How Taiko Beats actually works

Free spins

Rounds that cost nothing from the balance

The trigger is the scatter count, and most games scale the award: three scatters open the shortest round, four or five open longer ones. What the round is worth depends far more on the modifier attached to it than on how many spins it hands out.

Sticky wilds

Wilds remain for the rest of the round

Rather than clearing when the field turns again, the wild holds its position until the round is over. Inside a free spins round that means the number of substitutes on screen only grows as the round runs down.

Multiplier

Scales the payout it is attached to

Where the multiplier sits in the chain decides everything about it. One that applies to a single symbol changes a small win into a slightly larger one; one that applies to the whole screen after a cascade is the mechanism behind the numbers in the maximum win line.

Scatter

Counts from any position on the field

Because the scatter ignores position, it is the one symbol whose odds do not change when the grid shape does. Games that expand the grid during a round therefore usually pay more per spin without triggering the bonus any more often.

Wild

Fills in for ordinary paying symbols

A wild takes the place of most ordinary symbols so a combination that lands one short still resolves. Scatters and bonus symbols are normally outside what it can copy, which is why it lifts everyday payouts but does nothing for the odds of reaching the feature round.

Jackpot

A prize pool outside the paytable

A jackpot is funded out of the same return figure as everything else, so a game that advertises one pays slightly less in normal play than the same game without. The published percentage already includes the jackpot contribution, whether or not anyone in your session wins it.

Bonus rounds in Taiko Beats

How Taiko Beats pays

Matching symbols count when they appear on neighbouring reels reading from the left, whichever row they happen to land in. Because the total is a product of the symbols available on each reel, these titles quote figures such as 243 or 1,024 instead of a line count.

5 reels of 3 rows, 15 positions in total.

High

Extended runs with nothing meaningful are the normal state of the game, and most of the published return is carried by the bonus round. That figure describes millions of rounds rather than the session in front of you.

The ceiling recorded in the dataset is 4,005x the stake.

The dataset gives 96.61 percent as the long-run return, averaged over millions of rounds.
