonus round with 5, 6, 7 or 8 free games under their belt.
Landing just 2 symbols isn’t necessarily the end of the world. When this occurs, you may be able to nudge down a reel to potentially capture that missing free spin scatter. You might not, but at least the option may be there, from time to time.
Maximum payouts
The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays comes with a non-progressive jackpot worth around 10,000 coins. That is overly decent for any cluster-style pokie machine. Of course, the more symbols you bag in a cluster, the closer you will get to pocketing this kind of cash prize.
Summary
This is a pokie machine which can be entertaining if you have never played a cluster-style pokie before, or if you happen to love the Lost Horizon tale.
However, if you have played Aloha: Cluster Pays or another cluster-style pokie before, you are likely to find their features a tad more exciting and profitable than those which appear in this game.
