Scatter symbols typically activate bonus features such as bonus spins, mini-games, or other special rewards. The exact function of scatter symbols can vary from game to game, but here are some common features:
Bonus Spins
Landing a certain number of scatter symbols (usually three or more) can trigger a free spin round, where you get a set number of spins without having to place additional bets.
Bonus Games
Scatter symbols can also unlock bonus games, which are mini games within the slot that offer additional chances to win.
Multipliers
In some slots, scatter symbols can multiply your winnings by a certain factor, increasing your payout significantly.
Triggering Scatter Features
The number of scatter symbols required to trigger a feature varies by game. Typically, you need at least three scatter symbols to activate a bonus feature. The more scatter symbols you land, the better the rewards can be.
