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.
A single Lion’s Head symbol and a single
Cherry symbol on the payline will complete the winning
combination of two Cherry symbols. With 3 coins bet,
a two Cherry symbols combination pays out 3 coins.
However, a Lion’s Head symbol is displayed,
so the payout is 3 x 2 = 6 coins.
Two Lion’s Head symbols and a 3-Bar symbol
on the payline, combine to produce a three 3-Bar symbols
combination. With 2 coins bet, a three 3-Bar symbols
combination pays out 200 coins. However, two Lion’s
Head symbols are showing, so the payout is 200 x 4
= 800 coins.

Martian Money 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.
