Scatter Symbol
A special symbol in a slot game that can trigger a payout or a bonus feature regardless of its position on the paylines.
Unlike standard symbols that must line up on specific paylines, the Scatter Symbol pays out or triggers a feature simply by appearing a certain number of times (usually three or more) anywhere on the reels.
The primary function of the scatter is typically to activate the game’s main bonus feature, most commonly a round of Free Spins. Landing the required number of scatters is often the main objective for players seeking the game’s biggest win potential.
