Click on the deposit boxes, one after another, and claim the prizes until you hit an alarmed one. The bonus game is finished then, and you return to regular Safecracker. When you have collected another three keys, you enter the bonus game again.
Progressive Jackpot: Safecracker has a progressive jackpot as well. A certain percentage of every bet you make goes to the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot if you get three highest rank symbols (the dollar bills) along the payline, while playing for max bet.
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).
The
bonus game consists of a matador on the left side of the pay
table and a bull on the right side of the pay table. To
be eligible for
the bonus game you need to bet 3 credits. The bonus feature
starts when you spin a matador (reel 1) and a bull symbol
(reel 3) on the same
spin. The bonus game is a Bullfight. You can choose the winner
(click a symbol next to the paytable) – the bull or the matador. The bull symbol on the reel charges
the matador symbol. Either the bull will flatten the matador
or the matador will successfully dodge the bull. You win the
bonus (200 credits) if you have chosen the winner correctly.
If you made the wrong selection, a nominal amount is awarded
(10 credits).
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.
