Coin Size
First, you select the coin size; this will control the amount you wager on each line.
You can bet 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, or 20p per line. And because payouts are based on multiples of our stake, this also controls your potential win.
Simply click on the + or - buttons beside the coin size display to toggle through the different coin sizes.
Win Lines
You can now select the number of lines you want to bet on. Lines are coloured and appear across the reels. There are three ways to pick them.
- Click BET ONE to add another line, up to the maximum of 15. If you click past 15 it will return to the minimum single line.
- Click on the coloured numbers at the side of the reels to choose how many lines you want to play.
- Click BET MAX to select all 15 lines and automatically start the reels spinning.
Betting on a lot of lines increases your chance of winning though it won't affect the payout, as that is determined when you select you initial stake.
Auto Spin
Auto Spin allows you to select the number of spins you want the slot to make, while you relax and let the game do the work for you.
It automatically stops for Bonus Games, or you can use the Stop Button anytime, so you're always in control.
To activate Auto Spin, simply spin the reels with your desired number of lines – so if you want to Bet Max make sure you Bet Max in the spin before you activate Auto Spin. Then, select Auto from the game controls and choose the number of spins you desire.
You can customize Auto Spin further by clicking on the Advanced Options tab:
- 'If single win exceeds' will stop Auto Spin if you win above a certain amount on one spin.
- 'If balance goes above' will stop Auto Spin if your total account balance goes above a set amount.
- 'If balance goes under' will stop Auto Spin if your total account balance goes below a set amount.
- 'On any win' will stop Auto Spin every time you win.
