Slots Adventures

well, i did it. i was sitting at the machine, making the rookie mistake of rookie mistakes. this video slot overwhelmed me at first. there are twenty paylines on the thing!

i was taking spins, playing one payline at a time. wondering why i always hit winners on the first payline! eeek.

the tournament on this machine is wrapping up soon. it’s on the last day, and there’s close to $1,000 in real money prizes to be had. so, i’ll be going for the gusto. go big or go home on this one!

there are a LOT of things to keep track of on this machine. well, that’s if you want to. truth be told, it’s a slot machine, and they rack up the winners whether you notice them or not.

the things i have figured out are the WILD symbol is a Doubling WILD, so that helps a lot. it’s the Cleopatra symbol. and the scatter symbols are the Scarabs. I haven’t hit on them yet, but they’re there. i see them whizzing by on the reels. if they ever land, there’s some free spins in it for me.

and the last thing i can manage to keep track of are the egyptian moonlight symbols. those are confined to reels 2 and 4, so they’re easy to spot. they unlock a bonus feature. haven’t hit them either.

there are a couple of neat things about the slot. it does have an autoplay function, so you can set it and let it go for a while. after not having the autospin on a couple of machines, having it back again is kind of nice. i’m finding i do get a lot more spins in much more quickly this way.

also, there’s a “Stop Reels” button on the machine. if waiting for five different reels to finally come to a stop requires more patience than you want to spend, hit the Stop Reels button. bang, the whizzing halts.

i’m up to $1,100 in credits right now, which puts me in 10th place. that’s worth $10 in bonus money. i don’t know, first place looks out of reach, but third isn’t that far off. one more good hit playing $5 coins and i could be in the cash prizes.

well, i’m going for it. if i fade out to zero, then so be it. even the lowest cash prize is $100. in the meantime, here’s a copy of the payout chart.

hehe, that ended fast. ran cold right after the coin size move. oh well. had to take a shot. i guess i’ve been a well entertained loser tonight.
