Game Terms: Wilds, Scatters, Respins and Side Bets
Updated
Wild
A wild substitutes according to an edition's symbol rules. In Starburst, the expanding star also triggers a respin. A wild should not automatically be described as replacing every special symbol.
Scatter
A scatter has its own qualifying pattern or feature condition. Book of Dead uses scatters to enter its expanding-symbol free spins. The required count belongs to that edition.
Respin and free spin
These both describe further reel activity, but their rules differ. A respin feature may retain positions or reset a counter; a free-spin sequence may use a selected symbol or a continuing multiplier. Read what persists between spins.
Side bet
A side bet is an additional wager with its own conditions. Evolution Teen Patti evaluates Pair Plus and 6 Card Bonus separately from Ante and Play.
RTP
Return to Player is a theoretical long-run measure for a specified game configuration. It is not a personal session prediction or a promise of profit. A quoted figure must match the exact edition and configuration.
