Game Rules for The Punisher (Marvel 9-line slot)

Premise:

The video slot machines have a number of spinning reels marked with symbols. Each time a spin is made, each reel comes to rest randomly with a selection of symbols per reel showing in the game window. The type of wager placed and the combination of symbols that appear determine the payoff.

InterCasino Multi-Line Slot machines operate like video slot machines found in casinos throughout the world. The only difference, which is greatly favorable for the player, is that you can switch your coin value up to £5 without changing to another machine!

How to Play:

3-Line Slots

To begin playing 3-Line Slots, simply select the number of lines that you would like to play. To play one line, click on the "BET ONE" button once, to play two lines click on the "BET ONE" button again. To bet three lines, click on the "BET ONE" button a third time. Alternatively, to play three lines, click on the "BET MAX" button. After selecting the number of lines that you wish to play, click on the "SPIN REELS" button. If you select "BET MAX" the reels will begin spinning automatically. When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown by clicking on the "PAYOUT TABLE" button. Any credits you win will be displayed in the Paid field. Upon placing your next bet the credits in the Paid field will be added to your Credits (minus the amount of the bet which will be displayed in the Bet field).

9 (and greater) Line Slots

Select the coin denomination you wish to play. To increase or decrease denominations, please click on the "up arrow" or "down arrow" buttons, respectively, at the bottom left-hand side of the video slot machine. This set of coins is available for 9-Line Slots games only. This includes: Jungle King, Fat Cat, The Hamsteads, Lucky Lady, La Fiesta! and Hot Dog.

You now have two options to select in order to determine the type and amount of your wager. The first will be by selecting how many lines you wish to wager on. You can wager anywhere from 1 to 9 lines by clicking on Lines arrow until the appropriate number of lines is selected. Once the number of paylines is selected, you can now determine how many coins you want to wager. The number of coins per line multiplied by the number of paylines being bet on will be shown in the TOTAL BET display area. After your selections, you may then press SPIN to spin the reels. Alternatively you may select the BET MAX button if you have enough coins to bet on all 9 lines with £5 per line. This will automatically spin the reels.

When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown on the PAYTABLE of each machine. You may view this by clicking on the button located at the bottom of the screen. Any credits you win will be displayed in the Paid field. Upon placing your next bet the credits in the Paid field will be added to your credits (minus the amount of the bet which will be displayed in the Bet field).
