Slot machines are actual free-standing "machines" easily identified by their spinning reels and pull handles. The concept is simple, drop in some coins, pull the handle and hope the reel
symbols line up. Different symbols win different amounts, and there's usually a jackpot available to be won.
Slot machines are a total game of chance. There are no rules to learn, and the outcome is totally random. The ease of play, the potential huge payoffs, the noise and the excitement level
around the slot area all contribute to a high entertainment value for some.
Slot machines come in a variety of forms with diverse symbols on the wheels and numerous payout systems. Slot machines can have from three to five reels/wheels and one to five payoff lines.
In all of them the basic idea is the same, to line up particular symbols on the payout line. The less likely a combination is to occur, the greater the payoff.
The most basic slot machines require you to bet one coin (a fixed amount such as a dollar), they have only three reels, only one payout line, and pay a multiple of the bet coins value
(e.g. Three cherries on the payout line will result in a payout 300 times the bet coins value). The player inserts the coin and pulls a handle (or presses a button on the front panel) and waits for
the wheels to stop on the payout line to see if, and how much they have won (the payout symbols and payoff values are posted on the front of the machine). The more complex machines accept
more than one coin (up to five), can have up to five wheels, and many also have up to five payout lines (three across and two diagonal).
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.

Bonkers!
is a 3-reel 1-line classic slot machine. The pay table is displayed
on the machine. Bonkers! slots may be played in denominations
of $.05, $.25, $.50, $1, and $5. Once you hit two “Bonkers!”
on the pay line you receive 3 guaranteed free winning spins.
When you hit three “Bonkers!,” you receive 10 guaranteed
free winning spins. These spins are registered on the “Free
Spins” meter just to the right of the pay table, and additional
free spins may not be won during your free spins. Hitting three
“red 7’s” during the free spins will end the free
re-spins and return you to regular play. Bonkers! may also be
configured as a local progressive game, where a 3-coin bet (max
bet) hitting three “red 7’s” on the payline wins
you the progressive jackpot total, the current jackpot is located
just above the reels.
