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.

You can turn
the paylines on through one of two different methods in the interface.
If you click on the Bet One button, the number of active paylines
will increase by one. If all five paylines are already turned
on, and you click on the Bet One button, then the number of active
paylines will reset to one. The Bet One button will be enabled
regardless of the balance or the credits in the machine. You
can also select paylines by clicking on the payline indicators,
which are located to the left and right of the wheelhouse. If
you click on a payline indicator, then all of the paylines up
to and including the line associated with the indicator are turned
on. All other paylines are turned off. For instance, if you click
on the third payline indicator, then the first, second and third
paylines become active, and the fourth and fifth paylines are
turned off. If you click on the first payline indicator, then
only the first payline is active. If you click on the fifth payline
indicator, then all five paylines become active. You cannot selectively
turn on individual paylines (for instance, you can not activate
the first, third, and fifth paylines, and turn off the second
and fourth paylines).
Frost Bite is a three reel, one payline, and two coin slot machine with a wild, multiplier symbol and the maximum payout is 1,600 coins. The Frost Bite symbol is a wild, multiplier symbol. This means it substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations, and multiplies the payout. A single Frost Bite symbol doubles the payout of any combination it completes. Two Frost Bite symbols quadruple the payout of any combination they complete. Note: Three Frost Bite symbols on the payline create a winning combination as shown in the Payout Schedule.
HARBOUR MASTER
is a single pay-line slot machine, which means that payouts occur
on the center pay-line only. The CLOCK is a wild symbol and if
it lands ANYWHERE on the reels you win. Harbour Master Slot has
an auto play feature where you can set the slot to play up to
500 spins and select the number of seconds between spins. For
every coin that you put in you increase your payout. When the
reels stop spinning the symbol combinations along the center
pay-line are checked. You get paid out for any winning combination
falling on the pay-line.
