Find My UK Casino talks to Mike Rothenberg from High 5 Games to provide everything you need to know about the role of Scatter Symbols within online slots

SCATTER SYMBOLS: WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WORK

Scatter symbols are a slots player’s best friend. They are designed to unlock free spins, mini-games, and additional bonuses to add an extra layer of excitement to the slot experience.

Appearing on the earliest land-based slot machines, scatter symbols were originally red cherries which paid out wherever they showed up.

With the popularity and innovation of modern slots, particularly online slots, they now come in many different guises and unlock many different rewards.

Typically, scatters are one of the highest paying symbols on today’s games. Knowing how they work helps maximize a player’s chance of winning and, ultimately, enhances the overall experience.

High 5 Games also uses scatter symbols in the majority of its games, which can be played at popular online casino brands including Mr Green, Foxy Casino and Videoslots.

We asked Mike Rothenberg, Executive Producer of B2B/Game Innovation at High 5 Games, to tell us more about how scatter symbols work and why developers include them in their games.
