Slot Symbols
Wilds
Wild symbols, what are they and how can you benefit from them? The wild symbols are also known as substitutes in some slots because of their function. Your wild symbols main function is to substitute for other symbols over your reel to help create winning combinations. The wild symbols will be mixed with normal symbols on your reel and will spin among the rest of your symbols. If the game requires five matching symbols on a payline the wild symbol can generate a win with four matching symbols and a wild, get it? Or if your game requires only three matching symbols on a payline your wild symbol can increase the value of your win if it lands in a combination with your three matching symbols.
Some wild symbols have two functions, the substituting function and a multiplying function. If your wild also holds a multiplying function this means it will multiply your win with a predetermined number if it’s a part of a winning combination. So use the wild symbols to increase your chances of making a win and to collect greater wins!
Scatter
Scatter symbols are very common in online slots and are highly appreciated as they can score a win without having to land on a payline! The more scatter symbols you collect during one spin the higher payout you are likely to receive. Scatter symbols can also hold multipliers to increase your win even more. It’s very common for the scatter symbol to be the trigger for a bonus round in your game. Often three or more scatter symbols over your reel is required to activate the bonus feature.
Bonuse Rounds and Features
Free Spins
Free spins are a common term used in the casino world and these are basically a chance for you to spin the reels during a bonus for free. No money will be taken from your account when you play free spins. Free spins are classed as a bonus feature and will require a certain combination of symbols to get triggered. The amount of free spins you can win varies from game to game.

Tumbling reels means that your symbols will fall from above instead of spinning around, when you land winning combinations with tumbling reels all symbols involved in that win will disappear from your reels to make room for more symbols to fall down and if you are lucky even these symbols will create a win. The feature will continue for as long as you land a winning combination and all your wins will be paid out at the end of the feature.

A pick bonus is basically an instant win. All slots require different combinations to activate the bonus unless it’s a modifier and will appear at random. When a pick bonus is activated it’s up to you to pick between pots of gold, chests, masks or whatever the theme of your chosen slot is. A pick bonus can award you with cash payouts, multipliers, free spins or any other exciting prizes.
Multipliers
