Hot Shot is a five-reel, nine payline, and nine coin
slot machine. The multiple paylines increase your
chances of winning.
For every coin that you bet, you enable another payline.
You are paid out for winning combinations on enabled
paylines only.
Winnings are paid out on the highest combination
on each enabled payline only, except for scatter wins.
Scatter wins are added to payline wins.
You are paid out for winning combinations on enabled
paylines only, except for scatter wins. The Scatter
Trophy symbol can appear in any position on the reels.
The Wild Ball symbol does not substitute for a Scatter
Trophy symbol.
Malfunctions void all plays and pays.
Hot Shot has a wild symbol, and a scatter symbol.
The Wild Ball symbol is wild and can substitute for
all other symbol except the Scatter Trophy symbol
to complete winning combinations.
The Wild Ball symbol only appears in reels 2, 3 and
4.
Only one winning combination is paid out per enabled
payline. If there is more than one possible winning
combination on a payline, you are paid out the value
of the highest combination only.
Example:
.
The Scatter Trophy symbol is a scatter symbol. This
means that it does not need to appear in a line on
an enabled payline to win.
It can be scattered anywhere on the five reels provided
that three or more Scatter Trophy symbols appear.
Scatter wins are calculated by multiplying the Scatter
Trophy symbols payout by the total number of credits
bet.
Note:
If you have a scatter win and a regular win, you are
paid out for both wins, as the scatter symbol does
not need to appear on an enabled payline to win. The
scatter win is added to the payline win.
Example:
.
One Scatter Trophy symbol scattered anywhere on
the nine paylines, and two Wild Ball symbols displayed
on reels 2 and 3 do not complete a winning combination,
as the Wild Ball symbol does not substitute for a
Scatter Trophy symbol.
Two Scatter Trophy symbols scattered anywhere on
the nine paylines, and two Wild Ball symbols displayed
on reels 2 and 3 do not complete a winning combination,
as the Wild Ball symbol does not substitute for a
Scatter Trophy symbol.
If you have selected a 0.25 coin and bet 1 coin
on each of the 9 paylines, your total bet amount is
0.25 x 1 coin = 0.25 credits per payline x 9 paylines
= 2.25 total credits bet.
Three Scatter Trophy symbols, scattered anywhere
on the five reels, completes a scatter winning combination
as shown in the Payout Schedule. A three Scatter
Trophy symbols combination pays out the total number
of credits bet multiplied by 5. Therefore your total
payout is 2.25 total credits bet x 5 = 11.25 credits.
If you have selected a 0.50 coin and bet 1 coin
on each of the 9 paylines, your total bet amount
is 0.50 x 1 coin = 0.50 credits per payline x 9
paylines = 4.50 total credits bet.
Three Scatter Trophy symbols, scattered anywhere
on the five reels, and three Cap symbols on an enabled
payline, complete two winning combinations as shown
in the Payout Schedule. The three Scatter Trophy
symbols complete a scatter winning combination and
pays out the total number of credits bet multiplied
by 5. So, you are paid 4.50 total credits bet x
5 = 22.50 credits.
The three Cap symbols complete a 3 Cap winning
combination and pays out 10 coins. As you selected
a 0.50 coin size, you are paid 0.50 x 10 = 5 credits.
Therefore, your total payout is 22.50 credits +
5 credits = 27.50 credits.

In a modern slot machine,
the odds of hitting a particular symbol or combination of symbols
depends on how the virtual reel is set up. As we saw in the last
section, each stop on the actual reel may correspond to more than one
stop on the virtual reel. Simply put, the odds of hitting a particular
image on the actual reel depend on how many virtual stops correspond to
the actual stop.
In a typical weighted slot machine, the top jackpot stop (the one with
the highest-paying jackpot image) for each reel corresponds to only one
virtual stop. This means that the chance of hitting the jackpot image on
one reel is 1 in 64. If all of the reels are set up the same way, the
chances of hitting the jackpot image on all three reels is 1 in 643, or
262,144. For machines with a bigger jackpot, the virtual reel may have
many more stops. This decreases the odds of winning that jackpot
considerably.
The losing blank stops above
and below the jackpot image may correspond to more virtual stops than
other images. Consequently, a player is most likely to hit the blank
stops right next to the winning stop. This creates the impression that
they "just missed" the jackpot, which encourages them to keep gambling,
even though the proximity of the actual stops is inconsequential.
A machine's program is
carefully designed and tested to achieve a certain payback percentage.
The payback percentage is the percentage of the money that is put in
that is eventually paid out to the player. With a payback percentage of
90, for example, the casino would take about 10 percent of all money put
into the slot machine and give away the other 90 percent. With any
payback percentage under a 100 (and they're all under 100), the casino
wins over time.
In most gambling
jurisdictions, the law requires that payback percentages be above a
certain level (usually somewhere around 75 percent). The payback
percentage in most casino machines is much higher than the minimum --
often in the 90- to 97-percent range. Casinos don't want their machines
to be a lot tighter than their competitors' machines or the players will
take their business elsewhere.
The odds for a particular
slot machine are built into the program on the machine's computer chip.
In most cases, the casino cannot change the odds on a machine without
replacing this chip. Despite popular opinion, there is no way for the
casino to instantly "tighten up" a machine.
Machines don't loosen up on
their own either. That is, they aren't more likely to pay the longer you
play. Since the computer always pulls up new random numbers, you have
exactly the same chance of hitting the jackpot every single time you
pull the handle. The idea that a machine can be "ready to pay" is all in
the player's head, at least in the standard system.
