The rules of playing online slots are very straightforward. Regardless of which game you are playing the aim is always the same, to land matching symbols on the reels.
There are predetermined paths that pass through the reels, from the leftmost to the rightmost, and these are called paylines. The aim is to land the matching symbols on these paylines. As long as you land enough matching symbols then you will win a payout. The number of symbols required will vary from slot to slot, but it is usually at least three.
In the vast majority of slots, it is necessary to land these winning combinations starting from the leftmost reel, i.e. there is a symbol on the first reel, then the second, the third, and so on. However, in some games, you may be able to land winning combinations in the opposite direction, from the rightmost reel, and a few games will even allow for winning combinations to start from the second or third reel.
Slots often have a number of bonus features and the rules regarding these can be found in the games’ paytables. For instance, wild symbols will often substitute for all of the other symbols, except for scatter or bonus symbols. Scatter symbols are special symbols that will payout when they land scattered across the reels, i.e. they don’t have to land along paylines. There may be other features, such as free spins or bonus games, and it is important to check the paytable for the rules governing these.
