Multipliers in slots are features that increase the payout of a winning combination by a specified factor. When a multiplier is triggered, it multiplies the total win by the given value, which can range from 2x to much higher amounts, depending on the game. Multipliers can appear in different ways, such as during bonus rounds, free spins, or when specific symbols land on the reels. For example, if you land a multiplier symbol during a winning spin, your payout for that spin will be multiplied by the factor associated with that symbol, potentially leading to significantly higher winnings.
