Each sector has its own specific vocabulary, and the online casino is no exception to the rule! Not easy to understand when you are a beginner player, but to progress, it will be imperative to familiarize yourself with some symbols and often English terms of online slot machines. In this small glossary, we offer you a definition of the terms most often used to evolve in the increasingly complex world of non GamStop slots games.
