About Keep 'em Cool Slot

Symbols exist in three temperature states on the 5x5 grid: fully frozen, half-frozen, and unfrozen. When a winning cluster connects, unfrozen symbols in that cluster get removed. Frozen and half-frozen ones stay. Then all remaining unfrozen symbols clear out too, and everything still on the grid drops one tier - frozen becomes half-frozen, half-frozen becomes unfrozen. New symbols fill the gaps, cascades continue. The result is that frozen symbols persist across multiple rounds, acting as anchors the grid keeps rebuilding around.

The Cocktail Glass is a scatter with a charge counter (up to 5). Whenever a win occurs while a Glass sits on the grid, every symbol of the winning type gets re-frozen to its fully frozen state, using one charge. So a cluster pays out, the symbols would normally start thawing toward removal, but the Glass locks them back. A Glass with 3 charges left handles three separate re-freeze events before disappearing. On a big cluster of premium symbols, this creates a loop: pay, re-freeze, new symbols cascade in, form new clusters around those frozen anchors, pay again, re-freeze again. The Blender works differently - it lands, picks a symbol type, and absorbs every instance of that type off the grid. More cascade in, those get absorbed too, chain continues until none remain. The Blender then pays as if the total count were one giant cluster, starting at 2 and adding 1 per absorbed symbol.

Three Picnic Basket scatters trigger the Sunset Picnic Bonus. Each basket reveals 3 to 5 free spins (9 to 15 total), and additional baskets during the round add 2 to 5 more. The bonus just increases Cocktail Glass and Blender frequency - no new mechanics, just more interactions per spin. You can skip the trigger entirely at 100x, or pay 3x for a FeatureSpins mode that raises trigger chance 5-fold.

No multiplier system at all. The premium symbol pays 5,000x for a 21+ cluster, which is the game's full cap from a single cluster of one type. Most slots need multiplier chains to reach their ceiling. Here, cluster size alone does it. Tropical fruits and cocktails on a beach backdrop, and roughly one in three spins returns something - gentle by Hacksaw standards.
