one payline, and three coin slot machine.
It has a wild, multiplier symbol and the maximum payout
is 8,000 coins.

Light Speed
is a 3-reel 1-line system-wide Progressive slot machine with
a wild symbol. The pay table is displayed on the machine. The
progressive jackpot total is displayed just above the reels,
and re-starts at $700 every time the progressive jackpot is won.
This machine may only be played in denominations of $.25, and
only a 3-coin bet (max bet) allows the player to participate
in the progressive. The “Robot” symbol is also
“wild,” matching any non-“Light Speed” symbol.
You must make a maximum bet (3-coins) in order to qualify for
the bonus part of the game – the Light Speed meter, which
is represented by the lights going up both sides of the machine.
When you hit a “Light Speed” icon in the payline, then
the Light Speed meter is increased. A winning spin then pays
the payout on the payline multiplied by the level reached on
the Light Speed meter. The maximum multiplier for the Light Speed
meter is seven, and once a winning spin has occurred, the Light
Speed meter is set back to one. Win the progressive jackpot when
you hit three laser guns at the top (7x) level of the Light Speed
meter.
Payout percentages are the most commonly used form of differentiating slot machines, and the most often used form of advertising slots by the casinos. Many casinos offer "98% payback slots " or some other high number as their payback percentage. This is most often thought of as "98% of the total amount of money deposited into the machine will be returned to the player". People tend to think this means if they play through $100, they should expect to have $98 come back to them. This is a bit of a fallacy however, because the return percentage is a theoretical one based on an infinite timeline. This means if you were to keep playing the slots game forever, you would eventually have made back 98% of what you put in. Most people don't usually play long enough to hit a big jackpot however, and winning that jackpot is part of the calculated 98%. This means if you play and don't win big, chances are you're actual return percentage will be significantly lower.

What do I mean by traps? I mean slot machines that aren't entirely up front about what they offer you. The biggest trap by far is the full coins trap. There are many slot machines in Vegas that advertise great payback percentages and amazing jackpots, but they also advertise themselves as 'quarter slots ' or 'nickel slots ', which is a little misleading. The majority of these machines require you to play multiple coins in order to be eligible for some or any of its available jackpots. Many of them require that you are playing the maximum number of coins possible on the machine in order to be able to win the jackpot that probably convinced you to play it in the first place! So be very wary, you may find yourself in front of a machine that has three cars lined up in a row making you think you've won the grand jackpot, but no lights will flash, no sounds will erupt, if you only played one coin.

There are many, many myths around the Internet trying to convince you that the casinos in Las Vegas have masterminded the way they place their slots , with loose slots more visible than tight slots . You will undoubtedly read about how slot machines near the isles, on raised carousels, or near the entrances and exits pay out more and more often than other slots in the casino. The logic is based on the idea that the casino wants any winner on a slot machine to be seen by as many people as possible, convincing them to play too. While this may be a fairly logical assumption, it seems as though if it was true once in the past, it sadly no longer is. Recently Michael Shackleford of the wizard of odds has done some fairly systematic tests of casinos around Vegas and found no difference between the payouts on machines located randomly, and those in previously though of 'loose' spots.
