About Slot Games
This is a game of chance, with fixed odds, where the player can bet a certain amount of money or credits to try to get combinations of symbols that grant payments. The game presents a number of reels or columns, each with a set of symbols that, on each play, stop at a random position, defining which symbols are visible on the screen. Each game has different symbols, both in quantity and appearance, according to its theme and design.
Basic Info
Usually placed in the upper or lower side of the game, the player can find the session info, which can include:
- Balance/Credit: The money or credits the player has in their casino account, available to wager.
- Bet/Total Bet: The value set as the current bet.
- Total Win: The value earned on the last play.
- Play ID: A unique number that identifies each game round. When a new game round starts, this number is updated and remains on screen until the next game round.
Payouts
A specified number of like symbols appearing in a selected payline results in a payout. The number of each symbol required, its payout, and the paylines patterns available in this game are explained in the Help/Paytable of the game itself.
Paylines
The paylines are numbered starting from 1. Some slot machines activate all paylines by default, and others allow the player to select the number of active paylines. The amount of active paylines is displayed on the interface of the game, along with the controls used for increasing or decreasing the active paylines, if applicable.
Bet Settings
Games allow players to choose the amount of coins, credits, or money to wager. The player can modify the bet using the controls in the bet section (BET/LINE BET/TOTAL BET). In any case, the total wagered per spin is obtained by multiplying the number of coins selected (1 by default) by the coin value or line bet by the number of paylines selected. The bet level also defines the payout level, according to the paytable.
Playing the Game
After the paylines and the bet amount have been set, the player has to put the reels in motion by clicking or tapping the SPIN/START button, usually located at the center or right side of the screen. Clicking or tapping this button will start the reel spinning animation and generate a debit in the player’s balance. Once the reels stop, the prizes – if any – will be added to the balance. All wins are displayed on screen through the WIN/TOTAL WIN label.
Other Controls
The player is generally able to toggle on/off sound, speed, quality of graphics, and other settings using the controls available on the interface of the game. There is also a LOBBY/HOME/CLOSE button that allows the player to quit the game and go back to the Casino’s lobby where they can find the game catalogue.
Special Symbols
In addition to regular symbols, the game may have one or more of the following special symbols:
- Wild: It can substitute most other symbols in order to complete a winning combination.
- Scatter: This symbol need not necessarily appear in defined paylines. The specified number of scatter symbols can appear anywhere on the reels. Scatter symbols can also be used to trigger bonus rounds.
- Bonus: When appearing on screen in the specified number and/or location, this symbol triggers a bonus round.
