Slot is a dynamic placeholder that can either wait for content (passive) or be filled by a renderer (active). A slot can be used in combination with a scenario to deliver content to the page.
A slot can be rendered based on state in its parent scope and/or child component. This is accomplished by passing props into the slot when rendering it with a v-slot directive. The slot’s content is then compiled using those props and the render function.
The different types of slots available are incredibly varied, from simple games that use classic card symbols to complex multi-reel titles with immersive bonus features. Many of them are themed after popular movies, TV shows or rock bands. They all have different payout odds and volatility, but also differ in other ways.
For example, some slots have flexible paylines while others have fixed ones, which can make a difference in how much you win or lose. Another common feature is Scatters, which multiply your winnings. These are usually found in modern slots, but some older machines also have them. Most slots have three or five reels, each one containing different weighting of symbols. Often the higher-paying symbols are less frequent than the lower-paying ones, so they have worse odds of appearing on a payline.
