Multi-payline slots offer more fun than the classic single-payline games. With multi-payline online slots, players can cover more lines and more symbols. Yes, you have to gamble more per spin, but that's where the fun is: trying to hit that juicy jackpot.

Often when you play slots online, multi-payline games let you access lucrative bonus features. By hitting symbols on several of the paylines you can trigger free spins, instant wins, or a wheel of fortune feature.

• Adjustable/variable paylines - you can place your bets on the paylines of your choice. You don’t have to bet and activate all paylines.
• Fixed paylines - you have to place a bet on all paylines in play.
• 243 win possibilities - you guessed it, these have 243 ways to win.
• Win-both-ways slots - players can win from left to right, and right to left across the payline.

Multi-payline slots include numerous ways to win that single payline slots don't offer. Included are scatter and wild symbols, which increase your chances of winning; bonus rounds that offer additional prizes, and the chance to win extra spins. These are typical of most developers' online video slots:

• Wilds - These symbols substitute for every other symbol, except the bonus icons. Wilds will sometimes come with a multiplier applied (2x, 3x, etc) to your wins. Wilds can even expand to fill the reels.

• Scatter Pays - Otherwise known as scatters, these are symbols that pay out wherever they hit the online slot's multi-payline reels. Scatters will usually activate a bonus feature when you land three or more of them anywhere.

• Progressive Jackpots - These are special jackpots made up of a percentage of each wager. Jackpots can be triggered at random or by lining up symbols on the final payline.

• Big-Payline Slots - Some developers up the action by offering as many paylines as they can. By covering lines that run right-to-left as well as left-to-right, certain slots can have over 1,000 paylines in total. Of course, you don't need to bet hundreds per spin. Typically, you will pay a set stake across ALL paylines automatically.
