How to Play Expedition Slots

Updated •6 min read•Complete guide

Expedition Slots puts you deep inside an ancient dungeon — five reels of artefacts and relics, five paylines, and a scatter mechanic that hands out free spins when you find enough of them. It's a classic slot formula with real depth in the symbol ladder.

Land 3+ matching symbols from the left on any of the 5 paylines. Hit 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid to unlock 5 free spins — the most valuable thing in the game.

What is Expedition Slots?

Expedition Slots is a 5-reel, 3-row slot machine with an archaeological theme — you're raiding a dungeon filled with stones, torches, keys, orbs, gems, crystals, and relics. The relic is the jackpot symbol, worth up to 1,250× your bet for five across a payline.

It plays on 5 fixed paylines: the top row, middle row, bottom row, a V-shape (outer rows dipping to middle in the centre), and an inverted V-shape (middle rows rising to outer at the centre). Wins on multiple paylines in the same spin are added together.

The scatter symbol is the wildcard that can appear on any reel. Three or more of them landing anywhere on the grid — regardless of paylines — triggers the free spins bonus. That's where the big sessions tend to come from.

How to play, step by step

  1. Set your bet — choose a stake between 10 and 5,000 chips per spin.
  2. Spin — the 5×3 grid fills with symbols randomly.
  3. Wins are checked — the game scans all 5 paylines. Any line with 3+ matching symbols from the leftmost reel pays out. Multiple winning lines pay simultaneously.
  4. Scatters are checked separately — if 3 or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the grid, free spins are awarded regardless of paylines.
  5. Collect or spin again — winnings are added to your balance automatically.

  • Middle row — all 5 symbols in row 2
  • Bottom row — all 5 symbols in row 3

Symbols and payouts

Seven regular symbols plus one scatter. Payouts are multipliers of your bet for matching 3, 4, or 5 symbols from the left on a payline. The rarer the symbol, the bigger the payout.

Multiple payline wins in a single spin stack — if you hit a 3-torch win on the middle row and a 3-key win on the V-shape at the same time, you collect both payouts.

Free spins — the scatter bonus

Landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the 5×3 grid — they don't need to be on a payline — triggers 5 free spins. These spins use your current bet size and run automatically. Any wins during free spins count normally.

The scatter is the most valuable thing in the game. Since it can appear on any reel and doesn't need to follow a payline, three scatters have a reasonable chance of showing up during a normal session. When they do, the five free spins give you five extra chances at payline wins without touching your balance.

Free spins can themselves trigger additional scatters — if 3+ scatter symbols land during the bonus round, you can win more free spins on top.

Strategy tips

Bet sizing matters a lot hereSince the max win is 1,250× your bet, the absolute value of a relic jackpot scales directly with stake. If you're chasing the top end, a higher bet makes sense — but keep enough chips to last through variance.
The scatter is your main eventMedium volatility means wins come regularly, but the big moments are the free spin triggers. Patience pays off — keep spinning and let the scatter bonus come to you.
Multiple paylines mean more frequent small winsWith 5 paylines active, you'll hit 3-of-a-kind stone or torch fairly often. These won't make your session, but they extend it — which gives scatters more chances to land.

FAQ

Do wins on different paylines stack?

Yes. If two or more paylines produce wins on the same spin, all of them pay out simultaneously. Your total win is the sum of all winning payline payouts.

Does the scatter symbol count on paylines?

No. Scatter symbols only trigger the free spins bonus when 3 or more land anywhere on the grid. They never pay out as a payline match.

How often do free spins trigger?

It depends on RNG, but with a scatter weight of 4 out of 100 on each reel, getting 3+ across a 5×3 grid happens regularly enough to be a real part of the gameplay experience.

What's the best symbol to aim for?

The relic symbol pays up to 1,250× for five-of-a-kind, but it's very rare. In practice, crystal (500×) and gem (200×) five-of-a-kind hits are the big wins most players celebrate.

Are all 5 paylines always active?

Yes — all 5 paylines are permanently active. You can't select fewer. Your bet covers all 5 lines every spin.
