 How to read the pay table

The Paytable in a video slots game acts like a key, explaining the value of each symbol in the game. Each symbol has assigned to it a certain number value. The win amount is determined based on the number that the Paytable shows for a certain symbol multiplied by the line bet value that the player determines before he/she spins the reels. You can reference the Paytable and use the following formula to calculate what your win will be: Bet Value (Player sets this before spinning) x the number the Paytable shows for total number of hits for any given symbol = win amount.

The paytable can be accessed by clicking the paytable icon on the left lower side of the screen.
On mobile, inside the game setting pages, the paytable can be accessed by clicking on the paytable icon in the middle of the screen.
