Whatever you call them, the evolution of the slot game is really something to behold. From a one arm bandit of yesteryear to a 25-payline free spins progressive jackpot slot. Wow!

So what does all of this mean?

It’s a good question in actual fact, and one we’re asked a lot. Mainly we get asked to explain what the term ‘paylines’ mean, and how to play these modern day slot games.

The payline indicates a win line for want of an easier term to understand. If symbols are matches across a win line, you win. Pretty simple so far right?

Well to add value, you can combine win lines, and other features can also be thrown in. Like a Scatter Wild symbol. Whoa there – hold your horses… what’s one of those when it’s at home? Well a Scatter Wild symbol is a nominated symbol in the game that has the ability to turn other symbols in the game wild. By turning wild, they are injected with more value, and usually a value multiplier. So if the symbols value initially was 4 coins, and the wild carries a 4 x multiplier. Then you would receive 4 x 4 coins.

They’re just names at the end of the day, and you don’t need to be the most skilful of casino players to understand the process. Simply spin your way to success!
