Rounds that cost nothing from the balance
A free spins round is where most of a modern slot keeps its return. The base game pays the small wins that keep a session going, and the round pays the ones the paytable is actually built around, which is why a session that never triggers it looks nothing like the published average.
Fills in for ordinary paying symbols
Restrictions on the wild matter more than its presence. A wild barred from the first reel, or from the bonus round, or from the top symbol, changes the maths considerably while the feature list still reads the same as everyone else.
Counts from any position on the field
The number of scatters needed is a design lever rather than a detail. Two scatters plus a retrigger rule produces a very different session shape from a flat requirement of four, even when the published return figure is identical.
A meter fills with banked symbols
Nominated symbols are put aside in a meter as rounds go by, and hitting the stated mark opens a feature or hands over a prize. Whether the meter survives a closed session is a per title decision.
A prize pool outside the paytable
The jackpot is not part of the paytable and has a trigger of its own, commonly a symbol collection or a wheel. A fixed one always pays the same figure, while a progressive one grows out of a slice of every stake played until it is claimed.
Adds rounds to a feature in progress
Trigger symbols landing again while the feature is running extend it rather than opening a second one. Whether that can repeat without limit or stops at a stated ceiling is set by the individual title.
Each payout pattern is drawn in advance and printed in the paytable, and a symbol earns nothing unless it sits on one of those patterns. Three identical symbols can be visible on screen and still be worth nothing because one of them landed a row above the line.
5 reels of 3 rows, 15 positions in total.
Small payouts come often enough to hold the balance near its starting point through long stretches of play. What is given up in return is the top of the paytable, which has little bearing on how an ordinary session unfolds.
The ceiling recorded in the dataset is 21,265x the stake.
