Paylines
The paylines are numbered starting from 1. Some slot machines activate all paylines by default, and others allow player to select the number of active paylines. The amount of active paylines are displayed on the interface of the game and also the controls used for increasing/decreasing the active paylines, if applicable.
Bet Settings
Games allow player to choose the amount of coins, credits or money to wager. The player can modify the bet using the controls in the bet section (BET/LINE BET/TOTAL BET). In any case, the total wagered per spin is obtained by multiplying the number of coins selected (1 by default) by the coin value or line bet by the number of paylines selected. The bet level also defines the payouts level, according to the paytable.
Playing the game
After the paylines and the bet amount have been set, the player has to put the reels in motion clicking or tapping the SPIN/START button, usually located at the center or right side of the screen. Clicking or tapping this button will start the reel spinning animation, and generate a debit in the player's balance. Once the reels stop, the prizes - if any - will be added to the balance.
All wins are displayed on screen through the WIN/TOTAL WIN label.
Autoplay
The player can use the AUTOPLAY controls, to set a number of spins. This function will start each spin automatically until either something that requires the player's intervention occurs or the number of set spins expires.
