How to win
Bet on the outcome of five spinning reels. Match 3 or more icons on a win line to win a cash payout. Payouts increase depending on the number of matching symbols you have.
Winnings are credited to your account immediately. If you lose, by having insufficient matching icons on a win line, you will lose your stake amount.
How to play
1. To increase or decrease your stake amount, click either the plus (+) or minus ( - ) buttons in the Stake area 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 operator, which is increased or decreased with each click of the respective button.
2. You have the opportunity of choosing up to 20 win lines per game. You can select how many win-lines to play with by either pressing the Lines button or the line indicator buttons (colour coded 1-20, situated on each side of the reels). Win lines will always pay from left to right only. The icon on the far left of the win line will act as a point of reference for finding at least two further matching icons as you move along the line towards the right. Each Win line has one unit of the stake associated with it, each line can win separately in any single game. If you ignore selecting either the Lines button or the line indicator buttons, 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 up to the maximum of 20. Click on the (-) button in the lines section to decrease the number or lines. 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 has its own progressively colour coded button/indicator; starting with 1 (red) through to 20 (violet/purple).
Note: If you try to select a number of lines/stake per-line combination that exceeds the total maximum stake allowed by the site operator; then a pop-up will inform you of this; asking you to lower your total stake via either the number of lines selected or the stake-per-line selected.
3. 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).
Special features
The game has a special “no lose” feature game which, when activated, allows you a chance to win between 25X − 10 000X the stake value of the line that triggered the feature. All you have to do is play a mini game by making simple selections.
To activate the special features
For special features to activate, a minimum of three consecutive feature icons must appear from left to right on an activated win-line. The wild card icon will count as a feature icon, but no bonus will be given as the feature wins in its own right.
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.
How to play "The Diamond Hub!"
The goal of the feature is to get to the centre of the Diamond Hub and win the jackpot. The diamond hub consists of a series of 3 concentric rings with the diamond hub jackpot at the centre. In the feature you will play up to four rounds. Any win multiples achieved in each round will be displayed separately at the bottom of the screen. The wheel resets after each round.
Round definition: From clicking the “spin button” to the wheel re-setting again - the number of rings (3 rings + the centre) that the pointer “traverses/pierces” is irrelevant.
Any numbers achieved will be multiplied together (NOT added together).
At the end of the feature (when the result of a spin is crash, or jackpot), the result of each round will be multiplied together (minimum X2). This amount will be multiplied by the stake-per-line amount that triggered the feature; giving the total win amount for the feature.
Just after the feature screen loads, the Diamond hub cover will open, revealing the 3 rings. Click the spin button to start the feature.
The outer ring will spin and then slow down and come to rest; the pointer (to the left of the hub) will indicate the result of the spin which is always a single section of a ring. If the pointer stops on a yellow arrow, the pointer will pierce the next ring, which will then spin in the same way as the first, and so on… This will continue until a crash, win multiple or the Jackpot result is achieved.
If the result is a Win Multiple:
If the result is a win multiple, the win multiple is saved and displayed at the bottom right of the screen. You will be prompted to spin the ring again.
If the result is Crash:
If the result of a spin is a crash (not possible in the 1st spin), you will win nothing for that spin; but the winnings from other spins will be unaffected (at least X2). The feature ends.
If you get to the centre of the Diamond Hub (Jackpot):
You have hit the Jackpot, the feature ends (single round only).
At the end of the feature; the total of the win multiples achieved for each round will be multiplied by the stake-per line amount that triggered the feature; giving the total win amount.
You will be offered a chance to gamble the win (if the win does not exceed the permitted maximum − variable − by game operator) the win; if you choose to collect the win, the win will then be credited to your account immediately. Normal play then resumes.
What else can I do?
Customising the lines selection
It is possible to add or remove specific lines not only by pressing the lines button but also by selecting line indicators individually (labelled 1-20 and colour coded) which perform as buttons and can be used to add or remove win-lines from the selection. The individual line indicator buttons can click on (illuminated), or click off (not illuminated):
• To remove a selected line, click on the respective line number
• To add a line, click on the respective line number.
