Journey to Paris is a 5x5 cluster pays slot created by Play’n GO and released in June 2024. Unlike traditional paylines, the game uses a cluster pays mechanic where wins form when matching symbols touch horizontally or vertically. With cascading wins and rising multipliers, each spin can lead into a string of potential symbol drops.
The design is charmingly Parisian, from the accordion-laced soundtrack to the visuals inspired by quaint street cafés and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. It’s designed to be visually engaging while maintaining clear symbol grouping and gameplay flow, making it easy to follow for both new and returning players.
To get started, players need to create an account. Here's how to do that on the BetVictor website:
Once you're in, simply search for Journey to Paris in the slot library. The game opens in a 5x5 format, and clusters of matching symbols trigger wins. After every win, symbols vanish and new ones cascade down, offering the chance for more wins in the same round. The game’s user interface is intuitive, with clearly marked buttons for spin, autospin, and information about the features.
The symbols reflect the street performance culture of Paris, with magicians, mimes, and musicians leading the way. The game’s layout is clean and vibrant, with animations that give feedback without overwhelming the screen. It’s easy to keep track of what’s happening, even when cascades chain together.
Here’s a quick look at what each symbol pays for clusters of 3, 4, and 5:
Symbol | x3 | x4 | x5 |
Wild (Gold Coin) | 10x | 30x | 1000x |
Magician | 1x | 5x | 50x |
Mime | 0.7x | 3x | 30x |
Accordionist | 0.7x | 3x | 30x |
Dove & Hat | 0.6x | 2.5x | 20x |
Wand & Hat | 0.6x | 2.5x | 20x |
White Gloves | 0.5x | 2x | 15x |
Balloon | 0.5x | 2x | 15x |
Accordion (low) | 0.4x | 1.5x | 10x |
Duplicate low set | 0.3x | 1x | 5x |
After each cluster win, the symbols disappear and new ones fall into place. A win multiplier increases by +1 with every consecutive cascade. This continues until no new cluster forms. The multiplier resets between spins but adds an extra layer of momentum during active rounds.
The gold coin acts as the wild, substituting for all symbols to help form winning clusters. It’s also the highest paying symbol in the game, with a 5-symbol cluster awarding 1000x. Its dual function makes it especially useful during cascades where positions shift rapidly.
The bonus game is triggered by revealing the word "BONUS" hidden behind symbols during cascades. Unveiling all letters awards 10 free spins. In this round, the game switches to scatter-style pays - symbols no longer need to be in clusters but just need to appear in sufficient quantities anywhere on the grid. The win multiplier does not reset between spins here, allowing it to build throughout the round. The feature can be retriggered to a maximum of 20 free spins.
Clearing all 25 symbols from the grid in one sequence awards an instant 1000x payout. This reward sits outside the regular win mechanic and acts as a special bonus for the rare occasion when the entire grid is emptied during a cascade sequence.
Another comparable option is Reactoonz, which swaps street performers for animated aliens but keeps the cluster drops and bonus mechanics engaging. Fans of high-energy grid slots might also like Honey Gems, which introduces a fresh dynamic.
