WWild symbols
A wild usually substitutes for other symbols to help form a winning combination. It may stay in place, expand across a reel or carry a multiplier, depending on the title.
Check the exceptions: wilds do not necessarily replace scatters or other feature symbols. A familiar wild icon can behave differently in another game.
SScatters & feature triggers
Scatters often activate a feature when enough appear, sometimes without following a payline. Other games use collected symbols, meters or specific reel positions to trigger a round.
The paytable explains the required symbol count, where those symbols must land and whether extra symbols change the feature awarded.
↻Free-spin rounds
An in-game free-spin feature gives a set of spins under that title’s rules. It may add wilds, a different reel setup or a multiplier, and some games allow the round to retrigger.
This is different from a promotional free-spin offer attached to an account. The feature itself can require a paid base-game round to trigger.
×Multipliers & bonus rounds
A multiplier increases a qualifying payout by the factor shown. It can apply to one symbol, one win, a cascade or an entire feature; the scope matters as much as the number.
Look for when the multiplier grows, when it resets and any feature payout limit. A displayed maximum is a game limit, not a typical result.
%Return to player (RTP)
RTP describes a theoretical average across a very large number of plays. It is not the amount returned on every deposit, a session target or a promise that losses will be recovered.
Check the information for the exact game version. Provider-wide averages and a different release of the same title may not describe the version you are opening.
≈Volatility & total stake
Volatility describes the variation in results, including the pattern of payout sizes and frequency. It answers a different question from RTP and does not predict the next spin.
Before starting, check the total stake displayed for each round, including any optional feature setting. Choose a spending limit you can keep to.
