The Playson software offers us one of its latest novelties Crystal Crush™: a mobile slot machine in Cluster Pays™ version! That is, instead of reels and rows we have avalanches of symbols and here in particular we are dealing with falling gems. When they form winning combinations they turn into symbols that combine with each other to go and fill the gauges we have on the sides.
Marie works in a jewellery shop in the centre of Paris, her boss wants to fire her because work has dropped off so much and he absolutely has to cut expenses. She is completely desperate as she lives alone with her five year old son Maël. On her last day at work she plans to steal the gems from the safe, take her son and go far away where no one can recognise her.
The D-day has arrived, Marie spends her day as usual but when she finishes she goes straight to the safe and starts putting all the gems in her bag and then closes the safe. No one will notice until the next day! Then she could go and exchange them for money and start her new life.
But this was not her lucky day! The police were doing checks! How was she going to escape? She had to hide the gems somewhere so she could come back afterwards to get them... She's been working in the mall long enough, she knows all the corners where there are no cameras! She'll have to send someone to get them because when her boss realises the theft he'll report her!
Marie goes back to her friend Laure who looks after her son and ends up telling her everything! How to get them back and above all how not to get caught! Laure's first reaction is to panic, but you have to keep a cool head to be able to think. First of all, we have to wait a few days, but Marie has to hide, the police will also come to look for her at home, and what about the child? Too many unanswered questions and not much time to think! Laure asks one of her friends to hide Marie, and she would keep little Maël, saying that his mother has gone on a trip.
Indeed, the next day everyone is looking for Marie! In order not to raise suspicions, Laure waits a few days before going to the shopping centre and following her friend's instructions to get the precious stones. She's stressed, she's not used to playing the rogue, she takes a deep breath and tells herself that nothing can happen. She has come with Maël, obviously she can't leave him anywhere, there would be too many explanations to give! Finally she finds the little bag that Marie had hidden in the shopping centre toilets!
Now she has to leave, that's another thing, she's afraid of being caught, but hiding her panic, she leaves with the little one and goes home and starts making calls, she has to exchange it for money and plan Marie and Maël's escape. It has to be said that Laure had previously had friendships that were not very good, but that would undoubtedly serve her well! One phone call is enough to arrange everything: the sale of the precious stones, the change of Marie's look and the fake passports...
Of course, it wouldn't happen in a single day, and the child had to be kept! Luckily Laure works from home, so she doesn't have to explain anything to anyone, otherwise it would be impossible to keep the secret! Marie used to leave the child with her all the time, so people aren't surprised to see her shopping with him, and he's a very nice little guy and not a problem at all. You just have to have a little patience!
After a few days, Laure's former boyfriend calls her and tells her that everything is ready... You have to act fast! When she goes to get the passports, she also has to change the kid's identity otherwise there will be a problem at the airport! She doesn't even recognise her friend, the change of look is impacting, even Maël asks who it is! It's great, these people have done a good job! Now we have to choose the destination, but Marie knows where she wants to go: Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic!
Laure buys the tickets over the internet, her friends had also taken care of selling the gems that can be seen in the Crystal Crush™ game, she also opened an account for her there and made transfers so she could settle in. But first she booked him into the best hotel so she could relax with her little Maël, she had earned it, taking so many risks to change her life and that of her little one, it wasn't her who would have done it! Everything is ready, the light suitcases, the passports, the money... All that is missing is to say goodbye to Laure and leave...
But when they are about to leave for the airport, before they can leave the building where Laure lives, the police knock on the door. The girls have turned pale, the boy doesn't know what's going on, there's an icy silence in the flat... The dream has just ended! The police officers come in, arrest the two girls and hand over little Maël to the juvenile centre, who still believes that this is part of the game they started a few weeks ago. And yes, the police didn't believe Laure's version, who in order to help her friend got into big trouble! The dream is over!
The slot with the Cluster Pays™ on a hexagonal interface that has 61 cells. Progressive symbols, which when they reach a new level give winning multipliers or Random Wilds on the reels. Crystallized symbols land to give a second chance to a winning combination. The wild symbol represented by a yellow hexagon with the letter W inside can substitute for all symbols except the crystallized symbols.
The crystallized symbols fill the gauges on the sides. There is no win ratio for crystallized symbols and they cannot be part of a winning combination. When the game is over the gauges reset to zero. Each regular symbol has a progress bar. Filling it up gives bonus points which can affect this kind of symbols.
Crystallized symbols fill the progress bar of the corresponding coloured symbol. To overwrite a crystallized symbol, form a winning combination right next to it. Crushed crystallized symbols become ordinary symbols. Every third crystallized symbol that is crushed results in a new bonus level. And simultaneously generated bonuses are activated in succession.
There are 6 bonus levels: The first is a x2 multiplier for subsequent wins for symbols of the same colour, active until the end of the current round. Level 2, up to three random symbols of the same colour, excluding crystallized symbols, turn into wild symbols. Only active when the level is reached. Level 3 is a x3 multiplier for subsequent wins for symbols of the same colour, active until the end of the current spin.
For level 4, up to 6 random symbols of the same colour, excluding crystallized symbols, turn into wild symbols and are only active when the level is reached. Level 5 is a x4 multiplier for subsequent wins for symbols of the same colour and active until the end of the current round. Finally, in level 6, all crystallised and ordinary symbols of the same colour turn into wild symbols. Active only when the level is reached.
All bonuses can only be activated once per spin. If there is no winning combination on the interface, the round ends and each progress bar or gauge is reset. During non-winning rounds, the Crystal Crush feature is randomly activated. It activates 2 levels of progress on randomly coloured symbols. Wins are paid when there are at least 5 similar symbols adjacent to each other on the side. Winning symbols disappear and symbols fall to fill empty cells and multiple combinations of the same symbol that are not adjacent pay separately.
