Why symbols "drop" and how it creates win chains.

Why symbols "drop" and how it creates win chains.

Cascade mechanics (Tumble, Avalanche, Cascading Reels) remove winning symbols and let new ones "drop" into their place — giving a chance at a chain of wins from a single spin. Such mechanics often come with a rising multiplier for each consecutive cascade. They add spectacle and potential but do not change overall RTP: the house edge stays built into the slot's math.
