In the context of slot gambling, a scatter is a symbol that unlocks a machine’s bonus features.
Unlike other symbols, scatters do not have to be lined up for the player to win. What is important, on the other hand, is the amount of scatters that appear on the reels. For example, in Play’n GO’s Wild Rails, getting 3 scatter symbols will award you 5 free spins, 4 scatters will give you 7 spins, and landing all 5 scatters on the reels will award you 10 free spins.
