Read reel height and the active bonus separately
Matching symbols on successive reels form ways. Multiple matching positions multiply the number of combinations, but most available ways need not be winning ones. A larger printed ways count alone cannot explain a larger payout.
The Dog House offers retained or newly placed WILD symbols. Bandit has dynamite values; Floating Dragon includes separate cash-symbol features. Megaways identifies the ordinary layout, while each title supplies its own bonus calculations.
