Cave Slots is a classic slot game. When you place your bet
and pull the handle (or click "Play" button), the discs will start
rotating. When they stop, there will be three symbols in the center line.
Your winning depends on these symbols and their order:
.
The Wild Blizzard symbol is a wild, multiplier symbol.
This means it substitutes for other symbols to complete
winning combinations and doubles the payout.
The Squirrel 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
Squirrel symbols appear
.
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.
