Game Rules

Everything the game does, on one page. All figures are points, and points are not money.

The five symbols

Figures shown are for a 10 point stake and scale in proportion with the class you choose.

How a spin is resolved

The grid is five reels wide and three rows deep. Every spin draws fifteen symbols independently, with the cheaper symbols weighted to appear more often than the chequered flag. Each of the five paylines is then read from the leftmost reel inwards. Three, four or five matching symbols in an unbroken run pay; anything shorter pays nothing. Only the longest run on a line counts, and each line is settled separately, so a single screen can pay more than once.

The five paylines

Line 1 Top row, straight across all five reels.

Line 2 Middle row, straight across.

Line 3 Bottom row, straight across.

Line 4 Top, middle, bottom, middle, top.

Line 5 Bottom, middle, top, middle, bottom.

Stake classes

Four classes are available: Rookie at 10 points a spin, Club at 25, Pro at 50 and Legend at 100. The paytable above is written for the Rookie stake and scales directly, so five chequered flags return 1,200 points in Rookie and 12,000 in Legend. The stake leaves the balance when the reels start and any win is credited when they stop.

Your balance

Every player begins with 5,000 points. The balance and the last stake used are held in the browser rather than on a server, so they belong to the device instead of to a person. When the balance is exhausted the reset control returns it to 5,000 immediately and free of charge.

Randomness

Symbols are drawn independently on each spin using the browser's random number generator. There is no memory between spins, no streak logic, no adjustment for a long run without a win and nothing that responds to how long a session has lasted. Across a very large number of spins the game returns roughly 92 points for every 100 staked; across one evening it will do whatever it likes.

In plain terms

Points are virtual. They cannot be bought, cashed out, transferred or exchanged for prizes. The game is free, it is intended for players aged 18 and over, and it exists to pass an hour.
