Classic Slot games with multiple paylines can – depending on how many coins you bet on each spin – pay out for winning combinations that appear on up to 5 different lines, as shown in the picture below. It usually costs 1 coin to bet on each payline.
In the game shown here, betting 1 coin would only allow you to win on payline 1 (yellow), which goes across the middle of the reels. Betting 2 would also allow you to win on payline 2 (blue) across the top. Each coin adds one more payline, up to 5 coins, which allows payouts on all three horizontal lines, as well as the diagonal lines running corner to corner in both directions. In this example, there are winning combinations in both lines 4 and 5.
Note that the more paylines you bet on, the higher the potential Jackpot becomes, with the top payout for payline 1 being 100, whereas the same result on payline 5 will win 2400.
Note: You can only bet on paylines in ascending order. If you only want to bet on one payline, it will always be payline 1; you could not choose to bet only on payline 5.
You can select the number of paylines to bet on by clicking on either the line number or the Jackpot value of the line you want in the payline grid. For example: in the game pictured above, if you want to bet on 3 paylines, click on the green number 3 on the left, or the green 600 on the right.
You can also click on the Bet One button to increase the number of paylines you are betting on by 1. Clicking Bet One again after you get to the maximum number of paylines will take you back to 1.
Clicking on the Max Bet button will select the maximum number of paylines, and then automatically spin the reels.
Tip: Some games have a minimum coin value. Make sure you know how much you are betting by checking the Bet display as well as the Coin display!
