Slots with scatter symbols

A scatter counts wherever it lands, with no line or adjacent reel needed. On most slots three or more scatters trigger free spins; on some they also pay a multiple of your total stake.

Short answer

What does a scatter symbol do?

It triggers the slot's bonus, usually free spins, when enough land anywhere on the reels. Scatter wins, where they exist, are paid on the total stake rather than a line stake, and wilds usually cannot replace a scatter.

FAQ

Do scatters need to land on a payline?

No. That is what makes them scatters: they count anywhere in view.

What is the difference between scatter symbols and scatter pays?

A scatter symbol is one special symbol. In a scatter pays slot, every symbol pays by count anywhere on the grid.
