Slots Paytables

For new players especially, the payout table on a slots machine can be particularly difficult to understand. While on our free slots games you aren't wagering any cash, it's still helpful to know what prizes are on offer, which symbols you need to spin to access the bonus and free spins round, as well as which symbols offer the highest payout.We'll now take you through what you can expect to find on one of our free slots machine paytables, by using the paytable of our free slots game, Pirates Treasure:

While at first glance this paytable may look rather confusing, it's actually an invaluable aid to any slots player, whether you're playing for free or not. Now, let's work through the anatomy of the paytable:
At the bottom of the paytable, the usual bet, spin and balance options are available, but directly above this, several small graphs display the paylines on the slots machine. As you can see, Pirates Treasure features 9 paylines and these visual guides neatly display how these paylines work and interact with each other. Above the payline images, you'll find the bulk of the paytable and arguably the most important part; the symbols.
As you can see, each symbol comes with a prize attached and the numbers on the right correspond with how many symbols you'll need to win the prize on the left. The prominent symbols in Pirates Treasure, the pirate and pirate ship, are the wild and scatter symbols. Most slots players will agree that these are the symbols to look out for and you can find out what prizes they offer simply by reading the small descriptions of them.
So there we have it...The anatomy of a paytable! Once you've mastered this, your slots training is complete.
