Most games however still require the symbols appearing left to right, sometimes this even includes scatters. On the other end of the scale, if the player plays 5 reels, symbols can appear anywhere in the window and will pay as long as there is one in each reel. For instance, if a player plays 1 reel on a 243 way game, they receive three symbols in the first reel which pay anywhere in the three positions, while all other reels pay in the centre only, with unused areas darkened. On multiway games, players play the entire position of each reel instead of fixed lines or patterns. They also allow for multiple lines (up to 200) or multiple ways (up to 3,125) to be played. These machines have additional bonusing and second-screen features such as free games and bonus levels. Australian-style gaming machines frequently use video displays to simulate physical reels, usually five. In Australia 'poker machines' or 'pokies' are officially termed gaming machines. Slot machine terminology, characteristics and regulations vary around the world.
