Paylines:

Unlike vintage machines that paid out only when three identical symbols lined up horizontally, modern games use multiple reels and symbols to create winning combinations. Winning combinations are based on the probabilities of specific symbol patterns and may include scatters that activate game bonuses or wilds that substitute for other symbols to form winning combinations. This information is displayed on the machine’s pay table, which can be physically located on the machine or integrated into its digital screen for online slots. Understanding the pay table can help players maximize their chances of winning and improve their overall gaming experience.
