What is the relationship between the number of paylines and the cost to play a slot game?

The number of 💰 paylines available in a slot game can greatly affect the cost to play. For example, a game with 40 lines 💰 that costs one credit per line will have a base bet of 40 credits to play all lines. However, betting 💰 on a five-line slot with the same dollar bet will result in a lower cost per payline, and therefore a 💰 potentially larger payout.
