Wild and scatter symbols

Wild symbols

A wild may replace other symbols on eligible reels or lines. Some titles restrict it to particular positions or use it to activate another feature.

Wild symbols

A wild commonly substitutes for selected regular symbols to complete a combination, but exceptions are frequent. Check whether it substitutes for scatters, appears only on certain reels, expands, or carries a multiplier.

The paytable for the exact title defines each behaviour.

Scatter symbols

Scatters often trigger free spins or another feature based on the number shown, sometimes regardless of position. Confirm the required count, whether all reels qualify and what happens if the feature is retriggered.

A scatter can have a separate payout rule from a feature trigger.

Scatter symbols

A scatter may trigger free spins or a bonus when enough appear, sometimes regardless of line position. Check the game paytable for the threshold.

Use the in-game help for special cases

Wilds and scatters are common terms, not identical rules. A wild can be restricted to selected reels or symbols, while a scatter may need a specific count or screen position.

Check whether a feature retriggers, whether symbol values change in free spins, and what happens when a wild and scatter appear together.

If two symbols arrive together, consult the combined rule rather than assuming one overrides the other; a single exception can change whether a feature starts or a line qualifies.
