Once, twice, three times a winner with slot multipliers!

We love nothing more than the thrill of the win. Slot games are uniquely designed to not only make your win exciting, but to actively celebrate it. And in this world where players are always on the lookout for the next great gaming experience, game designers and online casinos have to keep stepping up their game.

But how on earth can you make winning more exciting than winning? Why, by making that win bigger than anyone could have ever imagined, naturally! Enter the slot multiplier, the best thing to happen to both the online gambling and casino slot worlds.

But what on earth is a multiplier, anyway? Look, we know primary school maths was a long time ago, but it’s not that complicated. It is, in fact, exactly as simple as it sounds. It’s a number by which your win is multiplied, in order to award you anywhere from twice to hundreds of times your initial win.

Multipliers are a unique and separate feature of certain slot games that can come in many formats and sizes. They don’t affect, nor are they affected by, the complexity of the game, the number and type of payline, or any of the other features, as a rule.

How do slot multipliers work?

Every online slot you play will have certain built-in triggers that activate a multiplier. These triggers can come in the form of a wild, a scatter symbol, or some other predesignated symbol in the game. A game can have a single trigger, or multiple.

Symbols as triggers

Whether it’s a wild buffalo, an Arabian princess, a wild deuce, or an ominous magical tome, trigger symbols can activate various types of multipliers, depending on the game’s design. For the most part, they will somehow be designated as ‘special’ symbols, with more graphics, greater detail, and more design effort than the simpler symbols.

A game may have one symbol that triggers a multiplier, possibly in the form of a mini-game, or it can have multiple symbols that trigger different multipliers.

Mini-games and spins as triggers

Many slots offered in online casinos include some kind of mini-game. These are not always multipliers – they can also be bonus games – but frequently, they act as a multiplier. One version of these types of mini-game is a wheel of fortune that spins to select your multiplier. Once it is done spinning, your win is multiplied by the relevant number, and pays out.

Mini-games come in a massive variety of formats as unique and varied as the slot games themselves. It’s always a good idea to familiarise yourself with any online slot you intend to play, so that you fully understand how the slot multipliers work alongside things like paylines, wilds, jackpots and other game features.
