Read the active mode's table

Use this point when reading a result. Each cabinet includes a paytable underneath its Spin controls. The values apply to that named mode and this release of the game. Classic has a three-match column; five-reel games list awards for three, four and five matching positions from the left. Review one completed result at a time when comparing these details.

Recognize paying symbols

One useful detail is explained below. Cherries, lemons, bells, BAR and sevens appear in the classic set. Five-reel games also contain diamonds and Wilds. The symbol artwork makes the categories recognizable, but the actual payout depends on the mode's table and the path being scored. The examples describe virtual-credit play within this release. Additional context is available in the site’s related guides.

Separate symbol weight from payout

Use this point when reading a result. A high displayed multiplier is not the probability of landing that symbol. Symbols are drawn using the weights assigned to the mode, and different symbols can have different chances. The largest award in a paytable can therefore occur much less often than smaller ones. Review one completed result at a time when comparing these details.

Use the wager per line

Keep the scope of the explanation in view. Ordinary line multipliers are applied to the line wager. On a 20-line game, a total wager of 100 credits creates a five-credit line wager. A 10× line award then pays 50 credits, before any mode-specific multiplier explicitly shown by the rules. The same definitions apply on a phone and a desktop browser.

Pay only the best match per line

Consider this rule alongside the active cabinet. Wild substitutions can make several interpretations of one path possible. The engine compares their credit amounts and awards the highest once. It does not pay both a three-symbol and a longer version of the same match on that one line. The examples describe virtual-credit play within this release. Keep the current domain in view when checking saved information.

Identify Scatter separately

One useful detail is explained below. Scatter symbols trigger the free-spin, collection or pick feature when their mode requires at least three anywhere on the grid. They do not appear in a normal line paytable and have no direct Scatter-only award in these games. Wild cannot replace them. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation.

Distinguish feature multipliers

Keep the scope of the explanation in view. Collection values and pick-tile values multiply the triggering total wager rather than a single line wager. Their displays describe that basis explicitly. Wild Slots instead doubles qualifying ordinary line awards, with the paytable showing the values before that doubling. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation.

Keep the rules accessible

You can open and close the table without spending credits or changing the saved result. The numbered payline diagrams sit alongside it. Read these references before comparing amounts from different modes, since matching artwork does not imply matching mathematics. Review one completed result at a time when comparing these details. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.
