Ghost Glyph Gameplay

Ghost Glyph uses the cluster pays mechanic. Every time you form a win from identical symbols in a cluster, you trigger a Tumble. The winning cluster gets removed from the screen and a Tumble takes place. The rest of the symbols fall down to the empty spaces. The free spaces are filled with new symbols falling from above. These tumbles continue as long as you keep winning from clusters.

There are low-paying, premiums symbols, scatters and wilds. There are also symbols with special functions. You will have many chances to win extra wild symbols.

Every time you get a tumble after a winning cluster, you will have a Ghost Glyph symbol. It will be added to an empty position on the 5×3 grid. One Ghost Glyph symbol will be added for every Tumble and then it will be used as a wild. The wild can play for any other regular symbol and then will be added to a Ghost Urn. Each time you get a tumble and a Ghost Glyph symbol added you will activate a new Urn.
