What Does Payline Mean?

A payline is one of the most important features of a slot machine. It is the line on which a payout is awarded based on winning combinations. The more lines you play, the higher your chances of winning—but also, the higher the cost per spin.

To check possible winnings and payouts, always refer to the paytable, typically found within the main gaming screen. It includes paylines, payout odds, winning combinations, and bonus event details.

Examples:

  • Classic 3 reels, 1 payline
  • 5 reels, 25 paylines
  • 5 reels, 60 paylines
  • 5 reels, 243 paylines
