How to read a wall label

Every work in the gallery has a small card beside it. Here is what each line tells you.

Walk into any museum and the first thing you look at is the painting. The second is the little card to its right. We have borrowed that habit: every game in Stolave hangs with a wall label, and each line on it means something.

The title

The name of the work, exactly as it appears in the game. Select it to open the full label page, with the rules at a glance, the game’s symbols and its neighbours in the same room.

The room

A Roman numeral and a room name, such as Room II · Pastorals. Rooms group works by their subject — night skies, woodland, clockwork, antiquity, jewels and fruit-machine classics — so if you like one work, the rest of its room is a sensible next step.

The technique

The line in smaller type names the game’s main feature: free-spin ladders, cascades and clusters, sticky and hold, multipliers, expanding and shifting, or picks, wheels and mysteries. Each has its own page in the Techniques section explaining how it works in plain English.

The four bars

The little bar chart is volatility — the rhythm of a game. One bar is gentle, four is very bold. It describes how often and how large a game’s moments tend to be; it is not a forecast of any result.

The blue dot

In a real gallery a small dot beside a painting means it has been sold. Here it means you have added the work to your collection. It is saved to your account when signed in, or to this browser as a guest. You can remove it at any time.
