• Clicking the Turbo Mode button switches on or off the Turbo Mode thus turning on or off some of the win animations and sounds, and making the reels spin faster or slower.
• Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.

• In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulated winnings. The Win ticker can be stopped by clicking anywhere on the screen to display the total win amount immediately.
• Payline wins and the total win are also displayed on the strip located at the bottom of the reels or the game window.

Paylines:

• Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Paylines can be activated and their shape displayed by progressively clicking Lines.
• Only active paylines can register wins.
• There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows how much is being bet in total on the game round. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

About payouts:

• Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout.
• If two payline winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are accumulated.
• Winning combinations must start from the left most reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol appears anywhere on reels. During the main game, it can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination. During the Free Games, also substitutes for . There is also a separate payout for three or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as shown in the paytable.

Five Wild symbols on an active payline trigger the Progressive Jackpot if qualified or pay the max win according to the paytable if the player does not qualify for the Jackpot. More information about the Progressive Jackpot can be found below.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on any particular payline. 5, 6 or 7 Scatter symbols anywhere on reels pay winnings multiplied by 2x total bet.

8 to 15 Scatter symbols appearing simultaneously anywhere on the reels during the main game trigger 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 35 or 70 Free Games respectively and pay separately; the winnings are multiplied by the total bet as described in the paytable.

Progressive Jackpot

One of the possible wins is the progressive jackpot. In this game, a player is qualified to win the Progressive Jackpot if playing with maximum number of active paylines (25) and betting with any of the four highest possible coin sizes. The progressive jackpot is won upon getting 5 Wild symbols on an active payline. There are four different progressive pots and four seed pots, one for each coin size respectively. Players only contribute to the pots they are qualified to win.

Jackpot Fund

The progressive jackpot fund is composed of two parts – the seed and the progressive pot. The jackpot fund begins at the seed value, which is the guaranteed minimum amount of prize money contributed by the casinos. This ensures that even if you get a jackpot result in the game right after someone else has won the jackpot, you will still get a large win.

The rest of the jackpot amount comes from a progressive share, which is accumulated over time based on the bets that are made within the game. A small amount of money is added into the progressive pot for each bet that is made in the game by the players, in each of the casinos offering it, equal to a percentage of that bet (called the contribution rate).

Please note:

• The mechanics of the game prohibit simultaneous jackpot winnings. If two players win the jackpot in close succession, the first player will be awarded the seed and the progressive pot, and the second player will win the seed together with any possible progressive share that has accumulated between the two wins.
• In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
• If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
• If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
