After selecting your bet size and amount of paylines that you wish to bet on, you will have to spin the slot, generally, the icon to spin is on the right-hand side of the screen, although depending on the game provider you can also click the spacebar to spin, if you're on a PC/laptop, for some game providers you may have to enable the feature from the game settings.
Matching Symbols:
Once the reels stop spinning, the combination of symbols on the payline determines if you have won. Different symbol combinations offer different payouts, with higher payouts for rarer combinations.Bonus Features:
Many modern slot machines include bonus rounds or special features, which are triggered by certain symbol combinations or random events. Bonus rounds can give players the chance to win extra prizes or free spins.Progressive Jackpots:
