How to Play
1. Set the stake To set the stake, click the Stake button. This transfers funds from your account into the stake. The default stake is set to the value defined by the operator, which is increased with each click. If you go over your intended stake, continuing to click the Stake button will eventually return the stake amount to the minimum again.
IMPORTANT: See also the "About the Bet Max button" section.
2. Select the number of Win-lines to play Traditionally, the win line is the centre line running across the reels. Symbols must appear on the win line as indicated on the paytable in order to win. This game allows the possibility of choosing up to 20 win lines per game. You select how many win-lines to play with the Lines button. Each line you choose will have one unit of the stake you have selected (in step 1) attached to it, as each line can win separately in any single game. If you ignore the Lines button, then the default setting for the game will be used, which is all 20 lines. Each click of the Lines button moves the line selection from 1 through to 20 respectively. Each click of the lines button adds one line to the selection. If you continue to click the lines button after 20, the cycle starts again at 1 line. The win line(s) and reel positions illuminate with each press of the button. Animations highlight each reel position and a "pathway" is shown making line selection clear and easy. To make things even clearer each line its own progressively colour coded button/indicator; starting with 1 (red) through to 20 (violet/purple).
Customising the Lines Selection
It is possible to add or remove specific lines from those selected with the lines button. The line indicators (labelled 1-20 and colour coded) serve as buttons which can be used to add or remove win-lines from the selection. The individual line buttons are click on (illuminated), click off (not illuminated): To remove a selected line, click on the respective line number To add a line, click on the respective line number NOTE: If you have customised the win lines selected (by individually adding/removing win lines), and then click the lines button; all lines of a lesser number than the highest line number selected will be switched on plus the next win line up in sequence (as detailed in the beginning of step 2). For example, if all win lines up to 10 were switched on, and then 4, 5 and 6 were turned off, and then the 'lines' button was pressed, lines 1 - 11 would ALL be turned on. The following is a chart of the 20 win-line paths available for selection. When a win line is selected it is accompanied by an animation which clarifies its position, as described previously.
NOTE: Win lines pay left to right ONLY (except Scatter Icon).

Scatters to Free Play
If 3 or more scatter icons (Parrot Icon) appear ANYWHERE in the result of a game, the free play feature is triggered. The number of lines selected for play does not affect the way the scatters are triggered; the scatter icons can appear in any of the 15 visible reel positions The Wild Icon does not count as a Scatter Icon You need at least 3 scatters in a single result to trigger the Free Play feature. How many free plays you get depends on how many scatter icons trigger the feature: 3 scatters = 15 free plays - plus x2 the total stake that triggered the free plays* 4 scatters = 20 free plays - plus x3 the total stake that triggered the free plays* 5 scatters = 25 free plays - plus x10 the total stake that triggered the free plays* * Examples: Player A: gets 4 scatter icons in a result while playing 20 lines at 50p per-line. 20 (lines) X 50p (per line) X 3 (bonus for 4 scatters) = £30 bonus plus 20 free plays Player B: gets 3 scatter icons in a result while playing 1 line at £1 per-line. 1 (line) X £1 (per line) X 2 (bonus for 3 scatters) = £2 bonus plus 15 free plays NOTE: The bonus payment is paid before the free spins commence.
What happens if I get 3 or more Scatter Icons in a single game?
If you get 3, 4 or 5 scatters in the result of a single game, any other wins will be credited to your account, then the scatter icons will illuminate with a small animation. The talkback pane will inform you that you have won X (number depends on how many scatters in the result) free plays, then the free plays will begin automatically... you do not have to do anything.
The Wild Icon X2 Bonus
The wild icon will substitute for any icon (except the scatter icon) to make the best win possible. In addition, the wild Icon doubles (X2) the paytable value of any win it is apart of. Including any Normal paytable win and any Free spin win. Note: 2 or more wild card icons being part of a win do not increase the bonus payout. Example: Any 2 win Icons and 2 wild icons consecutive (left to right) on a win line would create a payout for 4 of the "non wild" icons that created the win, plus a x2 wild bonus.
