Usually triggered by landing a specific symbol such as a bonus, scatter, or wild, or by filling a reel; some games trigger respins automatically when the condition is met.
Most respins are awarded for free as part of the feature after the trigger; a few games let you buy respins with an additional bet.
The number varies by game, commonly 2–10; some titles allow retriggers if more triggering symbols appear during the respins.
