here’s some info on the game for this tourney. it called the Coral Reef, and it’s a classic slots game. well, for the most part. there are three reels, and for all but the special winning combinations, there is one payline right across the center.

if you happen to land some of the higher paying symbols across the diagonals, they pay as well. although i haven’t hit any of those yet.

there are a handful of symbols on the reels. shells are the sybol you’ll see most often. green shells on the first reel, red shells on the middle reel, and blue shells on the righ-hand reel. and, they’re worth nothing. you can land a screen full of shells, and it’s worthless.

the symbols that bring in the credits are the 7’s (land a 7 on the center payline, and you’re good). landing three 7’s on the center payline is fun, but doesn’t pay anything special. the coral reef symbol is also an automatic winner if it lands on the payline. and, it pays double what a 7 does.

that’s been most of my winners so far, a 7 or a coral reef on the payline.

there are some bars (single bars and double bars) and a squid symbol that you need to land a row of across the center payline to get a winner. hard to land, but they pay really well.

and the jackpot sized winners come when you land either of the “frequent winner” symbols, the 7’s and coral reefs, diagonally. in fact, these are the only diagonal winners, and activating these paylines costs more.

so, i’m playing four coins, and dropped the coins size down to $.25, so if a jackpot comes my way, i’ll have the payline activated and can reap the rewards.
