How to Play
To set the stake, click the Stake button. This transfers funds from your account (demo or real money) into the stake. If you go over your intended stake, continuing to click the Stake button will eventually return the stake amount to the minimum again.
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 9 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 (in step 1) 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 9 lines. Each click of the Lines button moves the line selection from 1 through to 9 respectively. Each click of the lines button adds one line to the selection. If you continue to click the lines button after 9, 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.
About the Bet Max button
The Bet Max button is a feature which enables bigger spending customers 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 (example: £900) divided by the maximum number of lines available (9), multiplied by the maximum number of lines available per-game (9). £900 divided by 9 lines = £100 per line £100 per line X 9 lines = £900 total stake per-spin. To spin the reels/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 Spin button, this will automatically start each game without pressing the spin button. Each game will start automatically until something occurs that requires player intervention (like a special feature). In Auto mode the Spin button becomes the Stop button, which is selected to resume manual play again. If the Auto-Spin is not available, the game will have 5 buttons only.
The Progressive Jackpot
To be eligible for the progressive jackpot you must stake at least £1 per line. 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. Special features and functionality Dead Man's Chest has a special feature game which, when activated, allow you a chance to win huge multiples of the line stake that triggered the feature by playing a "mini game;" all you have to do is make simple selections.
To activate the Special Features
For special features to activate, a minimum of three feature icons (Chest) must appear consecutively on an activated win-line. The wild card icon will count as a feature icon, if a feature icon is already present. Any win multiples achieved in the feature are multiplied by the line stake that was used to trigger the feature - this total will be considered the winnings for the feature. Note: It is possible to achieve a X0 result in the feature (lose). The feature takes place where the reels normally are. The stake value of the line that was used to trigger the feature will be saved. Any winnings in the feature will be multiplied by the triggering line-stake amount, giving the total win for the feature. The feature takes place in the space where the reels normally are. Doubloons Ahoy allows you a chance to win huge multiples of your entry stake from opening treasure chests. Select one chest from the 2 available; click on the chest you believe will contain gold. Your selected chest will open, if the chest contains gold you will receive a win multiple for that round and move onto the next round. If your chosen chest sinks in the first round you win nothing and the feature ends. Choose a chest you think contains gold from 3 chests this time. If you choose correctly you can play a maximum of four rounds with 1 additional chest to choose from in each round. Each correct choice yields a higher win multiple if you choose correctly. If you choose a chest that sinks after the first round, the feature ends and you win nothing for that round. Winnings from correct choices in previous rounds will be unaffected. At the end of the feature, the final win multiple number attained (if any), will be multiplied by the stake amount for the line that triggered the feature. Winnings will be credited immediately to your account.
