Vegas Fortune is a three reel, five payline, and five
coin slot machine. The multiple paylines increase
your chances of winning. It has a wild symbol and
the maximum payout is 5,000 coins.
For every coin that you bet, you enable another payline.
You are paid out for winning combinations on enabled
paylines only.
The Vegas Fortune Dollar symbol is wild and substitutes
for any other symbol to complete winning combinations.
Example:
1. A single Vegas Fortune Dollar symbol, a 1-Bar symbol
and a 2-Bar symbol on an enabled payline completes
an any 3 Bar symbols combination and pays out 4 coins.
2. Two Vegas Fortune Dollar symbols
and a 3-Bar symbol on an enabled payline complete
a three 3-Bar symbols combination and pays out 60
coins.
Cabin Fever
is a five reel, twenty payline, and two hundred coin slot machine
with a wild, multiplier symbol, a scatter symbol, a Free Spins
bonus game, and a Gamble bonus game. A two Sun symbols combination
activates the Free Spins bonus game, provided one symbol is displayed
on reel 1, and one symbol is displayed on reel 5. There is no
payout for any Sun symbol combination. The "Wild Blizzard" symbol is a wild, multiplier symbol. This means it substitutes
for other symbols to complete winning combinations. The Wild
Blizzard symbol doubles the payout of any combination it completes.
The Wild Blizzard symbol does not substitute for the Sun symbol
to activate the Free Spins bonus game. And it does not substitute
for the Squirrel symbol to complete scatter winning combinations.
Multiple Wild Blizzard symbols on an enabled payline create Wild
Blizzard winning combinations. Wild Blizzard winning combination
payouts are not doubled. The Wild Blizzard symbol only multiplies
payouts if it acts as a wild symbol. The Squirrel 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 two or more Squirrel symbols appear.
The picture above is a payout schedule from a "Red White and Blue"
slot machine.
As you can see, if you were to hit the jackpot betting one coin would
win you 2,000 coins, 4,000 coins for a two coin bet and 10,000 coins for
the maximum bet of 3 coins.
losing slot players will not pay attention to payout schedules, where
as smart players who win at slots do. If you walk by the above machine
and the first thing you notice is 10,000 coins, you might as well forget
about becoming a serious slot player.
The key to win playing slot machines is to understand the payout
schedule. You should play a slot machine that offers the highest payout
for lower winning combinations, not just play a machine because it has
the highest jackpot.
Reasons for doing so, are the simple fact that your chances of
winning the large jackpot are a lot lower than winning smaller payouts.
By walking around the casino, you should look at all slot machine payout
schedules before you begin to play.
For instance, say you decide to only play quarter slots and see two
identical machines. When you compare the payout schedules, machine 1
offers 25 coins for the lowest payout and machine 2 offers 50 coins.
Which would you choose?

It is easy to see why casinos like slot machines so much. The slot machines take up very little floor space, break time is only when they
do breakdown and that is rare for a machine. The breakdowns are handled quickly by a slots techician, usually just a simple computer board change is involved and the faulty machine is back in business. There is no way that casino management could have ever predicted the popularity of the slot machine today. All management has done is provide the gamblers with what they want, and believe it or not, slot machines are now one of the most popular of all casino games.
In this day and age, it would not be fair to refer to slot machines as "one armed bandits". We all know, most machines do have that big old handle that earned it it's name but, if all you want to do is push buttons, you don't need that handle at all. Sit down, get comfortable, it is up to you, if you want to feed the machine at the beginning of each spin of the wheels or you can simply insert the bill of your choice and select "bet max".
The interesting question is, we know casino management could not have made these machines as popular as they are. What is it about slot machines that grab and hold the gamblers attention for such a long period of time? This time period I am referring to started in the mid 1900's and continues to grow to this day.
Do many people consider gambling to be entertainment? Entertainment, for most of us, is something that does not require alot of "brain work". After a long day, we feel the brain deserves a rest and our forms of entertainment usually include this. The slot machine enters the picture and for many, this must be what they were looking for.
Slots do offer the opportunity for a big payout. This may be one of the factors that has lead to the huge popularity of these machines. Some of the jackpots on the progressive machines exceed 10 million dollars. I do play the lotteries when the pots get big and a slot machine gives me a way of playing for a huge pot just by taking one more spin of the wheels. The size of the progressive is one of the major factors that has assisted the rising use of slot machines by gamblers.
The ringing of the bells may have helped the continued rise in popularity. Maybe it is the graphics on the wheels and could be the lights. There is also the possibility that the names of the machines are what draw the gamblers to sit down and play. I think it is fair to say, that it is not just one factor that has led to what the slot machine is today, it is a combination of all of the above and more.
Sit down, relax and don't gamble with more money than you can afford to lose.
