Slot features

Slot features explained, with the slots that have them

A slot's features decide how it pays: how the bonus round triggers, how big a win can get and how long you wait between wins. Each feature page explains the mechanic and lists the slots we list that have it.

Counts are the slots we list tagged with each feature. Tagging is still in progress for the newer feature pages, so a low count means few tags, not few slots.

Wild and scatter symbols are the most common tags. Megaways is matched by name, because the licensed Megaways mark always appears in the title; the other features rely on tags.

FAQ

Which slot feature pays the most?

No feature changes a slot's RTP on its own. Features decide how the return is spread: free spins and multipliers move more of it into rare, large wins, while frequent small wins come from the base game.

Are bonus buy slots worth it?

Buying the bonus skips the wait but costs a large multiple of your stake each time, often 100×. The RTP of the buy is close to the base game, so the expected loss per shilling is similar while the shillings at risk rise sharply. See bonus buy slots.

What is the difference between a wild and a scatter?

A wild substitutes for other symbols to complete a win. A scatter pays or triggers a feature wherever it lands. Some slots, such as Book of Dead, use one symbol for both jobs.

Play only with money you can afford to lose

Slots are for adults aged 18 and over. Decide your budget in shillings before you open a game, keep sessions short and never top up to win back a loss. Every cost on this page is an average over many spins: a single session can end well above or well below it.
