| Slot Machines were invented around the late 1800's
by Charles Fey and became extremely popular when they were first
installed in Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The Slot Machine requires no gaming skills and is by
far the easiest game to play - simply pull a handle or push
a button and that's it. Our casino uses $0.25, $1 and $5 slots,
up to three-coin bets each. Choose your denomination, either
as Player or as Dealer, and start playing.
Playing Slots
In order to play you must first insert credits into the Slot
Machine. You do this by clicking on the $5, $25 or $100 buttons
on the lower right side of the screen. You can also click
on the Coin Slot to the right of the 'Spin' button to insert
one coin at a time. Choose the amount you wish to bet by pressing
the 'Bet One' or 'Bet Max' buttons. Pressing the 'Bet Max'
button places 3 credits in the "Bet" text box and
automatically spins the three reels. Pressing the 'Bet One'
button places one credit in the "Bet" text box up
to a maximum of 3 credits. Once there are credits in the "Bet"
text box the 'Spin' button and the Handle to the right of
the Slot Machine light up and can be pressed, or pulled, to
start the three reels spinning. Winnings are determined according
to the winning combinations that are illustrated in the Payout
Table at the upper right part of the screen. If you have a
winning combination the corresponding row will light up on
the Payout Table. If there are any credits in the machine
you can cash them all out by pressing the 'Cash Out' button.
This will remove the bets and credits from the "Bet"
and "Credit" text boxes and return them to your
Balance.

such incidents in a manner that our clients will be protected

of intentional disconnections and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection occur after the player placed credits
in the "Credit" or "Bet" text boxes and
the player has not yet pressed the 'Spin' button, or pulled
the Handle, then the credits are returned to the player's
Balance.
Should a disconnection occur after the player pressed the

Playing as Dealer
Online Casino Dealer Casino offers you the unique option of
playing the role of the Dealer. This option increases your
chances of winning, since you gain some of the favorable odds
reserved for the casino. At the end of every round the casino
takes a commission of 2% (1.5% + 0.5% because of the Progressive
Jackpot) of the total bets bet against the Dealer. In addition,
casino pays all winnings in case the Player hits "Gold
Bar X 3".
Example
A Dealer chooses to play in Slot Machine I. This means that
the Dealer meets the minimum requirements for playing in this
Slot Machine type: a minimum of 1 Credit Point and a minimum
balance of $65. The system then matches a Player to the Dealer
and after the Dealer 'Approves' the next round, the Player
places his/her bets on the table.
Let's say the Player plays with a Bet of 3 credits. This means
the player has inserted 3 credits into the machine as his
bet (for a total bet of 3*0.25 = $0.75) and spun the reels.
The reels spin and stop on "Blank", "Bar"
and "Two Bars" and the Player loses his bet of $0.75.
Since the bet against the Dealer was $0.75, the casino takes
a commission of 2%*0.75 = $0.02, which means the Dealer wins
0.75-0.02 = $0.73 on this round. The casino's edge over the
player in the Slot Machine is approximately 2-4% (bear in
mind that the average edge is about 3%, which is how the casino
makes a profit on the Slot Machine) so as the Dealer you actually
gain an edge of about 1%.
Minimum Credit Points and Balance
You can play as Dealer once you have accumulated enough Credit
Points and in addition you need to have enough money in your
Balance, according to the game's limits described in the Game
Options page.
The Minimum Balance required is a bit higher than the total
winnings of the Player in a given round, which are: 3(Maximum
number of credits in the machine) * (Slot Machine denomination:
$0.25, $1 or $5) * 49(Maximum number of credits that can be
won) + 2%(Casino commission) * ( 3(Maximum number of credits
in the machine) * (Machine Denomination: $0.25, $1 or $5)
)
Game Options
" Approve" Button / 'Auto-Approve' Feature
When playing as Dealer, before each round commences you must
'Approve' the next round. After you approve the round, the
Player can place his/her bets and play the round. The 'Auto-Approve'
feature lets you automatically approve the next rounds, without
having to approve every round individually.
Disconnections
Communication problems over the Internet may cause sudden
disconnections. We have designed our software to cope with
such incidents in a manner that our clients will be protected
from unjustifiable loss, while eliminating the possibility
of intentional disconnections and/or system abuse.
Should a disconnection occur after the Dealer pressed the
'Approve' button, play will continue until the Player has
finished his turn. This has no effect on the Dealer, since
the Dealer is played automatically according to the rules
of the game.
After connection is re-established the Dealer can enter the
"History" page and see the results of the last round
("History" is available for Money mode only).
