When it comes to playing slots, it never ceases to amaze us that so many players dive right into the game without even taking a look at the pay table. It’s important for slot players to take the time to check out the pay table because it can tell them all sorts of things about how the game works.

A pay table can be found at the bottom of a slot’s screen. It displays a table that shows the different symbols in the slot, how much they pay out when they land on a payline, and if there are any special symbols that can help you trigger bonus features or jackpots. The pay table may also show how much you can win when you line up a certain number of the same symbols in a row.

The pay table may be displayed in a variety of ways, but it will usually match the theme of the slot and use bright colours to make it easy to read. It can also be split up into pages or slides that you can cycle through if it’s not all on one screen.

Some slots also have information about the house edge, which is how much you will lose if you keep playing. This is important to know because it will let you decide if the slot is worth playing or not. You can find this information in the pay table or ask a slot attendant.
