Slot Machines were invented in the late 1800’s by Charles Fey, around the same time as the technological advances that brought us the phonograph, the telephone, and the automobile. Their ease of use, quick results, and bigger payouts for smaller bets, makes them the most popular and most played game in the casino.

How to Play

CHANGING BETS

Slot machine bets are determined by the value/denomination of the coin being played.

For example, $100 will provide the user with 400 25¢ credits (100 ÷ 0.25 = 400). If you increase the coin value to $5, the number of credits drops to 20 (100 ÷ 5 = 20).

All payouts are made using the same value of coin used when the slot machine’s reels are spun.

PLACING BETS

The slot machine has 3 digital displays:

  • Last Win: The number of coins won from the last pull.

  • Credits: The total amount remaining in your balance. This value will adjust according to the coin denomination setting of the slot machine.

  • Bet: The number of coins to be bet on the next pull.

To place your bet before spinning the reels, click the BET ONE button to bet one coin at a time. Each time you click the BET ONE button, you will notice that one coin is removed from the CREDITS value, and the COINS value increases by one. The slot machine accepts a maximum of 3 coins (balance permitting). If you have sufficient credits remaining, you may click the BET MAX button to quickly bet the maximum 3 coins and start the reels spinning.

Click the CLEAR BET button if you wish to return any coins you have bet to your balance. This effectively takes the number of coins shown in the COINS display, and returns them to your total CREDITS.

SPINNING THE REELS

If you click the BET MAX button, the maximum 3 coins are bet and the reels will begin spinning automatically. If you choose to bet one coin at a time using the BET ONE button you must manual spin the reels by either clicking on the SPIN button, or clicking on the slot machine arm to pull it. Both methods will start the reels spinning.

When the reels stop, the final combination determines the payout. You may then bet more coins and spin the reels again.
