TRICKY TREATS CLUSTER LINK: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: October 27, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
Prepare yourselves for spooky madness and the potential for some lucrative treats in this Halloween inspired slot game from Push Gaming.
Similar to the excellent Dragon Hooper (also by Push Gaming), our Tricky Treats Cluster Link slot review will educate you on everything that you need to know about this slot including its features, maximum payouts, RTP and the best strategies.
TRICKY TREATS CLUSTER LINK SLOT: NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION
If you would just like a very quick summary of Tricky Treats, then just read the five points below.
- Wins are triggered when matching symbols cluster adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically.
- When winning combinations occur, the cascading and collapsing reel is activated where winning symbols are removed and new symbols cascade in from the top pf the screen. This will continue until no new winning combinations occur.
- The Pumpkin symbol is the Wild symbol which will always have a multiplier attached to it. Winning combinations which occur using the Pumpkin wild will have its multiplier added to the winnings. For each win the Pumpkin Wild is involved in, its multiplier will increase by one.
- Instant prizes can be won in the base game and during free spins. When at least five instant prize coin symbols cluster, it will pay out a win. Instant prize symbols can be worth from 2x up to 1,000x.
- The Tricky Treats variance is high, the RTP is 94.38% and the maximum possible payout is 10,000x.
TRICKY TREATS CLUSTER LINK: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
We immediately noticed how similar Tricky Treats is to another Push Gaming slot, Dragon Hopper. We have to say that Dragon Hopper is the better slot game because wins are more frequent and the Wild symbols will hop around the board which creates bigger and better payouts.
With Tricky Treats, it just seems like Push Gaming has added a spooky theme and actually taken away one of the features which made its predecessor Dragon Hopper so good. We do like the fact that they have added two Push Bet features to this slot where you can pay to guarantee the Pumpkin Wild will land, but it is disappointing and our YouTube playthrough conveys this with our lack of wins resulting in a £30 loss in less than £15 minutes of gameplay.
Our advice: play Dragon Hooper instead which is one of the most superior online slot games from Push Gaming.
TRICKY TREATS SLOT FEATURES
Tricky Treats Cluster Link comes with plenty of features to get your teeth into so let’s get right to it with the explanations of them all starting with the Cluster Links/Pays.
CLUSTER PAYS/LINKS
Cluster Pays and Links trigger instant wins when a specified number of symbols land adjacent to each other on the reels. Cluster Pays slot games are becoming more popular due to how easy they are to play and some of the winning combinations they can create.
WILD PUMPKIN SYMBOL
The Wild Pumpkin symbol is both a Wild symbol as well as a scatter symbol. In addition, when a Wild Pumpkin symbol combines in a win with other symbols, its multiplier value will increase by one.
PUSH BETS
The Push bets will allow you to essentially buy guaranteed Wild Pumpkin symbols. Pay 2x your bet to guarantee one Pumpkin Wild per spin or 4x your bet to guarantee two Pumpkin Wilds per spin.
WILD MULTIPLIER SYMBOLS
The Wild Multiplier Hat symbols distributes its multiplier value to all Wild symbols in view on the grid. Values can range from 1x up to 1,000x.
INSTANT PRIZES
The Instant prize symbols are bet multipliers. When five or more land in a cluster, it will payout a win of all of the values of the instant prize multipliers combined.
COLLECT FEATURE
The Collect feature picks random paying symbols of one kind from the whole grid and attracts them around its position creating a guaranteed Cluster Win. Collectors can attract Instant prize symbols if there at least four of them in view. The number of symbols collected ranges from 4 to 8. When a cluster is created, the Collector symbol will transform into a paying symbol or an instant prize symbol with a value ranging from 1x up to 1,000x.
TRICKY TREATS CLUSTER LINK FREE SPINS
When three or more Wild symbols land anywhere on the reels, the free spins feature is triggered. Wild symbols and Instant prizes from the base game will carry over to the free spins feature. During free spins, respins are possible.
Full List of Slot Features:
- Free spins
- Respins
- Cluster Links
- Cluster Pays
- Sticky Wilds
- Multiplier Wilds
- Collect feature
- Push bet
- Instant prizes
TRICKY TREATS RTP AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
Tricky Treats Cluster Links has a theoretical average return to player (RTP) without using the push bet feature of 94.38%. With either of the Push Bet features activated, the RTP is lower. One guaranteed scatter symbol Push bet lowers the RTP to 94.32% whilst two guaranteed scatter symbols push bet lowers the RTP to 94.26%.
The maximum possible payout you can win in the Tricky Treats video slot game is 10,000 times your wager.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING TRICKY TREATS FOR REAL MONEY
When the SlotsHawk team tested and played Tricky Treats for real money, we tried several ways of betting with the Push bets sometimes activated and sometimes left alone, but unfortunately we could not seem to find any winning combinations.
We did trigger the free spins game using the Push bet which guarantees one scatter symbol, but even after that we only managed to win a small amount during free spins.
What you need to remember is that there are not really winning strategies here as slots are entirely luck based.
EXTRA INFO
Tricky Treats slot is played on a 9×6 grid with zero paylines and uses the Cluster Pays mechanic. The variance/volatility level in Tricky Treats is very high which means that payouts are less common but are likely to be bigger when they do trigger. The minimum bet is £0.10 per spin and the maximum bet when playing Tricky Treats for real money is £5 per spin. Push Bet features can be activated, but for UK players bets cannot exceed £5 per spin.
Important information you need to know about Tricky Treats Cluster Links is that the RTP is set at 94.38% and the maximum possible payout available is 10,000x. This game was released by Push Gaming on 22/10/2025.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“There are plenty of nice features here but in comparison with some of Push Gaming’s previous slots, most notably Dragon Hooper, Tricky Treats lacks a winning edge.”
