Propaganda 2 Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

The revolution continues in Propaganda 2, a high-volatility cluster-paying slot from ELK Studios.

Following the original Propaganda from 2022, the sequel returns to the dystopian world of LA11-1, where a rebellious society is fighting for freedom through an unusual combination of resistance, optimism and love.

The setting is still unmistakably dystopian, with damaged buildings, graffiti-covered streets and masked characters wearing red jumpsuits. However, the environment feels more colourful and alive this time, with vegetation spreading through the city and a more energetic presentation accompanying the action.

Behind the theme is a 6×6 grid with Cluster Pays, where winning combinations trigger Avalanches, generate Wild symbols and increase a global multiplier. The sequel expands on these mechanics with Wild Strike, Heart symbols, a persistent Mask collection system and the Love Bomb feature.

Propaganda 2 slot game has a highest listed RTP of 96.00%, high volatility rated 8/10, and a maximum advertised payout of 25,000x the stake. Players can also access two bonus modes, a separate Drop Bonus and five X-iter purchase options.

Game Features

Propaganda 2 is played on a 6-reel, 6-row grid, using a Cluster Pays system rather than traditional paylines.

Winning combinations require at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Multiple winning clusters can appear during the same spin.

The game features eight regular paying symbols, including ribbons, gloves, flowers, winged hearts, walkie-talkies, flower-filled guns, helmets and bombs.

Five-symbol clusters award between 0.05x and 1x the stake, depending on the symbol. The largest combinations require 36 or more matching symbols, awarding between 20x and 100x the stake.

The bomb is the highest-paying regular symbol, with a 36-symbol cluster worth 100x the bet. Alongside these paying symbols, the grid includes Wilds, Wild Strike, Heart, Mask, Love Bomb and other special symbols associated with the game’s bonus mechanics.

Avalanche Feature

Whenever a winning cluster forms, its symbols disappear from the grid. The remaining symbols fall into the empty positions, and new symbols enter from above. If the resulting arrangement creates another winning cluster, the process repeats.

These Avalanches continue until no additional winning clusters appear.

The mechanic plays an important role in Propaganda 2 because winning symbols increase the global multiplier and each winning cluster generates an additional Wild. A successful sequence of Avalanches can therefore produce more than just consecutive payouts.

Global Multiplier

The Global Multiplier applies to all winning clusters. Every winning symbol increases its value by 1, allowing the multiplier to grow as more winning symbols are removed during Avalanche sequences.

During the regular base game, the Global Multiplier resets between spins. However, the rules change during the Bonus and Super Bonus features.

When entering a bonus round, the multiplier resets, but it then remains active between Free Spins. This persistent multiplier is one of the main differences between regular gameplay and the bonus rounds, allowing consecutive bonus spins to contribute to the same growing value.

Wild Generation and Wild Merge

Propaganda 2 generates Wild symbols through its regular winning combinations. Whenever a winning cluster disappears, one Wild symbol is created in an empty position left behind by the removed symbols.

Wilds substitute for all regular paying symbols. If a cluster consists entirely of Wilds, it pays according to the game’s highest-paying regular symbol.

Wilds also interact with one another through the Wild Merge mechanic. When several Wilds contribute to the same winning cluster, their multiplier values are combined into the generated Wild.

Regular Wilds have a multiplier value of x1, while Multiplier Wilds can carry accumulated values from previous combinations.

If multiple Wilds participate in the same cluster, their values are added together rather than multiplied.

Multiplier Wilds that connect more than one winning cluster are split between the respective clusters. This system gives Wild symbols an additional role beyond substitution, allowing their accumulated multiplier values to contribute to subsequent winning combinations.

Wild Strike Feature

The Wild Strike feature activates when a Wild Strike symbol appears adjacent to a winning cluster. When triggered, it adds between 2 and 5 Wild symbols to the grid.

After producing these additional Wilds, the Wild Strike symbol transforms into a Wild itself.

