Game Ball

The object of Game Ball is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

• Choose the value of the coins you wish to bet by clicking on the + and – buttons on the right of the screen.
• Select the paylines you want to bet on by clicking the line number on the upper and left edge of the reels. Then click on the Bet One button to bet a coin on each of the paylines – click again to add another coin. Click Bet Max to bet the maximum of three coins on each line. Remember that your total bet (the amount you spend on the game round) is the line bet multiplied by the number of lines selected. Clicking Bet Max also spins the reels automatically.
• Click Spin (if you did not use Bet Max) to spin the reels.
• If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along a payline you bet on), you win according to the winning table. Click the Paytable button to see the paytable, if you wish. Close the paytable by clicking the Paytable button again. If you win on multiple paylines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.

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 scatter symbol is an exception to that rule. Read more about the Scatter symbol below.

About the winning tables:

The tables show a certain number for every symbol combination that pays. Multiply your coin size by that number and you get the winning amount. The more coins you bet per line, the bigger the win multiplier. If you have winning combinations on multiple lines, add them all up to get the winning amount. Please note, that the one-symbol and two-symbol combinations 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 coin size, not the line bet. If you get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.

Scatter symbol:

The basketball is a scatter symbol – when you get 4 to 9 of these symbols on the screen, you are paid according to the table shown on the winnings table. The 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).
