Understanding Slot Gaming Features

To get a further understanding of slots, you need to understand the various features delivered by most of these slot game. The common features include wild symbol, scatter symbols, multipliers, auto play, skill stop, gamble feature and many others. Understanding the gaming features will enable you to experience great gaming action and most of all you will be knowing what you are aiming for.

The wild symbol is a common feature offered by all slot games. It substitutes any symbol to complete a winning combination. For instance, if a payout winning combination constitutes of 5 cherry symbols, hitting 4 cherries and a wild symbol awards the payout of 5 cherries at which the wild symbol substitutes to a cherry symbol thereby completing a winning combination.  

At time, the wild symbol can also act as a multiplier at which when it completes a winning combination it can awards a multiplier value to it. However, this feature known as wild multiplier symbol varies from one slot game to another.  With advanced slots that offer scatters and bonus rounds, the wild symbol does not substitute scatters or bonus symbols. A winning combination is awarded on an active payline. 

Scatter symbol symbols are common with exclusive and bonus slots. Scatters are responsible for awarding multiplier values as well as triggering the bonus round if no bonus symbols are being used. The scatters can appear anywhere on the reels on any payline (active or non-active) to trigger an entry. Scatters give the player the opportunity to trigger more credits on a single spin due to multipliers awarded when players hit tow or more scatters together with a winning combination. 

The most common bonus feature offered by most slots is the free spin bonus round. The bonus round is usually triggered when you hit three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, You get to receive free spins and win more credits. Other bonus rounds are activated when you hit three or more of the bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the bonus round. 

The gamble feature is an interesting feature offered by a few online slot manufacturers. The gamble feature is triggered anytime you hit a winning combination. Once activated, you get an opportunity to either double or triple you winning combination by either guessing the outcome color or suit of the next card to show on screen. A wrong guess forfeits your credits for that particular winning combination. Players can either opt or cancel the gamble feature when ever you hit a winning combination. 

The auto play feature and skill stop enables you to set the slot machine to play your credits automatically. You can set the number of spins you wish to be played automatically as well as set the machine to stop when a winning combination has been triggered or when a bonus round has been activated.
