Flock Me's 8,594x Payout: A 250x Bet for 'Super' Free Spins, or a 20x Bet for One 'Flock Me' Hit?

When a game named "Flock Me" lands on the upcoming release schedule, you stop and look. It’s audacious, a little bit silly, and, as it turns out, a perfectly literal description of its core mechanic.

NetEnt's new slot, scheduled for an exclusive release tomorrow, November 13, 2025, drops us into a high-concept "gangster bird" prison. Where recent hits like Gonzo's Quest II were all about grid expansion, Flock Me is about consolidation.

Based on the details, the entire game is a two-stage process: a patient setup followed by a violent payoff, all chasing that 8,594x max win.

The Setup: The "Eagle Warden"

The game plays out on a 6x7 grid using a Cluster Pays system. You need five or more matching "inmate" symbols to "flock together" for a win, which triggers an Avalanche.

But the real action isn't about the inmates; it's about the "Eagle Warden."

This is the game's roaming Multiplier Wild. When this Warden is part of a winning cluster, he doesn't just disappear. Instead, he randomly moves to an adjacent empty spot after the win, and his multiplier increases by 1.

This is a brilliant evolution of NetEnt's classic "Walking Wild", pioneed by Jack and the Beanstalk. You’re not just watching one Wild walk off-screen; you’re actively cultivating multiple Wardens. One win gets a Warden to x2. A few Avalanches later, he’s at x5, and another x3 Warden has just flown in. If this also reminds you of Push Gaming's Jammin' Jars series, then you're on the right track.

This builds a fantastic tension. You have all this potential locked up and scattered across the prison yard. How do you cash it in?

The Payoff: The "Flock Me" Feature

A special "Flock Me" symbol (a contraband magazine) can land anywhere. When it does, it acts as a magnet.

It literally tells all the Eagle Warden Wilds on the screen to "Flock to Me".

Imagine you’ve been patiently cultivating three separate Wardens—an x2, an x5, and an x4—all roaming different corners of the grid. The "Flock Me" magazine hits the center. In one move, all three Wardens are pulled from their positions and slammed into the cells immediately adjacent to the magazine, forming one massive, high-multiplier super-cluster.

To make it even better, every position the Wardens just vacated is filled by a new, regular Wild symbol. It's a "Wild-pull" mechanic designed to consolidate all that built-up, patient potential into a single, explosive payout.

The 'Elevate' Menu

This entire "build-and-break" model is supported by the "Elevate" feature, NetEnt's standard buy-menu that we've seen in their other premium 2025 releases, like Piggy Riches 3. It’s tailored to this specific mechanic and answers the question in the title. It allows players to pay for different levels of action, from a 20x bet for a guaranteed "Flock Me" symbol, all the way to a 250x bet for "Super Free Spins," which guarantees the feature activates on the very first spin.

The Takeaway

Flock Me is a perfect snapshot of NetEnt’s 2025 formula. It’s a game of patience and sudden, violent bursts. You’re not just spinning; you’re corralling wardens, waiting for the signal to pull off the big shakedown.
