Unlike other pokies where the low value symbols are card numbers, the symbols in Major Millions are all military based.
The game logo is a wild symbol that can substitute for all the regular symbols and is also the icon with highest payout.
The symbols in the game include medals, bar ammunition, war boat, war plane, tank, top secret files, general, major cap and binoculars.
While there are plenty of scatter coins, they do not activate bonus features. Instead they pay on any position they are found on the reels.
