Slot Machines were invented
in the late 1800's by Charles
Fey, around the same time
as the technological advances
that brought us the phonograph,
the telephone, and the automobile.
Their ease of use, quick
results, and bigger payouts
for smaller bets, makes
them the most popular and
most played game in the
Vegas Casino Games.
Object
of the game
The object of the game
is to receive a winning
combination of symbols along
an active pay line to win
a corresponding jackpot.
The slot
machine has 3 digital displays:
-
Coins
Played - The
number of coins to be
bet on the next pull.
This also determines
the number of active
pay lines on the next
pull.
-
Credits
- The total
number of coins remaining
in your balance. This
value will adjust according
to the coin denomination
setting of the slot
machine.
-
Winner
Paid - The
number of coins won
from the last pull.
The slot machine
also has 4 buttons:
-
Cash
Out : Resets
the number of coins
being bet to 0, returning
them to your balance.
-
Spin
: When at least
one coin has been bet,
the spin button will
become enabled. Clicking
the spin button will
cause the reels to begin
spinning. Alternately,
the player may also
click on the slot machine
arm to pull it down
and start the reels
spinning. Note that
cashing out or inserting
more coins is not permitted
once the reels have
begun spinning.
-
Bet
Max : Allows
the player to quickly
bet the maximum number
of coins permitted by
the machine and immediately
spins the reels.
-
Bet
One : Bets
one coin at a time.
Once the desired number
of coins is bet, the
player must spin the
reels manually by clicking
on spin or the slot
machine arm.
The Bets.
First, select a denomination
for the slot machine. This
will set the value of each
coin played. Next, deposit
one to five coins into the
machine -- use the Bet
One button to
bet one coin at a time,
or use Bet Max
to bet the maximum coins
allowed by the machine (balance
permitting). For each coin
that is deposited into the
machine, another pay line
will become selected/active.
Selected pay lines will
be hilighted on the screen.
The player is paid for a
winning combination along
any of the selected pay
lines only, so playing more
coins increases your chances
of a winning combination.
When you are satisfied with
the number of coins bet
and the number of selected
pay lines, click on the
slot machine's arm or click
the Spin
button to begin the reels
spinning. Note that the
Bet Max
button will automatically
play five coins, select
all five pay lines, and
cause the reels to begin
spinning immediately.
The Spin Each reel
will begin to spin and one
by one stop on a random
symbol. The resulting combination
of symbols determines the
payout.
Slot
Machine payouts vary
depending on the number
of coins wagered and
the combination of symbols
that appear on the slot
machine's reels. This
slot machine has a up
to five payout lines
that are indicated
by the colored lights
on either side of the
reels. The payout lines
are activated, in the
order shown below, by
each coin bet. The symbols
that line up on any
active pay lines make
up the combinations
that will determine
the payout.
As soon as the reels begin
spinning, the number of
coins bet is removed from
the player's balance.
At the top of the slot
machine is a chart of
symbol combinations displaying
their associated payouts.
The number beside the
symbol combination is
the number of coins that
will be won for each active
pay line that displays
this combination of symbols.
The coins paid are of
the same denomination
as the coin(s) bet.
A line on the payout
chart may look similar
to:
In the example above,
the slot machine must
display any combination
of the
BAR
symbols (

)
along a pay line to
win 5 coins. If the
combination appears
on multiple lines, the
payout is multiplied
by the number of lines
displaying this combination.
Some
symbols are marked
DOUBLE .
When determining a
winning pay line,
these symbols are
considered the same
as their normal counterparts
without the DOUBLE
marking.
Therefore, a blue
seven marked DOUBLE
is considered
the same as a normal
blue seven. However,
the symbols marked
DOUBLE
have a wonderful property...
A single symbol marked
DOUBLE
along any winning
pay line automatically
multiplies the payout
for that line by two.
If two symbols on
a winning pay line
are marked DOUBLE
the payout
for that line is multiplied
by four.
In the case of all
three symbols along
a winning pay line
are marked DOUBLE
the payout
for that line is multiplied
by EIGHT.
One
line in the paytable
lists each colored
seven with the word
"any" below it. This
payout of 15 coins
is earned for a pay
line containing any
combination of sevens
in any order. A pay
line consisting of
a blue seven,
a red seven,
and another
blue seven will
pay 15 coins. Likewise,
a pay line consisting
of a green seven,
a red seven, and a
blue seven would pay
the same 15 coins.
Sevens marked
DOUBLE
still multiply the
payout according to
the DOUBLE
rule (read
above).
The pay table for
this slot machine
shows that any pay
line that does not
contain a single lemon
pays 2 coins.
This means that any
combination of
sevens or
bars on
a pay line with no
lemons will
pay 2 coins. Symbols
marked DOUBLE
still multiply
the payout according
to the DOUBLE
rule (read
above).
Placing Bets
Slot machine bets
are determined by the denomination
of the coin being played.
The bottom of the slot machine
has a small digital display
that allows you to select
the coin denomination. As
you change the value of
the coins being played,
you'll notice that the number
of credits adjusts itself
accordingly.
For example:
$100 will provide the user
with 400 25¢ credits
(100 ÷ 0.25 = 400).
If you increase the coin
value to $5, the number
of credits drops to 20 (100
÷ 5 = 20).
All payouts are made using
the same value of coin used
when the slot machine's
reels are spun.
The slot machine has 3 digital
displays:

-
Coins
Played - The
number of coins to be
bet on the next pull.
-
Credits
- The total
number of coins remaining
in your balance. This
value will adjust according
to the coin denomination
setting of the slot
machine.
-
Winner
Paid - The
number of coins won
from the last pull.
To place
your bet before spinning
the reels, click the Bet
One button to
bet one coin at a time.
Each time you click the
Bet One
button, you will notice
that one coin is removed
from the Credits
value, and the
Coins
value increases by one.
The slot machine accepts
a maximum of 5 coins (balance
permitting). If you have
sufficient credits remaining,
you may click the Bet
Max button to
quickly bet the maximum
5 coins and start the reels
spinning. For each coin
played, another pay line
will be selected. Selected
lines will illuminate the
colored lights on the left
side of the reels. You are
paid for a winning combination
along any selected pay line,
so more coins played means
more pay lines and a better
chance of catching a winning
combination.
Click the Cash Out
button if you
wish to return any coins
you have bet to your balance.
This effectively takes the
number of coins shown in
the Coins
display, and returns them
to your total Credits
.
Spinning the
Reels
If you click the Bet
Max button,
the maximum 3 coins
are bet and the reels
will begin spinning
automatically. If you
choose to bet one coin
at a time using the
Bet One
button you must manual
spin the reels by either
clicking on the Spin
button, or
clicking on the slot
machine arm to pull
it. Both methods will
start the reels spinning.

When
the reels stop, the
final combination
determines the payout.
You may then bet more
coins and spin the
reels again.