If you have customised the win lines selected (by individually adding/removing win lines), and then click the plus(+) lines button then the lowest number, unselected line will be selected; if you click the minus(- ) lines button then the highest number selected line will be deselected.
For example, if all win lines were switched on, and then 4, 5 and 6 were turned off, and then the 'minus(-) lines® button was pressed, line 20 would be turned off and if the plus(+) lines button was then pressed, line 4 would be turned on.
NOTE: Win lines pay left to right ONLY (except scatter Icon).
Win Line Indicators
All line wins will be displayed in local currency in a coloured box by the respective line indicator.
The Gamble Feature
With any win, you will be offered the opportunity to gamble it. With the gamble feature you can either double or quadruple a win if you correctly guess the colour or suit of the next card to be revealed respectively.
In the Feature, you now have 3 options:
1. Select/click one of the 4 suit buttons (which pay X4). A single card will be drawn. If you are correct, the current win will be multiplied by X4. If you are incorrect, you lose the win.
2. Select/click one of the 2 suit colour buttons, Red (Diamonds/Hearts) or Black (Spades/Clubs), which pay X2. If you are correct, the current win will be multiplied by X2. If you are incorrect, you lose the win.
3. You may click the collect button at any time to collect the win.
*You may gamble your win until you either lose or reach the maximum win, which is £10 000 (variable by game operator). You may collect the win at any time. The talkback area informs the player of the maximum win
You are not permitted to gamble a win if the successful result would exceed £10 000 (or the amount specified by the game operator).
Examples (assuming a £10 000 maximum win):
If you have won £3000, you may gamble using X2 buttons once only. The X4 buttons will be inactive because a X4 win would exceed £10 000.
If you have won over £5000, the win is automatically collected.
When is the Gamble option offered?
The Gamble option will be offered on the total amount of winnings achieved in a single cash spin/play. This means that if you get Line wins, free-spins and a Special Feature game in a single spin; each will be played out in turn, then the gamble option will be offered on the total amount won in the cash spin/play.
After any win, the Gamble button will blink; either select the option to gamble and money credited into your account will be used to play the Gamble Feature, or continue to resume normal play and click 'spin'.
Note: If you lose a gamble, you will win nothing.
Scatters to free play
If 3 or more scatter icons 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.
What happens if I get 3 or more Scatter Icons in a single game?
If you get 3 or more scatters in the result of a single game, the scatter icons will illuminate with an animation. You will be awarded a bonus payment in addition to whatever freespins are won:
• 3 scatter icons pay − x2 Total stake that triggered the scatters
• 4 scatter icons pay − x5 Total stake that triggered the scatters
• 5 scatter icons pay − x10 Total stake that triggered the scatters
Now you will move on to the Scatter Bonus Round to finalise the details of the free spin feature.
Playing the Scatter bonus Round
You will now see that the 15 reel position boxes will have question marks upon them.
Click on boxes one at a time until you reveal the “Start Free Spins” box (which automatically stops the scatter bonus round).
Inside the boxes are:
- A number of Free-spin quantities (available range: 1 - 25)
Free spin quantities will be added together to give a grand total of spins for the feature. For example: 2 spins + 15spins + 3 spins = 20 free spins for the feature.
- One Start free spins
When the “start free spins” box is revealed − the choosing period ends automatically; the details of your free-spins will be displayed on screen in an animation which plays over the boxes. The free spins will then begin automatically.
Free-Spin Functionality
The free-spin reel set is different to the reel set used in normal play. The reel set contains enhancements that are unique to the free-spins.
• The will be no Special Feature Icons (that lead to the mini-games) in the free-spins reel set.
• There will be no Wild Bonus Icons, but there will be Sticky Wild Icons which are unique to the free spin reel set. The Sticky Wild Icons will replace the wild cards in normal reel set.
