Every slot term
explained simply

All the jargon you'll see in game info panels, reviews, and casino pages — decoded the way a friend would explain it. No rulebook language, no wasted words.

Why knowing the terminology actually matters

Slot games aren't complicated, but they do have a specific vocabulary. When a game panel says "96.95% RTP" and "medium volatility," those two numbers tell you everything about what to expect from a session — if you know how to read them.

If you're new to PG Soft slots, start with RTP, volatility, and cascade — those three terms explain roughly 80% of how these games behave.

Frequently asked questions

What does RTP mean in PG Soft slots?

RTP stands for Return to Player — the theoretical percentage of all wagered money a slot returns over millions of spins. A 96.95% RTP means the game returns $96.95 per $100 wagered long-term.

What is a cascade mechanic in a slot game?

A cascade means winning symbols disappear after a win and new ones fall to replace them. If the new symbols form another win, the process repeats — all within the same paid spin.

What is the difference between a Wild and a Scatter?

A Wild substitutes for other symbols to help form winning combinations. A Scatter pays out or triggers features regardless of where it lands. In most PG Soft games, landing 3+ Scatters triggers Free Spins.

What does volatility mean in a PG Soft slot?

Volatility describes how a game distributes its wins. High volatility means long dry spells but larger wins when they hit. Medium volatility is most common in popular PG Soft titles.
