Mid-Life Crisis
is a 5-reel, system-wide Progressive Slot machine. To view the
pay table you must click on the “Pay Table” button
located next to the red “Cash Out” button on the lower
left side of the machine. The progressive jackpot total is displayed
on the bottom of the machine, between your balance and the chips,
and re-starts at $25,000 every time the progressive jackpot is
won. This machine may only be played in the single denomination
of $.25. To play, put money in the machine by clicking on the
chips in the lower right corner and press “Bet Max.”
This will play the maximum bet (9 paylines and 45 coins), giving
you the maximum chance to win and automatically spins the reels.
If you’d like to play fewer lines or fewer coins per line,
just select the lines you want by using the “Select Lines”
and “Bet One” buttons. When you have the bet you’d
like, just press “Spin,” and wait for a win. Win by
lining up items on any of the nine paylines. Receive 5 “Sports
Cars” on any max pay line and you win the $100,000 sports
car super jackpot or $100,000 in cool hard cash! It is your choice!
There are two bonus rounds attainable in Mid-Life Crisis. Hit
three mid-life symbols (bald guy, toupee and gold chain) anywhere
on the screen and they will assemble to pay you a big money scatter
bonus. Or, hit three “lovely ladies” and you enter
the fountain of youth bonus round, where you can win up to 4,000
credits when you have bet with max coins and max paylines. Then
find where all the money is hiding. You will be presented with
“adventure ideas”, which is located on the left side
of the screen or the miracle youth tonic, which is located on
the right hand side of the screen. Keep choosing adventure ideas
until one of your “adventures” turns into funny symbol.
For example, one of the lovely ladies can turn into an older
woman or a baby. If you choose the Miracle Youth Tonic, all of
the wins will cycle through automatically, ending with a skeleton.
In each sub game, you will win an amount relative to your total
bet on the spin. All of the pays, with the exception of the bonus
game winners, are played from left to right. That means that
you win when you line up the icons starting from the leftmost
wheel. To see what each combination pays, just click on the “Pay
Table” button.
Liberty Bell.The Beginning of the Slot Machine.
German Immigrant, Charles Fey, credited with inventing slot machine.
In California, (especially San Francisco), in the 1890's, gambling was a popular type of entertainment. Many forms of slot machines existed at that time.
Charles Fey aimed at competing with these
existing slot machines with his "Liberty Bell". The "Liberty Bell" had many unique features that soon distinguished his machines.
Players liked the Liberty Bell, and any good establishment
gives the players what they like. The Liberty Bell was a big hit, and Charles Fey was given credit for inventing a "new"
standard in slot machines, that to this day has some
influence.
In the 1890's, slot machines can best be described
as semi-legal. By paying the players, slot machines were made illegal, and eventually banned in California. Charles Fey continued to produce his machines regardless.
He knew his machines were popular and that the end users
were the ones using his inventions illegally. Why should he
give up producing, when as far as he was concerned, they
were legal if used correctly?
He continued to produce and sell his inventions, and was eventually
arrested and fined.
It was never legal to produce or own slot machines
again in California as long as Charles Fey was alive. Production
was legal in other states and these producers often copied his
machines and sold them to his clients.
I wonder what Charles Fey would be thinking of doing in the year
2000 with Internet gambling and online casinos. Are we missing
out on the latest invention of the "Liberty Bell"?
