How to play:
1. Set the stake
To
set the stake, click the Stake button. This transfers
funds from your account into the stake. The default stake is set to the
value defined by the operator, which is increased with each click. If
you go over your intended stake, continuing to click the Stake button
will eventually return the stake amount to the minimum again.
IMPORTANT:
See also the "About the Bet Max button" section.
2.
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 (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
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).
Customising the
lines selection
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):
To
remove a selected line, click on the respective line number
To
add a line, click on the respective line number
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 (as detailed in the
beginning of step 2).
For example, if all win lines up to 10
were switched on, and then 4, 5 and 6 were turned off, and then the
'lines' button was pressed, lines 1 - 11 would ALL be turned on.
The
following is a chart of the 20 win-line paths available for selection.
When a win line is selected it is accompanied by an animation which
clarifies its position, as described previously. 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 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 allowed/maximum number of lines playable AND
playing all lines available.
Or put more simply;
Bet Max
= Maximum stake (example: £1000) divided by the maximum number of lines
available (20), multiplied by the maximum number of lines available
per-game (20).
£1000 divided by 20 lines = £50 per line
£50
per line X 20 lines =
------------------------------
=£1000
total stake per-spin.
3. To spin the reels/start the
game

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

Scatters to free play
If 3 or
more scatter icons (Jumping Bean) 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:
3 scatters = 15 free plays -
plus x2 the total stake that triggered the free plays*
4
scatters = 20 free plays - plus x3 the total stake
that triggered the free plays*
5 scatters = 25 free plays - plus
x10 the total stake that triggered the free plays*
*
Examples:
Player A: gets 4 scatter icons in a
result while playing 20 lines at 50p per-line.
20 (lines) X 50p
(per line) X 3 (bonus for 4 scatters) = £30 bonus plus 20 free
plays
Player B: gets 3 scatter icons
in a result while playing 1 line at £1 per-line.
1 (line) X £1
(per line) X 2 (bonus for 3 scatters) = £2 bonus plus 15 free
plays
NOTE: The bonus payment is paid
before the free spins commence.
What happens if I get 3
or more Scatter Icons in a single game?
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
Examples:
Player A: gets 4
scatter icons in a result while playing 20 lines at 50p per-line. They
get 20 consecutive free plays, playing all 20 lines at 50p per-line.
Player
B: gets 3 scatter icons in a result while playing 1 line at £1
per-line. They get 15 consecutive free plays, playing 1 line at £1
per-line.
The Wild Icon X2 Bonus
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 apart of. Including any Normal paytable
win and any Free spin win.
Note: 2 or more wild card icons being
part of a win do not increase the bonus payout.
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 bonus.
