NetEnt locks down the yard with Flock Me

Mike “Hawk” and the Flocking Gang aren’t exactly keeping a low profile in the prison yard. They move like they own every corner and if you’re not with them you’re just taking up space. Tony “Claw and Order” does his best to keep the peace but keeping these birds in line was never going to be easy.

Flock Me is the latest release from NetEnt, a feature-rich cluster game where every move adds to the tension. And in a place like this, you’re either running with the flock… or running from it.

Colossal & Wild Symbols

Big birds take big cells! In Flock Me, symbols can land on the reels as 1x1 symbols or colossal 2x2 symbols. During the Avalanche, the symbols fill the empty positions below colossal symbols and every 2x2 symbol counts as four towards a cluster.

The Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except for Scatter, Cross Wild, Multiplier Wild, Flock Me and Cleaning symbols.

Eagle Warden Multiplier Wild

Watch out guys, the warden’s making his rounds! The Eagle Warden Multiplier Wild can land during the main game or Free Spins. Whenever it’s part of a winning cluster, it randomly moves to adjacent positions (up, down, left or right) and its multiplier increases by 1.

The Multiplier Wild can move on top of any symbol except Scatter, Cross Wild, Multiplier Wild, Flock Me and Cleaning symbols. If all adjacent positions are covered with any of these symbols, the Multiplier Wild moves to a random position. When it lands on a colossal symbol, it bulks up to a 2x2 colossal Multiplier Wild symbol... so better not start a fight with the warden!

Flock Me Feature

Someone dropped their ‘reading material’... Landing the Flock Me symbol will trigger the Flock Me feature. Every Multiplier Wild on the grid moves toward the symbol, filling all adjacent positions around it. Wherever a Multiplier Wild moves from, a regular Wild is left behind.

If all adjacent positions are already taken, they move to the next available spaces. One extra Multiplier Wild symbol is then placed on a position adjacent to the Flock Me symbol. Once everyone is gathered around the Flock Me symbol, it turns itself into a Wild. Contraband never lasts long in this place!

Cleaning Feature

Quick, hide it in the toilet! When landing the Cleaning symbol and there are no more wins, the Cleaning feature will be triggered. It will flush away all symbols except Wild, Multiplier Wild, Cross Wild, Scatter and Flock Me symbols.

Cross Wild

When the lines cross, trouble follows! When a Cross Wild becomes part of a cluster win, it will transform the symbols covering the positions in vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines into symbols of the same type. If the feature is activated with more than one Cross Wild symbol, a Wild symbol is placed where the transformation lines intersect.

There are 3 ways of clearing the way in the prison hall:

-Vertical Cross Symbol: transforms all symbols across the entire row and the full reel it lands on. -Diagonal Cross Symbol: transforms all symbols placed on two diagonal lines that intersect where the symbol is placed. -Omni-Directional Cross Symbol: when the Vertical Cross symbol and the Diagonal Cross symbol are vertically adjacent to each other in a cluster win, the Vertical absorbs the Diagonal symbol and turns into an Omni-Directional Cross symbol that clears the whole reel, the whole row and two diagonal lines.

Free Spins

Do your time right! Landing 3 Scatter symbols will trigger 5 Free Spins. During Free Spins every Multiplier Wild sticks around until the round ends. When landing 3 more Scatters during Free Spins, +2 spins will be added to your “sentence.”

Elevate Feature

The Elevate Feature lets you “pull some strings”:

-Boost: may trigger Multiplier Wild(s) or a feature (Flock Me, Cleaning, Cross Wild, Free Spins) for 2 times the bet. -Flock Me: activates the Flock Me feature for 20 times the bet -Super Flock Me: activates the Flock Me feature and awards up to 2 Multiplier Wilds for 50 times the bet. -Free Spins: activates 5 Free Spins for 100 times the bet. -Super Free Spins: activates 5 Free Spins and awards the Flock Me feature and 2 Multiplier Wilds in the first spin for 250 times the bet.

Keep Your Head Down

The Flocking Gang is always watching so stay sharp, keep moving and try not to drop anything…
You never know who’s behind you.
