Slot Machines were
invented in the late 1800's by Charles Fey,
around the same time as the technological advances
that brought us the phonograph, the telephone,
and the automobile. Their ease of use, quick
results, and bigger payouts for smaller bets,
makes them the most popular and most played
game in the Dunhill Casino.
Object
of the Game
The object of the game is to receive a winning
combination of symbols along the pay line to
win a corresponding jackpot.
How
to Play
The slot machine has 3 digital displays:
- Coins Played - The number
of coins to be bet on the next pull.
- Credits - The total number
of coins remaining in your balance. This value
will adjust according to the coin denomination
setting of the slot machine.
- Winner Paid - The number
of coins won from the last pull.
The slot machine also has 4 buttons:
- Cash Out : Resets the number
of coins being bet to 0, returning them to
your balance.
- Spin : When at least one
coin has been bet, the spin button will become
enabled. Clicking the spin button will cause
the reels to begin spinning. Alternately,
the player may also click on the slot machine
arm to pull it down and start the reels spinning.
Note that cashing out or inserting more coins
is not permitted once the reels have begun
spinning.
- Bet Max : Allows the player
to quickly bet the maximum number of coins
permitted by the machine and immediately spins
the reels.
- Bet One : Bets one coin
at a time. Once the desired number of coins
is bet, the player must spin the reels manually
by clicking on spin or the slot machine arm.
The bets
First, select a denomination for the slot machine.
This will set the value of each coin played.
Next, deposit one to three coins into the machine
-- use the Bet One button
to bet one coin at a time, or use Bet
Max to bet the maximum coins allowed
by the machine (balance permitting). Finally,
click on the slot machine's arm or click the
Spin button to begin the reels
spinning. Note that the Bet Max
button will automatically cause the reels to
beginning spinning immediately.
The Spin
Each reel will begin to spin and one by one
stop on a random symbol. The resulting combination
of symbols determines the payout.
Payouts
|
Slot Machine
payouts vary depending on the number of
coins wagered and the combination of symbols
that appear on the slot machine's reels.
Each slot machine has a payout line
that is usually indicated by an
arrow, and is usually along the center
row of each reel. The symbols that line
up within this row make up the combination
that will determine the payout.
|
 |
As soon as
the reels begin spinning, the number of
coins bet is removed from the player's
balance. At the top of the slot machine
is a chart of symbol combinations displaying
their associated payouts based on the
number of coins bet. Each payout line
indicates the total number of coins that
will be placed into the player's balance
if won. The coins paid are of the same
denomination as the coin(s) bet.

A line on the chart
may look similar to: |
 |
|
The first column shows the combination
of symbols required to receive this payout.
The columns to the right show the various
payouts based on the number of coins wagered.
The first column to the right of the symbols
is the number of coins won if 1 coin was
bet before spinning the reels. The two
columns to the right of that indicate
the number of coins won if 2 or 3 coins
were bet.
In the example above, the slot machine
must display 3 single BAR symbols along
the payout line of each reel to receive
this payout. If the player had bet 1 coin
before spinning the reels, he or she wins
20 in return. If 2 or 3 coins were bet,
the payout would be 40 and 80 coins respectively.

Slot machine bets are determined by
the denomination of the coin being
played. The bottom of the slot machine
has a small digital display that allows
you to select the coin denominations.
As you change the value of the coins
being played, you'll notice that the
number of credits adjusts itself accordingly. |
 |
For example:
$100 will provide the user
with 400 25¢ credits
(100 ÷ 0.25 = 400). If you
increase the coin value to $5, the
number of credits drops to 20 (100
÷ 5 = 20).
All payouts are made using the same
value of coin used when the slot machine's
reels are spun.

The slot machine has 3 digital displays:
- Coins Played - The
number of coins to be bet on the next
pull.
- Credits - The total
number of coins remaining in your balance.
This value will adjust according to the
coin denomination setting of the slot
machine.
- Winner Paid - The
number of coins won from the last pull.
To place your
bet before spinning the reels, click the
Bet One button to bet
one coin at a time. Each time you click
the Bet One button, you
will notice that one coin is removed from
the Credits value, and
the Coins value increases
by one. The slot machine accepts a maximum
of 3 coins (balance permitting). If you
have sufficient credits remaining, you may
click the Bet Max button
to quickly bet the maximum 3 coins and start
the reels spinning.
Click the Cash Out button
if you wish to return any coins you have
bet to your balance. This effectively takes
the number of coins shown in the Coins
display, and returns them to your
total Credits.
Spinning the Reels
If you click
the Bet Max button, the
maximum 3 coins are bet and the reels will
begin spinning automatically. If you choose
to bet one coin at a time using the Bet
One button you must manual spin
the reels by either clicking on the Spin
button, or clicking on the slot
machine arm to pull it. Both methods will
start the reels spinning.
When the reels stop, the final combination
determines the payout. You may then bet
more coins and spin the reels again.
