The Wild Jukebox symbol is wild. This means that it
substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning
combinations, except the Scatter Glitter Ball symbol.
The Wild Jukebox symbol only appears in reels 2,
3 and 4.
Only one winning combination is paid out per enabled
payline. If there is more than one possible winning
combination on a payline, you are paid out the value
of the highest combination only.
Example:
1. One Wild Jukebox symbol on reel 2, and two Scatter
Glitter Ball symbols scattered anywhere on the five
reels, do not complete a scatter winning combination.
The Wild Jukebox symbol cannot substitute for a Scatter
Glitter Ball symbol, and three or more Scatter Glitter
Ball symbols must be displayed to complete a scatter
winning combination.
2. One Wild Jukebox symbol and two Wingtip Shoes
symbols displayed on reels 1, 2 and 3, on the third
enabled payline, completes a three Wingtip Shoes symbols
combination and pay out 10 coins.
The Scatter Glitter Ball 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 three or more Scatter Glitter Ball symbols appear.
Scatter wins are calculated by multiplying the Scatter
Glitter Ball symbols payout, as shown in the Payout
Schedule by the total number of credits bet.
If you have a scatter win and a regular win, you
are paid out for both wins, as the scatter symbol
does not need to appear on an enabled payline to win.
The scatter win is added to the payline win.
Example:
1. One Scatter Glitter Ball symbol scattered anywhere
on the five reels, and two Wild Jukebox symbols displayed
on reels 2 and 3 on an enabled payline do not complete
a winning combination. The Wild Jukebox symbol does
not substitute for a Scatter Glitter Ball symbol,
and a minimum of three Scatter Glitter Ball symbols
complete a winning scatter combination.
2. If you have selected a 0.50 coin and bet 1 coin
on each of the 9 paylines, your total bet amount is
0.50 x 1 coin = 0.50 credits per payline x 9 paylines
= 4.50 total credits bet.
Three Scatter Glitter Ball symbols, scattered anywhere
on the five reels, complete a scatter winning combination
as shown in the Payout Schedule. Three Scatter Glitter
Ball symbols pay out the total number of credits bet
multiplied by 10.
Therefore your total payout is 4.50 total credits
bet x 10 = 45 credits.
3. If you have selected a 0.50 coin and bet 1 coin
on each of the 9 paylines, your total bet amount is
0.50 x 1 coin = 0.50 credits per payline x 9 paylines
= 4.50 total credits bet.
Three Scatter Glitter Ball symbols, scattered anywhere
on the five reels, and three Wintip Shoes symbols
on an enabled payline, complete two winning combinations,
as shown in the Payout Schedule. The three Scatter
Glitter Ball symbols complete a scatter winning combination
and pay out the total number of credits bet multiplied
by 5. So, you are paid 4.50 total credits bet x 10
= 45 credits.
The three Wingtip Shoes symbols complete a 3 Wingtip
Shoes winning combination and pay out 10 coins. As
you selected a 0.50 coin size, you are paid 0.50 x
10 = 5 credits.
Therefore, your total payout is 45 credits + 5 credits
= 50 credits.
In a modern slot machine,
the odds of hitting a particular symbol or combination of symbols
depends on how the virtual reel is set up. As we saw in the last
section, each stop on the actual reel may correspond to more than one
stop on the virtual reel. Simply put, the odds of hitting a particular
image on the actual reel depend on how many virtual stops correspond to
the actual stop.
In a typical weighted slot machine, the top jackpot stop (the one with
the highest-paying jackpot image) for each reel corresponds to only one
virtual stop. This means that the chance of hitting the jackpot image on
one reel is 1 in 64. If all of the reels are set up the same way, the
chances of hitting the jackpot image on all three reels is 1 in 643, or
262,144. For machines with a bigger jackpot, the virtual reel may have
many more stops. This decreases the odds of winning that jackpot
considerably.
The losing blank stops above
and below the jackpot image may correspond to more virtual stops than
other images. Consequently, a player is most likely to hit the blank
stops right next to the winning stop. This creates the impression that
they "just missed" the jackpot, which encourages them to keep gambling,
even though the proximity of the actual stops is inconsequential.
A machine's program is
carefully designed and tested to achieve a certain payback percentage.
The payback percentage is the percentage of the money that is put in
that is eventually paid out to the player. With a payback percentage of
90, for example, the casino would take about 10 percent of all money put
into the slot machine and give away the other 90 percent. With any
payback percentage under a 100 (and they're all under 100), the casino
wins over time.
In most gambling
jurisdictions, the law requires that payback percentages be above a
certain level (usually somewhere around 75 percent). The payback
percentage in most casino machines is much higher than the minimum --
often in the 90- to 97-percent range. Casinos don't want their machines
to be a lot tighter than their competitors' machines or the players will
take their business elsewhere.
The odds for a particular
slot machine are built into the program on the machine's computer chip.
In most cases, the casino cannot change the odds on a machine without
replacing this chip. Despite popular opinion, there is no way for the
casino to instantly "tighten up" a machine.
Machines don't loosen up on
their own either. That is, they aren't more likely to pay the longer you
play. Since the computer always pulls up new random numbers, you have
exactly the same chance of hitting the jackpot every single time you
pull the handle. The idea that a machine can be "ready to pay" is all in
the player's head, at least in the standard system.

coin slot machine. It has a wild, scatter symbol and
