The questions & guide:

What does the term Hold mean?
The Hold is the percentage of coins played that are typically kept by the machine (your losses), or the house. In the average case, the hold is in the range of 3% to 15%.

What is the Pay line?
Slots will have a single (or multiple) horizontal line at the middle of the visible playing screen. If a proper combination falls on that line, you get paid. Hence, this line is the pay line. Some games will have multiple horizontal and vertical pay lines. These are called multi-line slots.

What are Reels?
The reels of a slot machine are the cylindrical spinning pieces on which all of the slot machine's symbols are typically displayed. The typical slot machine will have three reels, however there are numerous other options including two reel, four reel, five reel and even higher. The more reels in the machine, the more permutations or possible combinations are able to hit the pay line.

What are Symbols?
The symbols are graphics, pictures, images, or icons that are spread around the reels. They can be cherries, lemons, bars, oranges or any of the other numerous and easily recognizable images that you may see on a daily basis.
