Are trigger and retrigger the same thing?

There are features that have different requirements for entry from the base game and for extending while in the feature. There may be a difference in symbol count, placement or award. Read the two conditions separately before comparing the two slots.

If the base-game trigger is written in one help panel and the retrigger in another panel, put them in two separate notes. Do not assume that the count or award is the same because the symbol is the same.

  • Count and placement in the base game
  • Count and placement in the feature
  • Award and retrigger limit if stated
Example to review

The special symbol that appears is not always a bonus trigger.

Additional checklist

In Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War, there is a separate question about the feature itself. Read the Zeus vs Hades: how to separate Olympus and Hades from your game record? for documented rules and clear hypothetical examples.

The special symbol that appears is not always a bonus trigger.

Prioritize the rules screen itself and current operator conditions. If there is an unclear unit, trigger or scope, don’t make assumptions.
