Volatility describes how often a slot pays out and in what sizes. High-volatility titles pay less frequently but can return larger amounts per round; low-volatility games pay smaller amounts more often.

A scatter is a symbol that triggers a bonus round or spin feature regardless of its position on the reels. It does not need to land on a payline to count toward activation.

RTP stands for Return to Player — the theoretical percentage a slot pays back over many rounds. It is a studio-published figure, not a session guarantee, and is shown only where the provider supplies the data.

A multiplier is a value applied to a winning combination that scales the payout up. A 5x multiplier on a base win of 10 returns 50. Multipliers often appear during feature or bonus rounds.

Max win is the highest payout a single spin can return, expressed as a multiple of your stake. Studios publish this figure; it is a ceiling, not a typical result, and varies by title.

A payline is a fixed path across the reels along which matching symbols must land for a payout. Some slots use dozens of fixed paylines; others use cluster or ways-to-win mechanics instead.
