A hold-and-respin locks specific symbols in place while the remaining reels spin again. It typically fires when a set number of matching symbols land in a single round, giving you extra chances to complete a pattern.

Volatility describes how a slot distributes payouts over time. High-volatility reels pay out less often but in larger amounts per hit. Low-volatility titles pay smaller amounts more frequently across a session.

A stacked wild fills an entire reel column with wild symbols in a single spin. It substitutes for most other symbols and can complete multiple pay lines at once, depending on the game's paytable.

RTP stands for return-to-player — the theoretical percentage of wagered money a slot returns over a very large number of spins. It's a studio-published figure, not a per-session promise or payout certainty.

A scatter pays regardless of its position on the reels and doesn't need to land on an active pay line. Landing a required number of scatters usually triggers the game's main feature round.

A pay line is a fixed path across reels where matching symbols must land to count as a win. Ways-to-win slots pay when matching symbols appear on adjacent reels in any position, often offering 243 or more combinations.
