Jazz Time is
a 5-reel progressive 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. Jazz Time slots 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. Win by lining up instrument icons on any
of the nine pay lines. Receive three pieces of a drum (a set
of drumsticks, a snare, and a hi-hat) and watch them combine
to give you a instant bonus win! Get three grand piano icons
anywhere on your screen and enter the jam session bonus round,
where you can get a jam session with all 4 instruments playing
in harmony. Click on any instrument (Bass, Piano, Trumpet and
Guitar). You win the coins for each instrument that plays the
proper tune in harmony with the bass line rift. Once you miss,
the bonus game is over and you keep the bonus that you have won
thus far. The amount you win is dependent on the total amount
of coins you have played, so the more coins you bet, the more
you can win. All of the pays, with the exception of the bonus
game winners, are played from left to right. That means that
you win when you line up the icons starting from the leftmost
wheel. To see what each combination pays, just click on the “Pay
Table” button. Jazz Time may also be configured as a local
progressive game, where a Bet Max (maximum bet) wager and hitting
five “Microphones” on the pay line wins you the local
progressive jackpot total, which appears just above the reels.
I had a white rat named Elmo who didn't get fed until he learned to press
a bar in his cage. Whenever he pressed it, a pellet fell into his dish.
Elmo quickly learned to press the bar when he got hungry.
Then one day we (the professor and the rest of us budding psychologists)
changed the rules. Sometimes we gave Elmo dinner when he pressed the bar
- and sometimes we didn't. poor Elmo no longer knew when to expect his food.
So you know what he did? He pounded that bar relentlessly until the food
finally came. Sound familiar?
The biggest lesson we learned from Elmo was that if you want to make
behavior stick, don't reward it all the time - reward it now and then.
This strategy is called random reinforcement, and it's the same principle
at work on us when we play slot machines.
