Collect-and-win slots: symbols, meters and reset rules
Direct answer: a collect feature transfers defined symbols, values or progress from the grid to a collector or meter. Collection may award an immediate value, build towards a feature or persist only within one bonus. The word “collect” does not define one universal rule.

Representative comparison
| Example | What is collected | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| 7 Clovers of Fortune | Connected feature symbols | Its Connect & Collect route can award several specified bonuses |
| Money Stacks Megaways | Visible money-symbol values | Collect placement, Super Collect behaviour and bonus modes differ |
| Super Gummy Strike | Money values added to sticky collect symbols | The developer describes a three-respin feature and an expanded-grid variation |
Collection types to separate
- Immediate collection: a collector awards eligible values currently visible.
- Meter collection: symbols add progress towards a defined threshold or modifier.
- Persistent bonus collection: progress remains only for the stated feature or number of spins.
- Connection collection: eligible adjacent symbols form a route to an award position.
Verification checklist
Record which symbols qualify, where the collector can land, whether all or only adjacent values count, whether multipliers apply before or after collection, when progress resets, and the exact RTP configuration. Never imply that a nearly full visual meter must trigger soon unless the game rules explicitly define deterministic progress.
