Is the animation or new paid round visible?

A slot round can have several stages: base spin, cascade or feature animation. Read when there is a new stake and when it is just a presentation of the previously confirmed round. The distinction is important so that the session record and animation count are not mixed up.

If three animation stages are shown but only one round ID is in the history, check the documented feature sequence. An extra paid-round count should not be made from visuals alone.

  • Paid-round boundary
  • Animation and feature stages
  • Confirmed history entry
Example to review

In five-round checklist, there are three rounds with returns but only one with profit. Count confirmed rounds and total returns, not just the animation.

Additional checklist

With Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter, there is a separate question about the feature itself. Read the Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter: the instant entry prize is separate from the free-spin awards for documented rules and clear hypothetical examples.

For Mining Rush, separate mine-level progress from a new mine’s extra-spin award before reading a counter change.

Each change of reels on display is not a new bet.

Prioritize the rules screen itself and current operator conditions. If there is an unclear unit, trigger or scope, don’t make assumptions.
