- Source
- The identifiable document supporting a claim. Preserve its author or publisher, title and URL.

- A named symbol role whose substitutions and exceptions must be read in the exact game’s rules.
- Scatter
- A named symbol whose trigger or award conditions must be established from the title’s own description.

- Multiplier
- A factor applied according to a stated base, operation and timing condition.
- Observed ratio
- A calculation from the particular entries measured or illustrated, with a stated numerator and denominator.

- The number of entries above zero in a defined sequence. State the sample and the meaning of “positive”.
