HOW TO PLAY

Press Spin to begin or if you’d prefer to lean back and relax, enable Autoplay where up to 100 automatic rounds are at your disposal.
The reels are occupied with symbols characteristic of land-based machines. Bells and Red Sevens take up the upper part of the paytable awarding payouts of 7x and 8x the bet respectively for 5 of a kind. Other high-value symbols include Bar, Cloves and Horseshoes that grant 4x, 5x and 6x your stake correspondingly when 5 of a kind appear. Low-paying symbols are represented with a Star, Spades, Diamonds, Hearts and Clubs, each delivering 2x the wager if 5 of a kind are on a winline.
