In the world of slots a payline is a pre-set pattern – so by landing a specific sequence of symbols you’ll be awarded a payout according to the game’s paytable. Some games give you control over the number of paylines, which can be in a zig-zag formation, as well as diagonal, vertical, and horizontal. When it comes to ways-to-win, these can range from 243 and up, and can award payouts if you land matching symbols adjacent to one another on the reels.
