Diagram of scatter symbol on a 5 reel slot

In the diagram above you can see how 2 scatter symbols have fallen randomly on the reels and that this has resulted in a payout of 50 coins which you can see in the "win" window on the bottom right hand corner of the slot below the reels.

Scatter symbols are not confined within the parameters of other symbols, this symbol can appear anywhere on the reels of a slot machine and doesn’t have to fall on any particular payline to give you a win.

Although the number of scatter symbols required for a win can vary from slot to slot the general principal remains the same. They can be found onall types of slot machines including classic slots, progressive slots, bonus slots, gamble slots and 5 reel slots.
