  • Max Bet: To play with Max bet , click on 'MAX BET'. If your game balance is not sufficient, this option is disabled.

  • 'PAYTABLE': The 'PAYTABLE' screen can be viewed by clicking on the 'PAYTABLE' button above “RULES” button.
  • WIN AMOUNT CALCULATION: Winning symbol combinations may occur from left to right in All possible Ways on consecutive reels except Joystick Scatter symbol. Only the highest paying combination on each Way is paid which appears left to right on consecutive reels including reel 1 as per the game.
    E.g. if symbol Ace appears on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (positioned at 0,1,2,3 and 4) respectively then the payout will happen for 5 Ace symbols only.

    The reel structure numbering for winning combinations in main game and free spin game is as below:

10 11 12 13 14

  • If two of the same symbols appear in reel 1, 2 and 3 of that symbol appears on reel 3 then way win does not pay for 5 of those symbol combinations together. But it will pay for 3 separate Way wins using those 3 of the same symbols appearing on reel 3.
    E.g. If one symbol Ten lands on reel 1 and 2 and three symbols of Ten land on reel 3, then there will be three different Way wins for symbol Ten. Each way would be a win with three consecutive occurrences of symbol Ten.
