A closer look: look at the numbers without a timed decision.
Two symbols with different jobs
The distinction matters when comparing games. Wild helps form ordinary line matches. Scatter is counted across the grid to trigger particular features. Their artwork, purpose and availability differ by mode. Neither symbol appears in the classic three-reel game, so the home-page paytable has no substitution or Scatter rule. The same definitions apply on a phone and a desktop browser. Additional context is available in the site’s related guides.
Wild substitutes for paying symbols
Consider this rule alongside the active cabinet. In five-reel games, Wild can replace cherries, lemons, bells, BAR, sevens or diamonds in a consecutive run from the first reel. The engine also checks a run of Wilds against the Wild row. Only the highest qualifying award is retained for each line. Review one completed result at a time when comparing these details. Review the relevant page before using another mode.
Wild cannot become Scatter
A precise definition makes the screen easier to read. A visible Wild does not count toward the three-Scatter trigger. This is true even if it sits next to two Scatters or appears on a path crossing them. The separate roles prevent an ordinary line substitution from silently changing feature-trigger probabilities. The same definitions apply on a phone and a desktop browser.
Wild Slots adds a multiplier
One useful detail is explained below. Wild Slots doubles a qualifying line award when its matching run contains a Wild. The same extra multiplier does not apply to Video Slots, Bonus Slots or Practice Mode. Check the cabinet name and its rule panel before assuming a doubled amount. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation. Keep the current domain in view when checking saved information.
Respins can preserve Wilds
One useful detail is explained below. Respin Slots has an independent one-in-40 trigger after a paid spin. If triggered, every visible Wild stays locked for one free respin and other cells are redrawn. Keeping the Wilds changes the second grid's distribution, but the second result still needs qualifying lines to pay. A mode’s own paytable remains the reference for its awards. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.
Scatter finds a whole-grid trigger
Use this point when reading a result. In Bonus Slots, Hold & Collect and Pick Bonus, at least three Scatters anywhere in the paid grid trigger the corresponding feature. A Scatter has a 2% chance in each independently drawn cell in those modes. The count is not restricted to one Scatter per reel. The same definitions apply on a phone and a desktop browser. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.
Do not add an unstated Scatter award
This is part of understanding the current release. These games do not pay a direct Scatter-only credit prize. Ordinary line awards are settled first, and then the triggered feature supplies its own subsequent results. Collection symbols receive values after the collection feature begins; those values follow its separate rules. Read the active cabinet’s rule panel when applying this explanation. The visible interface identifies the feature currently in use.
Use the result panel to distinguish them
Start by identifying what the number describes. The result explanation names a Wild when it contributes to a paying match and reports when a feature starts. A feature counter or tile choice then shows the action available. This provides a clearer interpretation than judging a bonus solely from the reel artwork. A mode’s own paytable remains the reference for its awards.
