What are the symbols in slot machines?
Slot symbols are graphic representations of elements such as objects, animals, letters, etc. that appear on the reels.
For example, images of underwater world inhabitants such as fish, starfish, crabs, coral, etc. would be more likely if the action takes place in this world.
Also, regardless of the main theme, there are icons with card ranks (e.g. A, K, Q and J) and card suits (e.g. hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades). These usually have the lowest odds.
Two main classes of symbols are found in most slot machines:
- standard or basic;
- exclusive.
When a prize line or cluster falls out, standard-option pictures bring money, which visually complements the overall theme of the game. On the other hand, special symbols bring the video slot to life.
Special symbols in slot machines: there are always fewer special purpose symbols in a slot game than in the base game. They can trigger intriguing bonus games, where the biggest wins are usually hidden.
The Wild symbol, also known as the Wild, is a sort of wand of sorts. It increases the odds of winning by substituting for standard pictures to make up prize combinations when needed.
In most cases, these tiles have the appropriate inscription “Wild”, but sometimes they just have an image of some object or supreme deity on them. For example, in Spinomenal Studios’ Book of Tribes slot, the wild symbol is depicted as the golden book of the Aztec tribe.
Despite the fact that there are not always standalone rewards, there are tittles in which you can get a reward even for one play on the playing field. That said, the payout ratio is high.
More modern games include sticky and expanding wilds. Read this to learn more about the Wild icon and its “wild” power.
Scatter or Scatter Symbol Acquiring a certain number of these images on the screen during a single spin is very exciting. Why?
Scatter images trigger free spins, also called freespins, under certain conditions. In most cases, the coefficient will be very high, if the developer has provided for the accrual of a separate payout for the fallout of these elements. We have revealed all the secrets of the scatter symbol here.
