Slot Games: Terms and features explained

Slots combine simple gameplay with entertaining storylines and rewarding bonus rounds.

This article explains the key terms you'll come across while playing Slots.

 

Common Slot game terms

Paylines

A payline, or winning line, is a specific combination of symbols that results in a win.

Every Slot game has a predefined number of paylines.

In some Slot games, paylines are fixed. In others, you can choose the number of active paylines you want to use.

 

Scatter symbols

Scatter symbols trigger payouts or special features.

They can appear anywhere on the reels.

The number of scatter symbols that trigger a payout depends on the Slot game.

Check out the Slot's 'Game Rules' to see the details for each game.

 

Wilds

Wild are symbols that can substitute for any other symbol on paylines.

The general exception is that wilds cannot substitute for scatter or bonus symbols.

 

Feature rounds

Feature rounds are special bonus tasks you can come across during a Slot session.

These bonus tasks don't involve spinning the reels.

If you complete a feature round, you can win one of these:

• Multipliers
• Free Spins
• Instant payouts

Each Slot game offers different feature rounds, so check out the 'Game Rules' for details.

 

RTP (Return to player)

Return to Player (RTP) is the theoretical percentage of winnings that a Slot game returns to players over time.

This percentage is expressed as a percentage of the total amount wagered on the game.

RTP helps measure the long-term profitability of our Slot games.

 

How does RTP work?

RTP is calculated as a theoretical average across millions of plays over a long period of time.

The outcome of every Slot game is completely random because it uses a random number generator.

The random number generator ensures all outcomes are unpredictable and impossible to predict in advance.

Our Slot games are created by world-leading online casino game suppliers who provide the same games to many other online casinos.

 

Where can I find the RTP of a Slot game?

You can check the RTP (return to player) for any Slot game on our platform.

1. Open the Slot game
2. Select the 'Game Rules' or 'Help' option

The RTP percentage is displayed in the game information section.

 

Can I keep track of how much I've bet in each Slots session?

Yes, you can track your bets using two tools displayed at the bottom of the game screen.

• The 'Line Bet' shows the number of credits you've wagered on each line.
• The 'Total Bet' shows the total amount wagered on each spin.

All you have to do is:

1. Set your betting amount
2. Select the 'Spin' button

When you win, your winnings are displayed onscreen at the end of the spin.
