How to play

The number of lines can be increased again by clicking on the up arrow button on the left of 'LINES'. Selected lines are lit, whilst unselected lines remain dark.
  • The number of selected lines is multiplied by the 'bet per line value' and the multiplied bet amount is displayed under the bet meter, which is placed at the top of the game screen.
  • The paytable can be viewed by clicking on the 'PAYTABLE' button placed on the bottom-left of the game screen. The prizes displayed in the paytable are for a unit bet and are shown as credits.
