Overall
A Slot machine has three spinning reels with 22 positions per reel marked with symbols. Each time a spin is made, the three reels come to rest. The payoffs for the different winning combinations are shown in a window at the top of each Slot machine.
How to Play
The most important thing to remember: the outcome is completely random. There is no greater or less chance of a favorable outcome from one spin to the next, the widely held belief that a machine that hasn't paid out the jackpot for a long time is due a big payout is illogical.
To maximize your returns you should know the rules of the casino you are playing at.
Then you must deposit money into the machine to begin playing Slots. You must select a bill type at the right hand side of the Slots screen. You can toggle through the different bill types by clicking on appropriate denomination. Once you have made your selection, deposit the bill into the Slot machine by clicking on the insert bill area. You should see a bill move into the Slot machine. You may then select which coin denomination you wish to play - $0.25, $1, $2, or $5. You may change your bet by clicking “right arrow” and “left arrow.”
Once you have deposited to the Slot machine and selected a coin denomination, the amount of coins you have available with an initial bet of 1 displayed in the Bet field. The Bet field displays the amount of coins you have selected to bet that spin. The BALANCE field will not change when you change the coin denomination since they show your balance in dollars. Once you have deposited money into the Slot machine and chosen a coin denomination, you may then click on the "BET ONE" button up to a maximum of three times which corresponds to the maximum bet of 3 coins. You may then start the reels spinning by clicking on the "SPIN REELS" button. If you would like to play with the maximum amount of coins (3) per spin, you may alternatively choose to simply click the "BET MAX" button. When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown on the top of each machine. Upon placing your next bet the credits in the Paid field will be added to your Credits. To turn your machine credits back into regular chips, click on the "CASH OUT" button.
You have a choice of playing on several slot machines but you can only change them when your hand is finished.
