Check which combinations pay, what unit the table uses and how special symbols affect a round before interpreting an advertised multiplier.
Open the information or paytable for the exact game version and coin mode you are viewing. First identify the play amount. Then read the winning combination, the line or pattern it must occupy, and whether the displayed award is a coin amount or a multiplier.
What does a special symbol actually do?
In NetEnt’s Starburst, the star Wild expands on its reel, substitutes for paying symbols and triggers a respin. That tells you which combinations or additional reel activity to inspect when reading a result. A similar star icon in another title may have a different rule. NetEnt’s Starburst game description
The desktop Starburst game sheet shows a two-page paytable under the Information button and a layout with ten fixed lines. At the example setting of one coin per line, ten lines use ten coins for the round. Check which basis the award is expressed on before doing any multiplication. Provider game sheet, pages 2-5
How to interpret the amount
Suppose a sample paytable explicitly defines an award as five times a 2-GC play. The award is 10 GC. If another screen shows 10 as a fixed coin amount, multiplying it again would double-count the play size. Check whether a line value, total play or fixed unit forms the basis of the award.
A table describes possible outcomes. It does not tell you when a particular result will occur. A GC result remains in GC, and an SC result is subject to the separate sweepstakes rules. If the screen froze before you could see the outcome, use the account’s round record. Trace an interrupted round
Some games also display a separate pool. Check the jackpot participation rules for its currency and eligible rounds.
