Expanding and shifting

Symbols grow to fill a whole reel, or the grid itself shifts and slides, changing which positions line up.

How it works

  1. An expanding symbol stretches from one position to cover its entire reel, which can connect several lines at once.
  2. Shifting features move reels or symbols sideways or up and down between spins.
  3. Central-expanding games focus the effect on the middle reel, where it touches the most lines.

Curator’s tipExpanding features are easiest to follow if you watch the middle of the grid.
