and Gamble.
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.
Lucky Charmer has a Bonus Feature. To qualify to play the Bonus Feature, you must bet three coins per spin. If you bet three coins, and a King Cobra symbol is displayed on the payline, the Bonus Feature is activated. To play the Bonus Feature, do the following:

complete winning combinations, and multiply the payout.

Most modern slot
machines are designed to look and feel like the old mechanical models,
but they work on a complete different principle. The outcome of each
pull is actually controlled by a central computer inside the machine,
not by the motion of the reels.
The computer uses step
motors to turn each reel and stop it at the predetermined point. Step
motors are driven by short digital pulses of electricity controlled by
the computer, rather than the fluctuating electrical current that drives
an ordinary electric motor. These pulses move the motor a set increment,
or step, with great precision.
But even though the
computer tells the reels where to stop, the games are not pre-programmed
to pay out at a certain time. A random number generator at the heart of
the computer ensures that each pull has an equal shot at hitting the
jackpot.
Whenever the slot
machine is turned on, the random number generator is spitting out whole
numbers (typically between 1 and several billion) hundreds of times a
second. The instant you pull the arm back or press the button, the
computer records the next few numbers from the random number generator.
Then it feeds these numbers through a simple program to determine where
the reels should stop.
.
You pull the handle or
press the button, and the computer records the next three numbers from
the random number generator. The first number is used to determine the
position of the first reel, the second number is used for the second
reel and the third number is used for the third reel. For this example,
let's say the first number is 123,456,789.
To determine the
position of the first reel, the computer divides the first random number
by a set value. Typically, slot machines divide by 32, 64,128, 256 or
512. In this example, we'll say the computer divides by 64.
When the computer
divides the random number by the set value, it records the remainder of
the quotient. In our example, it finds that 64 goes into 123,456,789 a
total of 1,929,012 times with a remainder of 21.
Obviously, the
remainder can't be more than 64 or less than 0, so there are only 64
possible end results of this calculation. The 64 possible values act as
stops on a large virtual reel.
Each of the 64 stops
on the virtual reel corresponds to one of the 22 stops on the actual
reel. The computer consults a table that tells it how far to move the
actual reel for a particular value on the virtual reel. Since there are
far more virtual stops than actual stops, some of the actual stops will
be linked to more than one virtual stop.
Computer systems have made slot machines a lot more adaptable, players
can simply press a button to play a game, rather than pull the handle.
For the manufacturers
and slot proprietors, one of the main advantages of the computer system
is that they can easily configure how often the machine pays out (how
loose or tight it is)
