Read the paytable
Every slot has an info panel with what each symbol pays, how wins form (lines, ways or clusters), the bonus features and the RTP version the casino runs.
How wins form
| Type | Win when | Example on our site |
|---|---|---|
| Paylines | Symbols line up on set lines | Book of Dead |
| Ways | Symbols on adjacent reels | Megaways |
| Scatter pays | Enough symbols anywhere | Gates of Olympus |
| Clusters | Touching groups | Sugar Rush |
Bet size
Your bet is the total cost of one spin. Pick a size that gives you plenty of spins within your budget. A bigger bet doesn't change your odds, only the amount at stake.
Volatility
Low-volatility slots pay small amounts more often. High-volatility slots pay less often, with bigger swings. See high-volatility slots and RTP and volatility.
