Features shape the experience.

Tumbling games remove winning symbols and evaluate their replacements. Pay-anywhere games count qualifying symbols across an area, while cluster games require groups of adjacent symbols. These describe different aspects of a game and are not interchangeable.

A free-spins feature is a triggered sequence. A respin is another spin under a particular game rule. Multipliers can attach to symbols, positions, wins or an entire feature; always read the game rules to understand the difference.

Two games can share a theme while using completely different mechanics. When exploring alternatives, compare how wins are formed and how bonus features work, alongside the visual world.
