Multiplier
What is Multiplier?
A multiplier is a numerical factor applied to a win to amplify its value. A x5 multiplier on a 10-credit win produces 50 credits. Multipliers appear on Wild symbols, during free spins rounds, or through special mechanics. They can be fixed, progressive, or cumulative depending on the rules of the specific game.
Types of multipliers
Fixed multipliers always apply the same value (x2, x3, etc.). Progressive multipliers increase with each spin during a bonus round: a game might start at x1 and climb to x10 or higher with each consecutive spin. Some games activate multiple simultaneous multipliers that compound together.
Multipliers and maximum win
A game’s maximum win (max win) often depends on combining the highest available multiplier with the top-paying symbols. High-volatility games frequently rely on large, rare multipliers to achieve the headline max-win figure advertised in the game spec.
Where to find them
Multipliers appear in varied contexts: Wild symbols with a built-in multiplier, a counter that rises during free spins, a prize tile on a bonus wheel, or a cascade mechanic. Details are always specified in the game’s paytable.
