Cascading Symbols

Back to Guide

Cascading symbols fall from above the playing area into columns instead of spinning on reels. Most of these games feature respin options, where winning combinations are cleared from the board and new symbols fall from above to fill the voids. Multiple respins can often be won, and many titles feature progressive multipliers in conjunction with the respins.
