Aim Of The Game

A video slot machine has 5 spinning reels marked with symbols. Each time a spin is made, the five reels come to rest randomly with a selection of 3 symbols per reel showing in the game window. The type of wager placed and the combination of symbols that appear determine the payoff.

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

How To Play

The amount of credits you have available within the machine is shown in the Credits field on the left side of the machine. For example, if your balance is £20 with the coin denomination selector set to £1, you will see 19 coins in the Credits field and 1 in the Bet field for a total of 20. If you then click the "down arrow" button of the coin denomination selector (which changes the coin value to 25 cents), you then see that the Credits field has been changed to 79 and the Bet field remains at 1 for a total of 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.

You now have two options to select in determining the type and amount of your wager. The first will be selecting how many lines you wish to wager on. You can wager anywhere from 1 to 5 lines by clicking on the appropriate button (1 line, 2 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines or 5 lines). Pressing the 1 Line button will highlight the horizontal line: middle. Pressing on the 2 Lines button will highlight the first line and horizontal line: top. Pressing on 3 Lines will highlight the first two lines and horizonal line: bottom. Pressing on 4 Lines will highlight the first three lines and the inverted "V". Pressing on 5 Lines will highlight the first 4 lines and the regular "V"). Therefore, if you select only 1 line, you are only placing the wager beside the 1 line, and only qualify for that line. Once the number of lines is selected, you can now determine how many coins you want to wager. The number of coins per line multiplied by the number of lines being bet on will be shown in the TOTAL BET display area. After your selections, you may then press SPIN to spin the reels. Alternatively you may select the BET MAX button if you have enough coins to bet on all 5 lines with 5 credits per line. This will automatically spin the reels.

When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown on the PAYOUT TABLE of each machine. You may view this by clicking on this button located directly below the center reel. 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).

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
