The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter symbol to complete winning combinations. The Wild 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. The Scatter 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 symbols appear. Winnings are calculated by multiplying the number of Scatter symbols by the total number of credits bet. Example: 1. One Scatter symbol and two Wild symbols scattered anywhere on the five reels, does not complete a winning combination. A minimum of three Scatter symbols completes a winning combination. 2. Two Scatter symbols, scattered anywhere on the five reels, does not complete a winning combination. A minimum of three Scatter symbols completes a winning combination. 3. Three Scatter symbols, scattered anywhere on the five reels, completes a winning combination. Three Scatter symbols pay out the total amount of coins bet multiplied by 5. If you have selected a 0.25 coin and 9 paylines, your total bet amount is 0.25 x 9 = 2.25 coins. Therefore your total pay out is 2.25 coins x 5 = 11.25 coins. 4. Three Scatter symbols, scattered anywhere on the five reels and three Watermelon symbols on an enabled payline completes two winning combinations. Three Scatter symbols pay out 11.25 coins and three Watermelon symbols pays out 10 x 2.25 = 22.50 coins. Therefore the total pay out is 22.50 + 11.25 = 33.75 coins. Malfunctions void all plays and pays. Winnings are paid out on the highest combination on each enabled payline only. You are paid out for winning combinations on enabled paylines only.

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"? .
