What is Multiplier?
A value that multiplies a win by a set amount. Multipliers can appear in base games, free spins, or bonus rounds. In cascading reel games, multipliers often increase with each consecutive win.
Real-World Example
A 3× multiplier on a £10 win pays £30. An unlimited multiplier in a free spins round that reaches 25× on a £20 win pays £500.
