Set the stake: To increase or decrease your stake amount, click either the plus (+) or minus ( - ) area on the Stake button respectively. This transfers funds from your account (demo or real money) into the stake. The default stake is set to the value defined by the site operator, which is increased or decreased with each click.
Select the number of Win-lines to play: Traditionally, the win line is the centre line running across the reels. Symbols must appear on the win line as indicated on the paytable in order to win. This game allows the possibility of choosing up to 20 win lines per game. You select how many win-lines to play with the Lines button. Each line you choose will have one unit of the stake you have selected attached to it, as each line can win separately in any single game. If you ignore the Lines button, then the default setting for the game will be used, which is all 20 lines.
Each click of the Lines button moves the line selection from 1 through to 20 respectively. Each click of the lines button adds one line to the selection. If you continue to click the lines button after 20, the cycle starts again at 1 line. The win line(s) and reel positions illuminate with each press of the button. Animations highlight each reel position and a “pathway” is shown making line selection clear and easy.
To make things even clearer each line its own progressively colour coded button/indicator; starting with 1 (red) through to 20 (violet/purple).
It is possible to add or remove specific lines from those selected with the lines button. The line indicators (labelled 1-20 and colour coded) serve as buttons which can be used to add or remove win-lines from the selection. The individual line buttons are click on (illuminated), click off (not illuminated):
NOTE: If you have customised the win lines selected (by individually adding/removing win lines), and then click the lines button; all lines of a lesser number than the highest line number selected will be switched on plus the next win line up in sequence.
NOTE: Win lines pay left to right ONLY (except scatter Icon).
About the Bet Max button: The Bet Max button is a feature which enables you to place large bets quickly. If you click the Bet Max button; any stake/lines previously set will be overridden.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
When the bet max button is selected, the stake and lines will be set automatically as follows;
Bet Max = Maximum stake allowed/maximum number of lines playable AND playing all lines available.
Spin the reels to start the game: All of the information inputted so far is displayed just under the reels. Now click the Spin button to spin the reels to start the game. When the reels stop, any wins will be registered automatically and added to your account (if you collect the win).
The Auto Spin button: If you press the Auto button, this will automatically start each game without pressing the spin button. Each game will start automatically until you get a win or something that requires player intervention like free spins. In Auto mode the Spin button becomes the Stop button, which is selected to resume manual play again.
Scatters to free play: If 3 or more scatter icons (The Cocktail Icon) appear ANYWHERE in the result of a game, the free play feature is triggered. The number of lines selected for play does not affect the way the scatters are triggered; the scatter icons can appear in any of the 15 visible reel positions.
The Wild Icon does not count as a scatter Icon
You need at least 3 scatters in a single result to trigger the Free Play feature. How many free plays you get depends on how many scatter icons trigger the feature:
NOTE: The bonus payment is paid before the free spins commence.
If you get 3, 4 or 5 scatters in the result of a single game, any other wins will be credited to your account, then the scatter icons will illuminate with a small animation. The talkback pane will inform you that you have won X (number depends on how many scatters in the result) free plays, then the free plays will begin automatically… you do not have to do anything.
• Free plays are free spins that start automatically and consecutively until they are exhausted.
• Before the free plays start the talkback area will display the all the free spins remaining on the left of the display. The right side will display the total win amount generated from the free spins.
• If you get 3 or more scatter icons in a single spin during the free plays, you will receive the line stake bonus as described above and the extra free plays will be added to the existing total and played out immediately after the first set of free plays. Extra free plays are possible more than once in a feature.
• The stake and number of lines selected in the game that triggered the free plays will be used for the duration of the free play period.
• Free Spin wins that contain a wild card pay X2 the standard paytable win; the same rule applies in “normal” play
Wild: The wild icon will substitute for any icon (except the scatter icon) to make the best win possible. In addition, the wild Icon doubles (X2) the paytable value of any win it is a part of.
Note: 2 or more wild card icons being part of a win do not increase the bonus payout.
The Progressive Jackpot: If you get five of the top paying icons (see paytable) on an active pay-line in the result of game, you qualify for the progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot total appears on a display on top of reels and rises in increments (by a percentage of total funds inputted into the game) until the progressive Jackpot is won. The Progressive jackpot is seeded which means that there is always a specified minimum amount in the Progressive Jackpot - even if the Jackpot is won, and the total is reset.
Jackpot: Please note that you are not eligible to win the progressive jackpot until you are staking a minimum of £1 per line.
