Terms worth knowing

RTP: the theoretical long-run return. Volatility: how uneven the results are. Payline: a pattern that can form a win. Ways to win: adjacent symbols rather than fixed lines. Megaways: a mechanic where the number of symbols per reel changes.

Free spins: a feature inside the game, or a casino promotion. They are not the same thing. Wild: a substitute symbol. Scatter: a symbol that often triggers a feature without sitting on a payline. Bonus buy: paying to enter the feature immediately. Many UK games do not offer it.
