  • Aim Of The Game

    A Slot machine has three spinning reels with 22 positions per reel marked with symbols. Each time a spin is made, the three reels come to rest randomly with a selection of symbols showing in the game window. Certain combinations of symbols in the game window result in payoffs. The payoffs for the different winning combinations are shown in a window at the top of each Slot machine. For some machines, like Rags to Riches you need to click on the Payout Table button to view the Payout Table.

    William Hill slot machines operate like slots machines found in the casinos throughout the world. The only difference, which is greatly favourable for the player, is that you can switch your coin value from £0.25 to £5 without changing to another machine!

  • How To Play

    To begin playing Slots select the machine you wish to play and the denomination you would like to play at. You may choose from 25p, £1, £2, or £5. To increase or decrease denominations, please click on the "left arrow" or "right arrow" buttons, respectively, at the left-hand side of the Slot machine. Your balance will automatically be converted to coins when you select the machine you wish to play. The amount of coins you have available within the machine is shown in the Credits field at the top right hand corner of the Slot machine with an initial bet of 1 displayed in the Bet field. For example, if your balance is £20 with the coin denomination selector set to £1, you will see 20. If you then click the "right arrow" button of the coin denomination selector (which changes the coin value to £0.25), you will then see that the Credits field has been changed to 80. The Bet field displays the amount of coins you have selected to bet that spin. Please note that the BALANCE field will not change when you change the coin denomination since they show your balance in dollars (not coins).

    Once you have chosen a coin denomination, you may then click on the "BET ONE" button up to a maximum of three times which corresponds to the maximum bet of 3 coins. Some machines like Flower Power and Forbidden Fruit allow up to 5 coins. You may then start the reels spinning by clicking on the "SPIN REELS" button. If you would like to play with the maximum amount of coins (3) per spin, you may alternatively choose to simply click the "BET MAX" button that will start to spin the reels for you automatically. When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown on the top of each machine. Any credits you win will be displayed in the Paid field. Upon placing your next bet the credits in the Paid field will be added to your Credits (minus the amount of the bet which will be displayed in the Bet field). To turn your machine credits back into regular chips, click on the "CASH OUT" button.

    To change the type of Slot machine you are playing, click on the Slot machine in the menu bar you would like to play. When you change the machine type, your credits and coin denominations will not change. If you change to a machine that does not have the specific denomination that you were playing then the amount of credits remains the same but the denomination will change. If you move from a higher denomination game to a lower denomination game, any excess coins will be placed back into your BALANCE field.

    Autoplay

    You can now enjoy the Autoplay feature, which will allow the game to spin up to 99 times for you, saving you from having to click the Spin/Bet Max repeatedly, or allowing you to continue to play should you need to leave your computer for a moment. The game will stop when the Autoplay has reached the number of spins that you desire, or when a bonus round is reached. You can click the STOP button at any time to halt the Autoplay feature.

    Progressive Jackpot Slot Machines

    The following machines offer a progressive jackpot: £0.25 Triple Olives, £1 Triple Olives and £1 Rags to Riches. Unlike regular slot machines, progressive jackpot slot machines operate on a fixed denomination. So, if you are playing £0.25 Triple Olives and you would like to switch to £1 Triple Olives, you need to exit the £0.25 Triple Olives machine and then enter the £1 Triple Olives machine. If you are playing a regular slot machine for £2 or £5 and then switch to a progressive slot machine, the denomination and Credits will change to the match the denomination of the machine selected. The top payout on a progressive jackpot machine is not fixed as in regular slot machines. Jackpot values start at a specific level and grow each time somebody makes a bet. The starting jackpot values are identified in the table below :

    Game NameStarting Jackpot Value
    £1 Rags to Riches£50,000
    £0.25 Triple Olives£1,250
    £1 Triple Olives£5,000

    Rags to Riches is not only a progressive jackpot game. It is also a shared jackpot game. This means that the value of the jackpot grows each time somebody makes a bet while playing at William Hill or any other participating casino. This means the jackpot grows faster.
