A feature trigger is the in-game condition — usually a set number of scatter symbols landing in one spin — that opens the bonus round where multipliers and prize-style payouts activate.

Volatility describes how a slot distributes payouts. High volatility means fewer wins but larger prize-round payouts when they hit; low volatility means smaller, more frequent returns across base spins.

An expanding wild is a symbol that stretches to cover an entire reel when it lands, substituting for other symbols across all rows on that reel to create more winning combinations.

RTP stands for Return to Player, a percentage the game studio publishes showing expected long-run payout rates across millions of spins. It is a statistical average, not a session-by-session promise.

A multiplier stack means each successive feature event in the bonus round adds to a running multiplier rather than replacing it, so later wins in the same round are paid at a higher rate than earlier ones.

A prize-style feature is a bonus mechanic — often a pick screen or wheel — where the game assigns a fixed reward from a preset prize pool rather than calculating a standard symbol-match payout.
