Winning combinations in slot machines

The number of different slot machines exceeds several hundred, and therefore it is very difficult for beginners to understand the variety of winning combinations. In order to assess the profitability of a winning combination, there are tables of payments in each machine there is a special button, when you click on which a list of all winning combinations and payments for them appears on the screen.

Winning symbols in slot machines Pin-up Casino

First of all, it should be noted that the winning combinations in modern slots can be placed not on one horizontal line, but in almost any order – it depends on how many paylines you have chosen when placing a bet. In slot machines, the number of paylines can exceed 25, and they are located not only horizontally, but also vertically, diagonally, and so on. Accordingly, the symbols required to receive a prize or a bonus round may be placed in a different order. The location of the paylines can also be viewed in a special table.

The "cost" of a winning combination in slot machines – that is, the amount of money you get by collecting symbols in a combination – depends on many factors. First, it is the symbol itself: for example, in the popular machine "Strawberry" (Fruit Coctail) a combination of three cherries is paid 2 to 1, and a combination of three watermelons is 15 times more – 30 to 1.

Secondly, the number of symbols in the winning combination on the slot machine can be different – from three identical (plus two other any symbols) to five identical (and if the machine has more than 5 reels, then more). Accordingly, the more identical symbols in the combination, the more expensive it is. For example, in the already mentioned slot machine "Strawberry" for a combination of 3 apples (+ 2 any other symbol), the player receives a payout of 10 to 1, for 4 – 30 to 1, and collecting all 5 symbols of apples – 100 to 1.

Winning combinations with wild cards

Wild symbols (or "wild" symbols) in slot machines are the most profitable for the player, as they can replace any other symbol and, accordingly, improve the winning combination. For example, a combination of three identical symbols and a Joker is considered a winning combination of four identical symbols by default – and is paid accordingly.

But a much more interesting symbol in modern slot machines is the scatter symbol (the so-called "scatter" symbol), which, unlike all the others, can be located anywhere on the screen, on any line, and not strictly on the payline on which the player has placed. Scatter symbols can give access to bonus rounds (for example, a game for doubling), "give" the player free spins, and also act as a multiplier that increases the payout ratio.

On modern slot machines there are also special bonus symbols, which, as well as scatter symbols, give access to the prize games. For example, in the slot, "the Hulk" symbol "Smash Bonus symbol" starts the bonus game "Crushing blow", in which the prize significantly more profitable for the player than picking up any winning combinations on this slot machine.
