After almost 30 years of involvement with Fife Flyers we have taken the difficult decision to step down from the operation of this wonderful club.
Fife Flyers have a long and colourful history and we now look for those who wish to write the next chapter. We look forward to welcoming those out there who have the passion, drive and determination to help keep this historic club going for another 87 years! Any interested parties are invited to contact us so we can pass on the baton and share new ownership news prior to the end of the 2024/25 season. Therefore we ask that any interested party or parties, should make contact by this email enquiries@fifeflyers.co.uk in the first instance where all enquiries will be considered in the strictest confidence.
As our era as custodians of this storied Club at the heart of Fife draws to a close, we hope you can join us to raise the rafters not only at home games but also with some special club events.
Firstly, to celebrate our partnership with CHAS started back in the mid 90’s by former Coach Mark Morrison. Together as a Club, you’ve helped us to raise an outstanding £97,577 for this amazing charity. Our aim is to reach £100,000 by the end of the season. We would love you to share your generosity one more time at one of our home games where we will be raising
money for CHAS – more details to be announced soon.
Secondly, since taking over in 1996, we have had the privilege of having some outstanding players and personalities pull on the blue, white and gold with pride. We feel now is the time to solidify their place in our history books. Therefore, we are pleased to announce the retirement of #11 Todd Dutiaume, #12 Steven King and officially retire #17 Mark Morrison.
These events will take place throughout the month of March with more details to follow soon!
We will also be hosting a Skate with the Flyers, End of Season Party and also various jersey raffles as we raise cheers to the years, mark the end of our time with the club and look forward to the beginning of the next chapter.
While there have been many highs and lows over the years, this Club and its community and fans has been an important part of our lives for the last three decades and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
To the volunteers, fans, players, staff and teams, past and present, thank you, forever Blue, White and Gold.
Tom and Jack
Wilds and scatters are the two special symbols that appear in almost every modern slot, and they work in completely different ways. One stands in for other symbols to complete a combination, the other pays or triggers regardless of where it lands. Confusing the two leads to a lot of misread paytables.
Wild And Scatter Symbols Explained
A standard wild substitutes for any regular symbol, but developers have layered variations on top of that, including expanding wilds that fill a whole reel and sticky wilds that stay in place across several spins. Players comparing features often Winplace to see which mechanics each title uses. Scatters sit outside the line system, paying on any position and typically triggering the free spin round when three or more appear.
| Symbol | Function | Line Dependent |
|---|---|---|
| Standard wild | Substitutes | Yes |
| Expanding wild | Fills a reel | Yes |
| Scatter | Pays or triggers | No |
- Wilds complete combinations, scatters usually do not
- Expanding and sticky wilds behave differently from standard ones
- Three or more scatters commonly trigger a feature
Special symbols shape how a slot feels far more than they change its return percentage, which is set by the game as a whole. A title packed with sticky wilds is not inherently more generous than a plain one. Reading the paytable before playing is worth a minute, and setting a session budget is worth rather more.
