How to win
Bet on the outcome of five spinning reels. Match 3 or more icons on a win line to win a payout. Payouts increase depending on the number of matching symbols you have. Winnings are credited to your account immediately. If you lose, by having insufficient matching icons on a win line, you will lose your stake amount.
How to play
1. The stake is fixed for this game, but you can select how many win-lines to play with by either pressing the Lines button or the line indicator buttons (colour coded 1-20, situated on each side of the reels). You have the opportunity of choosing up to 20 win lines per game. Win lines will always pay from left to right only. The icon on the far left of the win line will act as a point of reference for finding at least two further matching icons as you move along the line towards the right. Each Win line has one unit of the stake associated with it, each line can win separately in any single game. If you ignore selecting either the Lines button or the line indicator buttons, 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.

There is a special “no lose” feature game which, when activated, allows you a chance to win between 2X – 10 000X the stake value of the line that triggered the feature. All you have to do is play a mini–game by making simple selections.
To activate the special features
