Skazka

5-reel 20-line slots

The object of Skazka is to obtain winning symbol combinations by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

• A wagering denomination can be chosen by clicking the Click to Change denomination button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
• Line bets are chosen by clicking Bet per Line. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. When the maximum amount is reached, clicking the button again resets the line bet to one coin.
• Paylines are chosen by clicking Lines to add a payline, or by using the numbered buttons on either side of the reels. Selecting a high payline includes all the lower ones too. For example, selecting payline 6 also activates paylines 1 through 5. Clicking Bet Max activates all paylines with the maximum bet per line and spins the reels.
• Total bet per game round = line bet X active paylines.
• Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets.
• Reels can also be spun using the Auto Start function. Clicking + or - above Auto Start selects the successive number of spins to be enabled. Clicking Auto Start spins the reels. The Auto Start button changes into Stop during the Auto Start mode of reelspin. The Auto Start mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when the player clicks Stop.
• Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
• On a given payline, only the highest win combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are added up together.
• In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The win ticker can be stopped by clicking on the Win field.
• A win activates the Gamble button. Winnings can be doubled by guessing whether the next card will be red or black. With every win, you can bet again. There is an upper limit on the maximum amount that you can bet (double up limit). Click Collect to add all the current winnings to your balance and return to the reels.
• Gamble is disabled during the Auto Start function and the free spins.

Paylines:

Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Progressively clicking Lines activates the paylines and displays their shape.

Please note: Only active paylines can register wins. The Scatter and Free games symbols are an exception to this rule. More information about these symbols can be found below.

Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet includes all the round line bets. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet. An exception to this is the Scatter symbol, for which the payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the total bet. If winning combinations occur on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.

About payouts:

Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout.

If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up.

Winning combinations must start from the left most reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive. The Scatter symbol is an exception to this rule. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter and Free games, to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for several Wild symbols on an active payline.

Scatter symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline - if there are two or more Scatter symbols in the results, an additional win is earned. The payout for Scatter symbols is multiplied by the total bet.

Wild symbol

The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter and Free games, to make the best possible winning combination. There is also an additional win for two or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the Paytable.

Free games symbol

If the Free games symbol appears both on reels 1 and 5, 20 free games are won. All wins during free games are multiplied by 2.

To start the free games, click on Click to Start. During the free games, the line bet, coin size and number of lines are those last played. If the Free games symbol appears both on reels 1 and 5 during a free game, 20 additional free games are added to the existing ones. At the end of the free games, click Continue to go back to the reels.

Please note: During the free games, the Gamble option is disabled.

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.
