An effect that increases the amount of points earned in a game, by multiplying the normal point reward by some positive factor. For example, a "×2" multiplier means that the player receives double the points they would normally.
Multipliers are usually expressed as integer values (×2, ×3, ×5, etc.), but decimals and percentages are also sometimes used (e.g. "+25% score"). Increasing and maintaining the score multiplier at a high value is generally vital for players seeking a high score, and most games will make it a skill challenge to do so.
If more than one multiplier is present in a game, it may be possible for them to "stack", giving the player both at the same time; for example, a ×2 multiplier stacked with a ×5 multiplier is effectively a ×10 multiplier.
Multipliers are most commonly known in Pinball games, where they contribute to the phenomenon of Pinball Scoring. They're also widely used in video games, particularly Bullet Hell shooters, which frequently feature intricate scoring systems.

The Vectorman games had multiplier items that lasted a limited time and applied not only to points, but extra lives as well, so if you get an extra life while under the effect of a 5× multiplier, you get five extra lives.

Mario Party Advance: The minigame Bill Bounce has the players jump onto Bullet Bills shot from cannons to score points. The more Bills are stomped in succession before landing back into the ground, the more points will be gathered. It's necessary to do this when the minigame is played in Shroom City mode, as the required total score to win is 1000 points.

Game & Wario: The "Ashley" game gives a score multiplier every time Ashley collects 100 spell power drops onscreen without missing any or taking damage. It begins with ×2 once she hits 100 and increases to the next integer for every 100 afterwards. High multipliers are necessary to earn "Best Buddy" status, especially on later stages.

In LittleBigPlanet, collecting five Score Bubbles, Prize Bubbles, or creature brains in any combination in a short timeframe gives you a 2× Multiplier. You then have about a second to collect five more of the above to increase the multiplier by one. The multiplier goes up to 100, with any bubbles collected after that added to the points that will be multiplied. In the games with the Score Giver, items tagged with it can be set to follow those rules or be worth +1 on the multiplier anyway.

Super Mario Bros.:
In most platform games, your score is multiplied if you Goomba Stomp multiple enemies without touching the ground. You eventually get 1-Ups instead when the streak is high enough.

The more Bills are stomped in succession before landing back into the ground, the more points will be gathered.

In WET, the score multiplier is automatically ramped up by killing enemies really fast. However, in boss battles, there are also one-time-only score multipliers that can be picked up (usually through acrobatic jumps) and stack with the regular multipliers.

In Gears of War 3, you can play an "Arcade" version of the campaign where your score in recorded in which enemies you kill. So many points reaches another multiplier level where you get more points for each kill and the multiplier goes down when a player character goes down, if a player is killed the score resets to ×1.