The newly introduced Wilds can contribute to further winning clusters and interact with the Wild Merge mechanic.

Heart Feature

The Heart feature activates when a Heart symbol is positioned next to a winning cluster.

After the winning symbols have been removed and the grid has been refilled, one or more paying symbol types are selected. These selected symbols are then transformed into one matching paying symbol type. The Heart symbol also transforms into the selected paying symbol type.

Mask Symbols and Collection

Mask symbols introduce a persistent collection mechanic into the base game. Whenever a Mask symbol appears adjacent to a winning cluster, it becomes activated. At the end of the game round, activated Masks are added to the Mask inventory.

Collected Masks remain in the inventory between regular game rounds. Once 6 Masks have been accumulated, the Drop Bonus is triggered.

Mask symbols do not appear during Bonus Drops, keeping this collection mechanic separate from the regular Free Spins features.

Love Bomb Feature

The Love Bomb is another important mechanic in Propaganda 2. It can trigger during regular gameplay or during bonus drops.

Feature symbols carry energy, which is added to the Love Bomb’s energy total at the end of a round. This energy is retained between game rounds, allowing it to accumulate over time.

When Love Bomb activates, it triggers all feature symbols during that game round or bonus drop. The mechanic also plays a central role in the Super Bonus, where its effect remains active throughout the feature.

Bonus Free Spins

The regular Bonus feature is triggered by landing 3 Bonus Scatter symbols. Players receive 7 Free Spins, referred to as Bonus Drops.

The Global Multiplier resets when the bonus begins, but unlike the base game, it remains active between Free Spins. This allows the multiplier to increase across multiple bonus drops rather than starting again after every spin.

An Add Bonus Drop symbol can also appear during the feature, awarding 1 additional Free Spin. The Bonus can also be upgraded into the Super Bonus if a Super Bonus symbol appears during the round. When this happens, 2 additional Free Spins are awarded.

Super Bonus

The Super Bonus is an enhanced version of the regular Bonus feature. It can be triggered directly from the base game when the qualifying bonus combination includes a Super Bonus symbol. It can also activate when a Super Bonus symbol appears during the regular Bonus round.

The main difference is that Love Bomb remains active throughout every bonus drop. This means the feature-symbol activation effect is available during the entire Super Bonus rather than depending on an individual Love Bomb trigger.

As with the regular Bonus, the Global Multiplier persists between Free Spins, allowing winning symbols to continue increasing its value throughout the feature.

Drop Bonus

The Drop Bonus is triggered by collecting 6 activated Mask symbols in the persistent Mask inventory.

The feature begins with 3 spins and uses paying symbols, Wilds, Collect symbols and Upgrade symbols. Whenever one or more symbols land, the remaining spin counter resets to 3. All symbols remain on the grid between spins.

The feature continues until the available spins are exhausted or the maximum win is reached. At the end of the bonus, the total value of the winning clusters on the grid is awarded. Two special symbols introduce additional ways to modify the available prizes.

Upgrade Symbol

The Upgrade symbol increases the value of paying symbols during the Drop Bonus. When activated, it upgrades all paying symbols on the grid to a higher-paying symbol type.

The Upgrade symbol then transforms into that paying symbol type itself.

Collect Symbol

The Collect symbol selects an area of the grid. It then gathers all symbols within that selected area into one cluster. After completing the collection, the Collect symbol transforms into the corresponding paying symbol type.

Wilds also contribute their multiplier values to clusters during the Drop Bonus. If several Wilds belong to the same cluster, their multiplier values are added together before being applied.

Additional Mask Rewards

After the Drop Bonus ends, there is a chance to receive 1, 2 or 3 additional Mask symbols. These are added to the persistent Mask inventory.

X-iter Feature Buys

Propaganda 2 includes five X-iter options, allowing players to purchase enhanced bonus chances or activate specific features directly.

These options provide different levels of access to the game’s features, from increased bonus-trigger probabilities to guaranteed entry into the Super Bonus.

Availability may depend on local regulations.
