A payline is a 'line' on slot machine reels on which symbols must line up on in order to win. Some slot machines have only 1 payline, some have 3, others
have 5, 9 and even 15! Generally speaking, you must pay a coin to play each line on a machine, but have the option of
not playing all available lines.
So, on a 3 line machine, you can play the center line for one coin - the center line and the line above it for two coins - or all 3 lines for 3 coins. If
you don't play a specific line and a winning combination comes up on it - then you don't win.
Classic slot machines have 3 reels and only 1 line - a horizontal payline that goes through the middle of each reel. You may be able to wager more than
one coin per spin on these games - but the amount will apply to wins on the same payline. (You win more by betting more, but your chances of winning stay the same)
Other 3 reel slots often have three paylines, one in the middle, one above it, and one below it. Betting 1 coin activates the middle payline, betting 2 coins opens up 2 paylines, and
3 coins plays all 3 lines on a spin.
5 reel slot machines typically have quite a few paylines, from 5 to 15. These paylines aren't necessarily straight lines - there's diagonal matches and lines
that actually bend. How the lines go differs from machine to machine, but the lines should be marked clearly on each game.
1¢ to
a maximum of $1.00. Your wager is placed on each line, up to
5 coins per line. Wins are recorded from the left side of the
machine to the right. Winning totals vary depending on the symbols
you have lined up. Also, if you receive 2 or more Banana scatter
symbols anywhere on the screen, you win the corresponding prize
form 2X to 500X your bet. The Monkey symbol is wild and completes
winning combinations with 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols. Within
the game, click on the PAY TABLE button to see the winning combinations
and paylines.
