Three Reel Slot - Pot - O - Gold

Objective

The goal is to achieve a winning combination of objects in the middle row of the game's reels. A slot game with three reels is used. You can also get a bonus round and win extra credits.

How to Play

1. Select your Credit Value - You can increase or decrease the denomination of your credits (coins) by pressing the up and down arrows where it says Credit Value. For example, if you are playing with 1.00 credits and wish to increase this to 2.00, press the ^ arrow once. The Credit Value display will now read 2.00 and your Credits display will change to reflect your balance converted into 2.00 credits.

2. Select how many credits to bet. Click Bet One to bet a single credit, and press it again to bet 2 credits, and again for 3 credits. If you press it again it will go back to 1 credit. The amount you have selected to bet will show in the Total Bet field in the display in the bottom left corner of the screen and the Credits display will be updated.

3. Click Spin, or click Bet Max. Pressing Bet Max will automatically place a 3-credit bet and spin the reels.

Payouts

Different payouts are awarded depending on the number of credits bet and the winning combination. The payouts for betting 2 credits and 3 credits are the same, but you are only eligible for the bonus spin or the progressive jackpot if you bet with 3 credits at a time.

To view the pay table, click on the Paytable button. This table shows all possible winning combinations and their payouts. To return to the game, click on the Return To Game button.

Wild Card Symbols

and

These reel icons are wild, meaning they can substitute for any other symbol except 'ANY ONE' pays, but they also multiply the amount paid by 5. For example, if the reel displayed 1 Leprechaun symbol and 2 Shamrock symbols, you would be paid 5 times what you would have gotten for 3 Shamrock symbols.

Better yet, if you got 2 of the same wild card symbol and 1 Shamrock symbol, you would be paid out 25 times as much as if you had gotten 3 Shamrock symbols! In that situation, the wild card symbols must match, but if you get any two (either 1 of each or 2 the same) plus a blank reel, then you will get paid out whatever it says next to the line in the paytable that looks like this:

Other Symbols

This line on the paytable indicates how much you can win if you get 3 of any combination of the Bar reel icons together.

This line on the paytable indicates how much you can win if you get 3 of any combination of the Shamrock reel icons together.

Bonus Spin Symbol

If this symbol appears on the end reel (the reel on the right hand side) and you have wagered 3 credits, you get a bonus round. It doesn't matter what the other reel icons are. If you get a Bonus icon and a wild card icon together on the same reel, you will still just get one bonus spin.

The game display will change to a field of pots of gold and three clouds floating in the sky. Click on one of the clouds. A rainbow will come out and touch all the pots of gold. You win the amount the rainbow is on when it stops moving. For example, if the rainbow stopped on 100, you would win 100 credits. The actual amount that would be worth would depend on the amount you selected each credit to be worth.

After you have received your bonus amount, the game will automatically return to the original screen.
