Cubes 2 at Royal Reels 25 — Hacksaw Cluster Pays

Five reels, five rows to start. Cluster pays. Five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically pay out. The colourful cube set:

• Gold cube: Top payer, 25x for 15+ cluster
• Purple cube: 10x for 15+
• Green cube: 5x for 15+
• Blue cube: 3x for 15+
• Red cube: 1.5x for 15+
• Card suits (spade, heart, club, diamond): 0.5x–1.5x for 15+
• Multi symbol: Carries a random 1x–10x multiplier, applies to all cluster wins on that spin
• Expanding wild: Replaces adjacent symbols with matching cube types, expanding the grid by one row or column

Every winning cluster tumbles. Symbols clear, new ones drop in, the spin continues until no new cluster forms. Cluster pays tend to chain 3–10 tumbles on average.

The expanding wild is the headline mechanic. When it lands, the wild replaces adjacent symbols with a matching cube type and adds an extra row or column to the grid. The grid starts at 5x5 (25 positions) and can grow to a maximum of 9x9 (81 positions).

How the expansion works:

• Expanding wild lands, copies an adjacent symbol type into 1–3 positions
• Grid grows by one row or column (up to +4 on each axis)
• New positions populate with random symbols, including possible new expanding wilds
• Cluster pays re-evaluate on the expanded grid
• Grid resets to 5x5 at the start of the next paid spin

The grid stays expanded throughout the free spins round in some bonus modes. A 9x9 grid with a multiplier symbol on every spin produces cluster counts of 30–50+ per winning tumble. The payout compounding on a 9x9 grid is the difference between Cubes 2 and most other cluster pays titles.

Cubes 2 has two bonus rounds triggered by the Free Spins scatter. The mechanics build on the expanding grid:

• Free Spins (3 scatters): 8 free spins with the grid expanded by 1 row and 1 column (6x6 to start). The grid stays expanded throughout the round. Multi symbols land more frequently. RTP 96.30%
• Super Free Spins (4 scatters): 8 free spins with the grid expanded by 2 rows and 2 columns (7x7 to start). Multi symbols carry a higher ceiling (5x–100x). This is where the 14,000x ceiling lives. RTP 96.47%

Super Free Spins is the headline bonus. A 7x7 grid with a 100x multi symbol and a 30+ cluster in one tumble can clear 3,000x on a single spin. The running total across 8 spins builds fast. Realistic bonus payouts on a 0.40 spin land between 30x and 200x most of the time.

Hacksaw publishes 96.33% RTP, 14,000x max win, high volatility. Hit rate around 26%. Bonus trigger frequency lands around once every 220 spins on average.

Royal Reels lists Cubes 2 at AU$0.10 minimum, AU$100 max bet. Bonus Buy costs: 80x stake for Free Spins, 200x for Super Free Spins. Available where local regulations allow.

Compared to other Hacksaw cluster pays titles (Le Bandit, RIP City), Cubes 2 sits in the middle. Higher max win than Le Bandit (14,000x vs 10,000x), similar to RIP City (12,500x), but the expanding grid is unique to Cubes 2. The grid mechanic adds visual interest but doesn't change the underlying math much.

Cubes 2 sits in Hacksaw's section of the lobby, usually in the cluster pays section near the middle of the shelf. Demo mode is open without an account. Real-money play needs a login and an AU$10 minimum deposit.

The game counts 100% toward bonus wagering on the welcome bonus and reload promos. Cubes 2 is part of the Drops & Wins network at Royal Reels, so every spin counts toward the weekly prize pools. Check the bonus terms for the current Drops & Wins eligibility.

For AU players, the practical setup starts with PayID. Demo the game for a few minutes to see the expanding grid in action before you commit a balance. The 9x9 expanded grid looks great on mobile but the symbols are smaller. Set a stop-loss and walk when the time's up.
