Pay table

Pay table

A pay table is the name for the list of payouts on a slot machine or a video poker machine. The table shows for each combination of symbols and the number of coins bet, how many coins the bettor will win.

On older machines and some newer reel machines, the pay table is listed on the face of the machine, usually above and below the area containing the wheels.

Each machine has a table that lists the number of credits the player will receive if the symbols listed on the pay table line up on the pay line of the machine. The pay table details where the symbols must be for the bettor to be paid. In general, the symbols must be centered directly under the pay line on the machine. Video slot machines generally will only display the pay line for lines that are winners.

Some machines offer symbols that are 'wild' and will pay if they are visible in any position, even if they are not on the pay line. These wild symbols may also count for any other symbol on the pay table.

Most video machines display the pay table when the player presses a "pay table" button or touches "pay table" on the screen; some have the pay table listed on the cabinet as well.