Sticky Wild Cards:
Appear only in the free-spin reel set. The Sticky Wild Icons will replace the wild cards in normal reel set. Sticky wild icons behave like normal wild cards in that they will substitute for any icon to make the best win possible (except the Jackpot and Scatter Icons).
In addition to this; the icon will bear a number designation upon it which ranges from 1 − 11. The number designates how many spins the wild card will remain in play (including the spin that the icon appeared).
After the spin in which the icon appeared; the icon will stick in position and the reels will move underneath the icon during the following spin (if the number on the icon is more than 1). The number on the icon will decrease by one with each consecutive spin until the functionality is exhausted. The icon will disappear after the last “sticky” spin; normal free-spins resume until exhausted.
General Rules About Free-Spins
• Free plays are free spins that start automatically and play out consecutively until they are exhausted.
• The talkback area will display 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.
• 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.
• If you get 3 or more scatter icons in a single spin during the free plays, the existing free-spins will be paused, then the feature bonus round will be played again and the extra spins achieved will be added to the previous total; the free-spins will then begin again from the moment they were paused with the additional spins added to the total. Extra free plays are possible more than once in a feature.
• Free spins uses a different reel set to normal play
• Free spins to not count in the countdown of auto spins; when free spins start auto spins are cancelled.
• Free spins start spinning automatically and require no user interaction unless free spins are won.
At the end of the free spins a congratulations screen appears covering the game reels which displays the amount won; click this screen to skip if desired.
The Gamble Feature will be offered on the total amount won on the single cash play that triggered the free-spins (any other line/feature wins from the initiating spin will be added the free-spin winnings total). If the win is collected; the winnings will be credited to your account; normal play then resumes.
The Wild Icon Bonus
For a standard icon line win, you need at least 3 consecutive icons appearing from left to right on an activated win line (except the scatter icon). A wild icon will substitute any standard icon except the Jackpot and Scatter, to make the best win possible. Note: The wild Icon will substitute for a feature Icon, but no win multiplier will be present as the feature icons trigger a mini game that wins in its own right.
In addition to this, the wild icon has a random multiplier value attached (X2, X5 or X10) which is revealed during the wild card animation. This means that a win containing a X5 wild icon would pay 5 times the standard paytable value for the win.
Example: 4 win icons + 1 wild icon (revealing X5)
= The standard payout for 5 win icons (example X20)
Plus the X5 bonus
20 X 5 = X100 payout for the win
Example: Any 2 win icons and 2 wild icons consecutive (left to right) on a win line would create a payout for 4 of the “non wild” icons that created the win, plus a x2 wild win bonus.
*Note: 2 or more wild card icons being part of a win does not further increase the bonus payout.
The Progressive Jackpot
The progressive Jackpot consists of a fixed minimum amount which gradually increases by a percentage of funds inputted into the game until it is won. When the jackpot is won, it is reset to the "seed" amount and begins to rise again. The progressive Jackpot icon is connected to 3 progressive jackpots. Which progressive jackpot is won depends upon, the number of consecutive icons (paying left to right only − no wild card substitution). Progressive Jackpots are available in real play only; each individual current Jackpot total is displayed above the talk-back panel.
• Mini = 3 consecutive Icons (paying left to right only)
• Midi = 4 consecutive Icons (paying left to right only)
• Maxi = 5 consecutive Icons (paying left to right only)
The minimum seed amount for the progressive jackpot depends upon the minimum stake per-line amount that is set by the site operator.
The Wild card Icon will not substitute for a Progressive icon.
It is not possible for two players to simultaneously win the Jackpot: the jackpot is locked when it is being won, this means that no other bets will be accepted for it, so only 1 player at a time is able to win it; the first player would win the jackpot and the second attempt would be unable to place their stake as the jackpot amount that they are playing for has decreased
The seeds (or starting values for the respective jackpots) are: Mini=5,000, Midi=10,000, Maxi=50,000
If the players stake is greater or equal to the minimum qualifying stake then the following contributions will be taken from the stake and added to the jackpot Mini=2.0%, Midi=1.5%, Maxi=1.0%
