A multiplier in online slot games is a feature that increases the payout of a winning combination by a predetermined factor. This factor can be as simple as doubling (2x) the winnings or can increase the payout by much larger amounts, such as 3x, 5x, 10x, or even higher. Multipliers can appear during regular spins or during bonus rounds and can apply to specific symbol combinations, entire wins from a spin, or progressive throughout a game or feature. The main function of multipliers is to enhance the potential winnings, making the gameplay more exciting and potentially more rewarding.
How They Activate
Multipliers can be triggered in various ways depending on the game. Commonly, they activate during a winning combination involving specific symbols designated as multiplier symbols. They can also activate during bonus rounds or free spins.
