To qualify for the Tomb bonus game you must have three or more Idol symbols displayed in a line, on an enabled payline. The Tomb Raider symbol does not substitute for the Idol symbol to activate the Tomb bonus game. In the Tomb bonus game you choose idols to give you the highest bonus win amounts. Twelve idols are displayed. Behind each idol is a random value. This value is multiplied by the number of coins you bet per payline, to give you a bonus win amount. Only the bonus win amount is displayed. The number of Idol symbols displayed to activate the bonus game indicates how many idols you can choose.
There is one way to almost guarantee yourself a good time, satiate your
appetite for slots, and possibly even come out ahead - and that's to enter
a slots tournament. Many casinos now offer promotional slots tournaments
for a fixed entry fee, which entitles you to participate in a multi-day
tournament event, enjoy free room and board at the casino hotel while the
tournament is in progress, and be wined, dined, and treated like the valued
customer you are by casino personnel. Not only that, your participation
gives you the opportunity to compete against other enthusiasts to win thousands
- even hundreds of thousands - of dollars in tournament prize money.
Most slots tournaments have a number of rounds in which contestants
are given the same amount of machines credits and told to play them
until the time is up or their machine credits run out. The contestant
with the most credits at the end of each round wins a substantial prize
and a spot in the final round. The top prizes are usually rewarded to
the top three finalists.
If you enjoy the thrill and excitement of playing slot machines, slots
tournaments may provide jus the advantage you need to come out ahead.
Because slot playing relies solely button quickly (to get as many chances
as you can to hit the jackpot in a limited amount of the time) and you
can also find tournaments that return the greatest share of your entrance
fee in prize money and room and board comps.
.
and the information in the last two sections to get a rough
idea of the machines you should be playing. For example, if you want
$1000 to last for four days of five hours play (20 hours total), that
means you can afford to lose $50 per hour. With average results (assuming
90% payout) and expected losses, you should be playing quarter machines
at three quarters per spin.
If you come up nickels in your calculations but want to play dollars,
give up some of your playing time in order to up the ante. Then, do
as you promised and quit playing when the money runs out!
For those of you who have the courage to play way beyond your means,
remember: there are more promising and lucrative ways for you to invest
your time and money. Dumping your savings into a slot machine, though
seemingly exciting and daring, will not resolve inner conflict, dissatisfaction
with your present situation, or any other business or personal problem
that may be temporarily numbed by the mindless exchange of coins. Set
realistic financial limits, and don't play Russian roulette with your
future.

Super
Diamond Mine is a 5-reel bonus round slot machine. To view the
pay table you must click on the “Pay Table” button
located next to the red “Cash Out” button on the lower
left side of the machine. It may be played in denominations of
$.01, $.05, $.25, $.50, $1, and $5. To play, put money in the
machine by clicking on the chips in the lower right corner and
press “Bet Max.” This will play the maximum bet (9
paylines and 45 coins), giving you the maximum chance to win
and automatically spins the reels. If you’d like to play
fewer lines or fewer coins per line, just select the lines you
want by using the “Select Lines” and “Bet One”
buttons. When you have the bet you’d like, just press “Spin,”
and wait for a win. The game includes a cascading diamond accumulator
and a bonus game where the player finds bonus wins in mine entrances
scattered across a hillside. When diamonds appear on any spot
on the wheel, they cascade in the direction they are pointing.
If a diamond pointing down appears on the top line of the wheel,
the diamond will cascade down and also appears behind each of
the other symbols on that reel. Diamonds appear on the paytable
as wins and each diamond that appears on any played line is also
added to a dynamite meter. When this dynamite meter reaches 99,
the gnome miner will ignite the dynamite, the screen explodes
and the Super Diamond Mine bonus round begins. In the bonus game,
the player chooses the mine entrance that they feel will provide
the highest bonus amount and player will win an amount relative
to their total bet on spin. Once a player chooses a losing mine
entrance, the mine will cave in and the bonus amount that the
player has accumulated up to that point is added to the player’s
balance. A caustic goat will provide commentary during the bonus
round. Once the bonus game ends, the player is brought back to
the game and the dynamite meter is set to zero. All of the pays
can be won on any part of the payline as long as the player has
made a bet on that payline. To see what each combination pays,
just click on the “Pay Table” button.
Here's some advice to play the slot machines,
1. Always load up a progressive machine. The progressives don't
pay as often or as many of the small winning combinations that simple
machines do, so you are actually playing for the jackpot only. In that
case, you have to load them up in order to get the jackpot. Read the
payout table!
2. Pay attention to the sound of the casino. Notice which slot
machines are hitting and which aren't. oftentimes there will seem to
be "hot" carousels and cold ones. Follow like sheep to the
hot ones.
3. Play the progressives with the highest jackpots. It makes
sense to seek the greatest reward if you're willing to take the progressive
risk. As the change person for help in locating top jackpots.
4. Stake out a seemingly hot carousel and spend an evening (between
dinner and second show time) watching how the machines do. Once
you've seen enough, go to sleep. Then come back in the very early hours
of the morning and hit the ones that have been played hard but haven't
hit yet!
5. Resist the temptation to move up the pay scale when you're losing.
Because slots have the worst odds, increasing your level of play can
be the worst bet in the house! If you must keep playing, get off the
progressives and find some simple nonprogressive (flat top) machines.
6. When you finally hit a jackpot¡ just sit there. Take a deep
breath. Don't mistakenly pull the handle again or touch a button. Most
jackpots, especially those that are $1,000 or more, are paid by an attendant
who will come over to verify your win and pay you off in cash.
There is one way to almost guarantee yourself a good time, satiate
your appetite for slots, and possibly even come out ahead , .
