Grid slots.

How grid slots work

Grid games place symbols on a board and can use very different win systems. Reactoonz forms connected clusters, Moon Princess matches symbols in rows or columns, and Pirots uses moving collectors. A grid describes the layout, not one universal payout rule.

Grid slots: a layout is only the beginning

Grid slots arrange symbols on a playing board, but that shape does not establish one universal winning rule. Reactoonz looks for connected alien clusters; Moon Princess forms matching rows or columns; Pirots uses coloured bird collectors. Start by identifying which of those actions the game requires. A pattern that would qualify in one system may not qualify in another, even if both boards show matching symbols beside one another.

Trace a complete round in grid slots

Grid slots can change the board through replacement symbols, character abilities or collector movement. Reactoonz connects winning groups with energy progression, while Moon Princess gives its three characters different effects. In Pirots, pay attention to the bird’s colour and the path to matching gems. Follow one complete sequence before comparing the formats. The number of visible cells tells you the board’s size, while the individual help screen explains which actions contribute to the result.
