An increasing multiplier starts at a base value and grows during a feature (like free spins or bonus rounds), boosting your payout as the multiplier rises.
They typically activate or increase during bonus features when certain symbols land or a re-spin is awarded, with each qualifying spin potentially raising the multiplier.
It depends on the game; some multipliers apply to every winning line, while others affect only wins within the feature where the multiplier is active.
Multipliers often start at 1x or 2x and can rise to higher values like 5x, 10x, or more, but the exact range varies by title.
They are most common in bonus features such as free spins, but some games also include base-game multiplier wilds that increase during regular spins.
The game’s base RTP stays the same, but the multiplier feature increases potential payouts and can feel more volatile during the feature.
Some games have jackpots or top prizes that scale with multipliers, but not all; multipliers mainly boost regular prize wins within the feature.
Triggering usually involves landing scatters or wilds or entering a bonus/free-spin round, with some games allowing multipliers to grow on consecutive spins.
