The
Rules of Slot Machine
|
Slot
Machines were invented
around the late 1800's
by Charles Fey and became
extremely popular when
they were first installed
in Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo
Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The Slot Machine
requires no gaming skills
and is by far the easiest
game to play - simply
pull a handle or push
a button and that's it.
Our casino uses $0.25,
$1 and $5 slots, up to
three-coin bets each.
Choose your denomination,
either as Player or as
Dealer, and start playing.
Playing Slots
In order to play
you must first insert
credits into the Slot
Machine. You do this by
clicking on the $5, $25
or $100 buttons on the
lower right side of the
screen. You can also click
on the Coin Slot to the
right of the 'Spin' button
to insert one coin at
a time. Choose the amount
you wish to bet by pressing
the 'Bet One' or 'Bet
Max' buttons. Pressing
the 'Bet Max' button places
3 credits in the "Bet"
text box and automatically
spins the three reels.
Pressing the 'Bet One'
button places one credit
in the "Bet" text box
up to a maximum of 3 credits.
Once there are credits
in the "Bet" text box
the 'Spin' button and
the Handle to the right
of the Slot Machine light
up and can be pressed,
or pulled, to start the
three reels spinning.
Winnings are determined
according to the winning
combinations that are
illustrated in the Payout
Table at the upper right
part of the screen. If
you have a winning combination
the corresponding row
will light up on the Payout
Table. If there are any
credits in the machine
you can cash them all
out by pressing the 'Cash
Out' button. This will
remove the bets and credits
from the "Bet" and "Credit"
text boxes and return
them to your Balance.

Pressing 'Bet One' adds

the Handle spins the three
reels.
Disconnections
Communication
problems over the Internet
may cause sudden disconnections.
We have designed our software
to cope with such incidents
in a manner that our clients
will be protected from
unjustifiable loss, while
eliminating the possibility
of intentional disconnections
and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection
occur after the player
placed credits in the
"Credit" or "Bet" text
boxes and the player has
not yet pressed the 'Spin'
button, or pulled the
Handle, then the credits
are returned to the player's
Balance.
Should a disconnection
occur after the player
pressed the 'Spin' button,
or pulled the Handle,
the round will continue.
If the player had a winning
combination, the player's
Balance is credited accordingly.
After connection is re-established
the Player can enter the
"History" page and see
the results of the last
round ("History" is available
for Money mode only).

Playing
as Dealer
|
BeTheDealer
Casino offers you the
unique option of playing
the role of the Dealer.
This option increases
your chances of winning,
since you gain some of
the favorable odds reserved
for the casino. At the
end of every round the
casino takes a commission
of 1.5% of the total bets
bet against the Dealer.
Example
A Dealer chooses to play
in Slot Machine I. This
means that the Dealer
meets the minimum requirements
for playing in this Slot
Machine type: a minimum
of 1 Credit Point and
a minimum balance of $76.
The system then matches
a Player to the Dealer
and after the Dealer 'Approves'
the next round, the Player
places his/her bets on
the table.
Let's say the Player plays
with a Bet of 3 credits.
This means the player
has inserted 3 credits
into the machine as his
bet (for a total bet of
3*0.25 = $0.75) and spun
the reels. The reels spin
and stop on "Blank", "Bar"
and "Two Bars" and the
Player loses his bet of
$0.75. Since the bet against
the Dealer was $0.75,
the casino takes a commission
of 1.5%*0.75 = $0.02,
which means the Dealer
wins 0.75-0.02 = $0.73
on this round. The casino's
edge over the player in
the Slot Machine is approximately
2-4% (bear in mind that
the average edge is about
3%, which is how the casino
makes a profit on the
Slot Machine) so as the
Dealer you actually gain
an edge of about 1.5%.
Minimum Credit
Points and Balance
You can play as Dealer
once you have accumulated
enough Credit Points and
in addition you need to
have enough money in your
Balance, according to
the game's limits described
in the Game Options page.
The Minimum Balance required
is a bit higher than the
total winnings of the
Player in a given round,
which are: 3(Maximum number
of credits in the machine)
* (Slot Machine denomination:
$0.25, $1 or $5) * 99(Maximum
number of credits that
can be won) + 1.5%(Casino
commission) * ( 3(Maximum
number of credits in the
machine) * (Machine Denomination:
$0.25, $1 or $5) )
Game Options
"Approve" Button
/ 'Auto-Approve' Feature
When playing
as Dealer, before each
round commences you must
'Approve' the next round.
After you approve the
round, the Player can
place his/her bets and
play the round. The 'Auto-Approve'
feature lets you automatically
approve the next rounds,
without having to approve
every round individually.
Disconnections
Communication problems
over the Internet may
cause sudden disconnections.
We have designed our software
to cope with such incidents
in a manner that our clients
will be protected from
unjustifiable loss, while
eliminating the possibility
of intentional disconnections
and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection
occur after the Dealer
pressed the 'Approve'
button, play will continue
until the Player has finished
his turn. This has no
effect on the Dealer,
since the Dealer is played
automatically according
to the rules of the game.
After connection is re-established
the Dealer can enter the
"History" page and see
the results of the last
round ("History" is available
for Money mode only).
