Scatter Symbols

The Scrooge Doorknocker symbol in the Scrooge video slot machine game is a scatter symbol. This means that the Scrooge Doorknocker scatter symbol does not need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win. The Scrooge Doorknocker scatter symbol can be scattered anywhere on the five reels to complete winning combinations, provided three or more Scrooge Doorknocker scatter symbols appear.

Winnings are calculated by multiplying the Scrooge Doorknocker symbol combination payout, as shown in the “Regular Payout Schedule”, by the total number of coins bet. Three or more Scrooge Doorknocker scatter symbols scattered anywhere on the five reels activates the Christmas Dinner Bonus Feature game.
The Scrooge Logo wild symbol in the Scrooge video slot machine game does not substitute for the Scrooge Doorknocker symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Christmas Dinner Bonus Feature game. If you have a scatter win, you can choose any one symbol in the winning combination to reveal a “Plus One Day” or “Plus One Free Spin” symbol. The symbol revealed contributes to activating the Free Spins Bonus game. Alternately, click the “Spin” button to permit the game to randomly choose a symbol for you. If you have a scatter win and a regular win, you are paid out for both wins, as the Scrooge Doorknocker scatter symbol does not need to appear on an enabled payline to win. Scatter awards are independent from payline awards and are added to the payline win.
