Do line patterns or adjacent reels count?
In a payline format, there are defined paths or patterns. In the ways format, eligible symbols can be important on consecutive reels according to the winning direction. The minimum count and any exclusions must be seen before the combinations are counted.
On two five-reel grids, identical placements may be eligible on one and not the other. The reason is the winning-pattern rules, not the name or color of the grid.

More ways does not mean better results.
Additional checklist
In the Hot to Burn original, there was a separate question about the feature itself. Read the Original Hot to Burn: star Scatters award prizes, not automatic free spins for documented rules and clear hypothetical examples.
More ways does not mean better results.
Prioritize the rules screen itself and current operator conditions. If there is an unclear unit, trigger or scope, don’t make assumptions.
