Avalanche

Avalanche is the name ELK Studios and Nolimit City give to cascading reels. Winning symbols disappear, the survivors fall, new ones drop in, and the chain carries on for as long as each fall lands another win. What each studio hangs on that chain is where the games differ. In Tsar Wars, every fresh avalanche after a win adds one to the multiplier. Tropicool 5 slides feature symbols in from its Cool Reel whenever an avalanche opens a gap, and Cygnus 5 runs the whole thing across a grid of 4,096 to 262,144 ways. The same idea under other names lives on the Cascading Reels and Tumbles pages.
