How bonus mechanics work in Push Gaming slots
How bonus mechanics work in Push Gaming slots
1. Cascading Payouts (Cascading Wins)
With each win, the symbols that form the winning combination disappear, and new ones fall in their place. This allows one bet to bring a series of consecutive payouts without additional spin of the reels.
Advantages: keeps luck "in the game," increases the feeling of dynamics.
Examples: Razor Shark, Jammin" Jars.
2. Cluster Pays & Multipliers
Push Gaming slots often combine Cluster Pays with increasing factors: each subsequent stage increases the factor by + 1.
Mechanics: when a cluster of 5 + characters falls out, payout × 1 starts, after the cascade the multiplier increases, and the next cluster multiplies the payout by × 2, and so on.
Restrictions: the multiplier can reach x20-x25, then it is reset or activates a special bonus.
3. Reel Split function
Unique mode in which reels are "split" into independent fragments:
4. Random Multipliers
With any backs or inside the bonus rounds, a random multiplier (× 2- × 5) can be triggered, superimposed on the entire win.
Activation: random selection before or after calculating combinations.
Combinations: Often combined with cascades for exponential payout growth.
5. Free Spins & Enhanced Features
Push Gaming offers several freespin formats:
6. Collect & Progress Bar
Some slots collect special characters on a separate scale:
7. Symbols-lotteries (Jackpot Drops)
Gradual accumulation of the progressive jackpot during regular spins.
Accidental triggering of the "jackpot drop" at the end of the spin.
Multi-level: several levels of prizes (bronze, silver, gold).
8. Combining mechanisms
Push Gaming skillfully mixes the listed elements:

3. Reel Split function
Unique mode in which reels are "split" into independent fragments:
- The playing field is divided into zones (usually 2-3 characters each).
- Each zone launches its own mini-round with separate payments.
- The total rate is saved, payments from the zones are summed up.
- Example: Reel Split slot: Three separate mini reels guarantee three separate chances to win.
4. Random Multipliers
With any backs or inside the bonus rounds, a random multiplier (× 2- × 5) can be triggered, superimposed on the entire win.
Activation: random selection before or after calculating combinations.
Combinations: Often combined with cascades for exponential payout growth.
5. Free Spins & Enhanced Features
Push Gaming offers several freespin formats:
- 1. Standard freespins with fixed rate and fixed number.
- 2. Progressive freespins: the multiplier starts at × 1 and grows with each cascade.
- 3. Mode selection: the player decides for himself whether to take a smaller set of high-multiplier spins or a larger number of low-multiplier spins (Jammin" Jars 2 mechanics).
- 4. Stored functions: bonus symbols and multipliers are transferred between the backs (Ice Ice Yeti).
6. Collect & Progress Bar
Some slots collect special characters on a separate scale:
- When the required amount is accumulated, the bonus mode is activated (for example, collecting hares in Fat Rabbit).
- The progression scale is visible on the screen and motivates you to continue playing.
7. Symbols-lotteries (Jackpot Drops)
Gradual accumulation of the progressive jackpot during regular spins.
Accidental triggering of the "jackpot drop" at the end of the spin.
Multi-level: several levels of prizes (bronze, silver, gold).
8. Combining mechanisms
Push Gaming skillfully mixes the listed elements:
- Jammin" Jars 2: Cascades + Progressive Multiplier + Freespin Mode Selection.
- Razor Shark: cascades + random multipliers + "cache with hidden multipliers."
- Big Bamboo: Collect + extreme volatility + Reel Split features.
Conclusion:
- Push Gaming bonus mechanics are a combination of cascade payoffs, dynamic multipliers, split reels and flexible freespins. All the elements aim to create a highly active, unpredictable experience, keeping Australian players in constant expectation of a big win.
