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.
