5-Reel Multiline Slots
The object of Silver Bullet 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 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 hit amount for every symbol. For example, if you have four symbols in a row starting on the leftmost or rightmost reel (that is four hits), read the number on the line "XXXX" and in the column under that symbol. 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. The symbols have to lie consecutively, starting from the leftmost or rightmost reel, to qualify as hits. In case one payline contains two winning combinations (for example: two barrels counted from the left and three bottles counted from the right), you are paid for both combinations. If you have five symbols in a row, you are only paid once.
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.
The sheriff badge symbol is a wild symbol - meaning it stands for any other symbol, like a joker in card games. Also, the wild symbol doubles any win in the combination it is in, but not cumulatively (that is, two wild symbols still multiply the win by 2 and not by 4).
Scatter symbol:
The Colt revolver symbol is a scatter symbol - when you get 2 to 5 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, not just the line bet). The symbols have to lie consecutively, starting from the leftmost or rightmost reel. They don't have to follow any payline. Scatter wins are added to payline wins (if you don't have any payline wins, you are only paid the scatter win).
Dollar Ball
This is a lotto-type progressive sidegame where you pick 5 numbers out of 49. Then once you start the main game, five numbers will be drawn randomly. The more numbers match your selection, the more you win. If all five numbers match, you win the Jackpot.
Dollar Ball resides in the top right part of the screen. Click Enable to play it. You will see a set of numbers, from 1 to 49. Click on any five of them to select manually (click again to deselect), or click on Random pick to have it done for you automatically. If you want to change the selected numbers, click on any number to start again. Click Activate to hide the numbers and confirm your selection. If you want to cancel the Dollar Ball game, click Disable.
Your numbers will be shown in a row of squares at the top of the screen. Once you start a round of the main game, the drawn numbers will appear just below them in the circles. If any of the numbers match your selection, the squares will change color and your win amount will appear below. It will be added to your balance along with any winnings from the main game round. You don't have to win the main game round to win the sidegame.
Dollar Ball will be played along with every main game round, with the same numbers, until you either change the numbers or disable the sidegame.
The paytable for Dollar Ball can be found in the main game paytable.
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): |
10 000 x bet size. |
|
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot): |
10% |
|
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot): |
Catch 5 balls. |

Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot): |

The Autoplay feature offers you two modes of autoplay - simple and advanced. In simple mode you can set the number of rounds to play. In advanced mode you can set stop conditions such as overall win or loss in addition to the number of rounds to play. Autoplay is available on games which do not require the player to make decisions, such as various slots.
How to use Autoplay
Select the desired coin size, the number of coins to play and activate the paylines. When you do not select those, then Autoplay will automatically use the maximum number of coins and activate all paylines.
To start playing, click on Menu and select Autoplay. The Autoplay option bar appears on the bottom of the window.
In the simple mode you can set the number of spins only.
Click on the double left arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar to enter advanced mode. Autoplay side-bar appears with additional options for Autoplay.
To revert back to simple mode, click on the double right arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar.
After you've entered the number of spins and set the stop conditions (when in advanced mode), click Play to start Autoplay. The Play button changes into the Pause button for the duration of play. Note that It is not possible to change the number of spins or stop conditions while Autoplay is playing. In order to make those changes, the Autoplay has to be paused. Click the Pause button to do so.
Please note that if Autoplay interrupted for any reason, the Number of spins field will show the leftover spins from last time; you will have to click Play to resume Autoplay.
For example, let's say you set Autoplay to 100 spins and an overall win of $25. It takes 17 spins, but finally the winnings reach that amount. Autoplay stops. Now, the Number of spins field will show 83. Of course, you can change the number of spins again.
To close Autoplay and continue playing manually, click the Stop button on the main Autoplay option bar.
Player input
Autoplay allows you to minimize the window and play other casino games or work on your computer while it's running. However, you do need to pay attention to the game from time to time. Slot games have bonus rounds, and if such a round comes up, Autoplay will pause and wait for you to make a decision.
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.
