The Thor symbol is a wild, multiplier symbol. This
means that it substitutes for any other symbol to
complete winning combinations, except the scatter
symbol. The Thor symbol doubles the payout of any
combination it completes.
The Rams symbol is a scatter symbol. This means that
it does not need to appear in a line on an enabled
payline to win. It can be scattered anywhere on the
five reels, provided two or more Rams symbols appear.
The Thor symbol is a wild, multiplier
symbol. This means that it substitutes for any other
symbol to complete winning combinations, except the
scatter symbol.
The Thor symbol doubles the payout of any combination
it completes.
Multiple Thor symbols on a payline create winning
combinations as shown in the Payout Table.
1. Two Thor symbols and a single Ace symbol on an
enabled payline complete a three Ace symbols combination,
and pay out 10 coins. However, two Thor symbols are
displayed, so the payout is 10 x 2 = 20 coins. Since
two Thor symbols pay out 10 coins, you are paid out
for the three Ace symbols combination, as it is the
higher value payout.
2. Three Thor symbols and two Hammer symbols on an
enabled payline complete a five Hammer symbols combination,
and pay out 800 coins. However, three Thor symbols
are displayed, so the payout is 800 x 2 = 1,600 coins.
Since three Thor symbols pay out 200 coins, you are
paid out for the five Hammer symbols combination,
as it is the higher value payout.
3. Four Thor symbols and a single Nine symbol on
an enabled payline complete a five Nine symbols combination,
and pay out 100 coins. Since, four Thor symbols payout
2,000 coins, you are paid out for the four Thor symbols
combination, as it is the higher value payout.
4. Five Thor symbols on an enabled payline complete
a winning combination, as per the payout schedule,
and pay out 10,000 coins.
The Rams symbol is a scatter symbol. This means that
it does not need to appear in a line on an enabled
payline to win.
It can be scattered anywhere on the five reels, provided
that two or more Rams symbols appear.
Winnings are calculated by multiplying the number
of Rams symbols by the total number of credits bet.
If you have a scatter win and a normal win, you
are paid out for both wins, as the scatter symbol
does not need to appear on an enabled payline to win.
Example:
1. One Rams symbol and one Thor symbol scattered
anywhere on the five reels, does not complete a winning
combination, as the Thor symbol does not substitute
for the scatter symbol. A minimum of two Rams symbols
completes a winning scatter combination.
2. Three Rams symbols scattered anywhere on the five
reels, completes a scatter winning combination. Three
Rams symbols pay out the total amount of credits bet
multiplied by 5. If you have selected a 0.50 coin
and bet 5 coins on each of the 9 Paylines, your total
bet amount is 0.50 x 5 coins = 2.50 credits per payline
x 9 paylines = 22.50 total credits bet. Therefore,
your total payout is 22.50 total credits bet x 5 =
112.50 credits won.
3. Three Rams symbols scattered anywhere on the five
reels, and three Horn symbols on an enabled payline,
complete two winning combinations. Three Rams symbols
pay out 112.50 credits, and three Horn symbols pay
out 10 coins x 2.50 credits bet per payline = 25 credits.
Therefore, the total payout is 112.50 + 25 = 137.50
credits.
Red Sands is a 5 reel and 20 payline video slot with an Australian Marsupial theme. The Kangaroo is a substitute symbol while a breathtaking Moonscape is the scatter symbol and triggers a respin feature whenever 2 or more appear left to right or right to left. The triggering Moonscape reels are held during the respin round, up to 10 respins. Only scatter pays are awarded during the re-spin round. During the respin round, the Kangaroo can substitute for a Moonscape. The prize is doubled when one or more Kangaroos appear in a winning combination.
An online slot operates in much the same manner as the machines found
in today's casinos. They're all reliant on a random number generator
(RNG). In the casino, the RNG is built into the machine; online, it's
written into the programming.
The number of "reels" and the number of coins a player inserts determines
the overall payback of any machine. In days gone by, randomness was limited
by physical technology. However, with computerized number generators
there's another fly in the ointment in that the programmer can write
the script for any payback percentage.
This might make a player wary of computerized and/or online slot machines
but the truth is, if the programmer creates a script that pays few winners,
players will either lose all their money or quit playing in frustration.
This leads to casino losses in the long run. Therefore, programs are
written to provide balanced outcomes based on a payback percentage.
Payback percentage is simply what the machine can be expected to return
to players in the long run. For example, a machine set at 96 percent
should return 96 cents out of every dollar. The house gets to keep 4
cents. This doesn't mean you will get 96 cents back for every dollar
you play. You might get less or more or you could hit the jackpot and
get much, much more than your dollar. What's important to understand
is the expression "long term."
The RNG is coordinated with the symbols on the machine to produce a
96 percent payback after thousands of thousands of tries. So, in essence,
your own payback percentage will depend on one thing and one thing only-luck.
Even if a program is set to pay 50 percent, if you are in the right place
at the right time, you could realize a profit.
