The play area displays the slot machine’s five reels. The reels are displayed through a slots window. There are 20 paylines – lines across a slots window where combinations must be formed. You can view a line by moving the cursor over its number located on the left and on the right of the slots window.

Basic Rules

1. Bets are made on the enabled paylines and you can simultaneously use anywhere from 1 to 20 lines. You may bet between 1 and 10 credits on each enabled payline. Once the bet have been made, the slot game starts by spinning the reels. The maximum total bet is 200 credits: 10 credits on 20 enabled paylines.

2. A winning combination is the appearance of 3 to 5 identical symbols on an enabled payline. The more identical symbols, the greater the win. These symbols must appear from the left to the right in consecutive order, starting on the first reel.

   For example, this combination of Island symbols is a winning one:

   

    

   While this combination is not:

   

    

   You can read about the exact amount of payouts for various winning combinations by clicking the "PAYTABLE" button on the bottom panel of the slot machine. All payout figures show the number of credits that are won for each combination. The value of credits won depends on the number of credits you bet per payline.

3. The two symbols below are subject to special rules. The first one is called Scatter and the second is called Wild.

   

    

4. Three to five Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels make a winning combination. That means that Scatter symbols do not need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win. It can be Scattered anywhere on the five reels, provided that three or more Scatter symbols appear. Winnings are calculated by multiplying the Scatter symbols combination payout shown in the paytable by the total number of credits bet.

   A Wild symbol replaces any symbol except for Scatter to complete winning combinations. For example, in the following combination.

   

    

   both Wild symbols serve as a Yacht symbol and, as a result, there are five Yachts on the line. If a Wild symbol is located on the intersection of several enabled paylines, it will work in the player’s favor for each line. For example, on one enabled payline, Wild symbol can substitute for a Yacht, while on another payline the same Wild symbol can substitute for a Dolphin.

   Just like the other symbols, if between 3 and 5 consecutive Wild symbols fall on a enabled payline from the left to the right, it is a winning combination. For example, the following combination gives a payout for three Wild symbols.

   

    

   Please remember that Wild symbols can’t substitute for Scatter symbols. Wild symbol is the most valuable symbol, and pays out higher than the others. Furthermore, several winning combinations can appear on the same payline, as in the following combination:

   

    

   This combination could be treated as either 3 Wild symbols or as 4 Airplane symbols. In such cases, the player gets the highest value payout. According to the Paytable, the higher combination in the example above is 4 Airplanes, which is what payout would be. However, the following combination

   

    

   is treated as 3 Wilds because the payout for 3 Wild symbols is more than for 4 Anchor symbols.

5. The Double Game feature is activated after any win on an enabled payline. The player can choose to play the Double Game by clicking the "DOUBLE" button, or can continue to play the normal game. If the player chooses to play Double Game, correctly guessing the card color doubles his winnings. Correctly guessing the card suit quadruples his winnings. An incorrect guess will cause the total payout to be lost.

Additional Information

   2. Clicking on a payline number located to on the left or right of the play area. This number will become the upper limit of the range of paylines enabled. If, for example, the player clicks on the number 12, paylines 1…12 will be enabled.

8. The maximum payout for a single spin (including Double Game rounds) is limited to €20,000.
