Paylines, ways and clusters

These systems describe how symbol combinations are evaluated. They do not predict the next result.

Paylines

Specified paths determine which symbol combinations qualify. Check whether the displayed bet covers all lines and how the credit value changes the total cost.

Ways

Ways systems usually evaluate matching symbols on adjacent reels without a single fixed path. The exact reel and symbol rules belong to the title’s help screen.

Clusters

Cluster games evaluate groups of touching matching symbols under title-specific rules. Cascades or repeat features can change the animation, not the randomness of the next outcome.
