FIELD GUIDE

A closer look: read the line in your own browser.

A path across the reels

This reference concerns the supplied Slots games. A payline selects exactly one position from each reel. Classic has three reels with one row and one path. The five-reel modes show three rows and evaluate 20 fixed paths, including straight lines and paths that move between rows. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation. Review the relevant page before using another mode.

All lines remain active

This reference concerns the supplied Slots games. The five-reel games do not let you deactivate individual paylines. The total wager is divided equally across all 20 paths. This keeps the cost unambiguous and prevents a visible matching pattern from being mistakenly attributed to a line the player thought was switched on. A mode’s own paytable remains the reference for its awards. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.

Begin at the left edge

Use this point when reading a result. Ordinary matching runs start at the first reel and continue consecutively to the right. A broken position stops that candidate run. A visually attractive group on reels three through five does not pay by itself if the line's first two positions fail to support it. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation.

Follow the exact numbered diagram

This reference concerns the supplied Slots games. The line panel displays all active patterns with numbers. Select the number reported in a result explanation and compare its row sequence with the reel grid. Nearby symbols on a different row cannot be substituted for the positions that the path actually uses. Review one completed result at a time when comparing these details. Keep the current domain in view when checking saved information.

Allow shared positions

Consider this rule alongside the active cabinet. Different paylines can cross through the same symbol cell. Each complete path is evaluated independently for its best qualifying award. Shared cells mean the line results are statistically related, so twenty lines are not twenty independent whole-game trials. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation. Keep the current domain in view when checking saved information.

Apply Wild in the run

A precise definition makes the screen easier to read. Wild can stand in for a paying symbol on the positions the path visits. It does not move another symbol into that path or allow a run to jump across a mismatch. In Wild Slots, a Wild inside the qualifying run additionally doubles that line's award. A mode’s own paytable remains the reference for its awards. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.

Treat Scatter counting differently

Start by identifying what the number describes. Scatter triggers examine all 15 cells without requiring one path. That rule belongs to the applicable bonus modes and is separate from line awards. A paid result can therefore produce ordinary line awards and trigger a Scatter feature at the same time. The examples describe virtual-credit play within this release. Review the relevant page before using another mode.

Recalculate a step's award

One useful detail is explained below. For each reported paying line, multiply its effective multiplier by the line wager. Add the resulting amounts to get the step award. Feature collection and picking awards are listed separately because they use the total wager and do not arise from numbered paylines. The same definitions apply on a phone and a desktop browser. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.
