Scatter pays slots: wins from anywhere on the grid
On a scatter pays slot every symbol pays like a scatter: you need enough of the same symbol anywhere in view, with no lines or adjacent reels involved. Pragmatic Play's pay-anywhere games pay for 8 or more matching symbols on a 6×5 grid.

Short answer
What does scatter pays mean?
A win counts the number of matching symbols on screen, not where they sit. Eight of one symbol anywhere on a Gates of Olympus or Sweet Bonanza grid is a win, and more symbols pay more. These games almost always tumble, so one spin can pay several times.
- Typical minimum
- 8 symbols on a 6×5 grid

How it works
How a pay-anywhere spin is counted
Pay by size band
The paytable pays bands such as 8–9, 10–11 and 12 or more of a symbol.
Tumble
Winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in, which can form a new count.
What it means: This differs from a scatter symbol, which only triggers a feature or pays as one special symbol.

FAQ
Is scatter pays the same as a scatter symbol?
No. A scatter symbol is one special symbol that pays or triggers a bonus wherever it lands. Scatter pays applies that rule to every symbol. See scatter symbols.
Is Sugar Rush a scatter pays slot?
No. Sugar Rush pays for clusters of touching symbols, which is a different rule even though it also tumbles.
