What does Scatter Symbol mean in slots?

A Scatter Symbol is a special symbol that usually works not through a payline, but through the fact that it appears on the reels.

How does it work?

In standard slots, a win often depends on a payline. A scatter works differently: if the required number of scatter symbols appears anywhere on the screen, it can trigger a feature, a bonus round, or free spins. That is why scatter symbols are considered some of the most important special symbols in a slot. They do not just take part in the game. They often unlock the main bonus feature.
