Reels and symbols in slots

Match symbols to the paytable

Regular, wild, scatter and bonus symbols can have different roles. The information panel explains each symbol and valid combination.

Start with the paytable symbols

The paytable lists regular symbols, their combinations and the number of reels needed for a prize. Some titles use different symbol sets in a feature round.

Compare the exact game version and read both sections before deciding what a symbol combination means.

Check special symbol substitutions

A wild may replace only certain symbols or appear only on selected reels; a scatter may trigger a feature without forming a line.

The rules also explain whether either symbol can appear in a bonus round. Do not assume a symbol works the same way across providers.

Check special substitutions

A wild symbol may substitute for other symbols or trigger a feature, but its use is title-specific.

Read symbol rules in both base and feature games

A symbol may change value, position or behaviour in a bonus round. Check the paytable for substitute symbols, wild multipliers, scatters and any symbol that cannot appear on certain reels.

This avoids assuming that a familiar icon has the same role in another title or feature mode.
