Reel Ways Calculate Winnings
This node calculates winnings for slot games using the "ways to win" mechanic instead of traditional paylines.
The Reel Ways Calculate Winnings node processes wins based on consecutive symbols across adjacent reels.
The Reel Ways Calculate Winnings node implements the "ways to win" payout system where wins are formed by consecutive matching symbols from left to right across adjacent reels, rather than following specific payline patterns. This creates potentially hundreds or thousands of ways to win.
