Paytable
What is Paytable?
The paytable is a built-in reference screen in every slot machine that lists all symbols, their payout values for each possible combination, and the rules for every special feature in the game. It also shows the number of active paylines, bonus trigger conditions, and in some games the declared RTP and volatility. It is the authoritative source for all game rules.
Typical contents
The paytable ranks symbols from highest to lowest value and shows the credits or multipliers awarded for landing two, three, four, or five matching symbols on a payline. It also explains the behavior of Wilds, Scatters, bonus triggers, and any special mechanics such as cascades or multipliers.
How to access it
In an online slot, the paytable is reached via an info or help button, usually marked with an “i” or ”?” icon. It can be opened before starting a session or during a pause between spins without affecting the game state.
Why it matters
Reading the paytable before playing reveals which symbols carry the most value, how bonus rounds are triggered, and what the theoretical win cap is. No external description overrides the paytable, which represents the actual programmed rules of that specific game version.
