8-Line Slots with a Progressive Jackpot
The object of Gold Rally is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.
To play the game:
Paylines:
Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. You can activate paylines and see their shape by progressively clicking the Bet One button.
Please note: You only win if a combination occurs on an active payline.
The Bonus round symbol and the Scatter symbol are exceptions to that rule. Read more about the Scatter symbol and Bonus round symbol below.
About the winning tables:
The tables show a certain number for every symbol combination that pays. Multiply your line bet by that number and you get the winning amount. If you have winning combinations on multiple lines, add them all up to get the winning amount. Please note, that the one Horseshoe symbol combination and two Horseshoes symbol combination have to start on the leftmost or upmost reel (depending on the payline) to win.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet, not by the total bet. If youget winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
Bonus round:
When you enter a bonus round, follow the instructions on the screen. You will be paid a prize according to the choice(s) you make. The "You win" sign shows your total win - if you play several rounds, wins from all rounds of the current bonus game are added up. After the bonus round, you can check the Game History, where each round's winning is shown on a separate line.
Scatter symbol:
The scales symbol is a scatter symbol - when you get 5 to 9 of these symbols on the screen, you are paid according to the table shown on the winnings table. Scatter win is calculated by multiplying the number on the respective row of the scatter paytable with your total bet. The symbols don't have to follow any payline. Scatter wins are added to payline wins (if you have any).
Progressive Jackpot:
Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.
Please note:
The Jackpot for this game works like this:
|
Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with): |
37 500 x coin size |
|
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot): |
2% |
|

Slot Machine Variants
Below is a brief explanation on every type of slot machine:
3-Reel Standard Slots - these are the most usual slot machines. You bet a certain amount, then spin the three reels and depending on the outcome of the spin, you either win or lose.
3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots - these machines allow you to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard Slots.
Progressive Jackpot - a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol combination, usually only when playing for maximum bet.
Bonus Game - machines that have a Bonus Game require you to obtain a special symbol combination, or collect certain symbols. When you do, you will enter a bonus round, with special prizes waiting for you. Please note that in some games you have to play for maximum bet to qualify for a bonus round.
3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines - here you specify your bet per payline, and the paylines on which you bet. A payline is the line along which Your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line Slots have 3 lines for you to choose between, and 5-Line slots have 5.
Multiline Slots - same as above, only these machines have more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9.
3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots - this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin you choose which reels you want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have multiple hands.
