A game may use standard paying symbols together with special symbols that activate or modify game features.

STANDARD SYMBOLS

Standard symbols usually award a value when the required number appears in a valid combination, payline, cluster or game pattern.

BASE-GAME SYMBOL

WILD SYMBOLS

A wild may substitute for selected standard symbols. Some games use expanding, sticky, stacked, walking or multiplier wilds.

SUBSTITUTION FEATURE

SCATTER SYMBOLS

Scatters may award a payout or activate a feature without appearing on a standard payline. The required number varies by game.

FEATURE SYMBOL

BONUS SYMBOLS

Bonus symbols may activate free spins, a pick feature, a bonus wheel or another game-specific round when the conditions are met.

BONUS TRIGGER

MULTIPLIER SYMBOLS

PAYLINES

Matching symbols must appear on one of the game's eligible lines.

WAYS TO WIN

Matching symbols may need to appear on adjacent reels in sequence.

CLUSTER PAYS

A required number of matching symbols may need to touch in a group.

SCATTER PAYS

Eligible symbols may award a value regardless of standard paylines.

SYMBOL VALUES DO NOT PREDICT RESULTS

A high-value symbol does not guarantee a payout. Slot outcomes are random, and previous spins do not determine future results.
