3) Playing the Game

Use keybord to enter your name at the start of each game, and press Enter key to begin game.

Players begin with 100 Turns, and risk turns each time they spin the reels. If they win nothing, they lose the number of turns they risked. If they do win, their win is multiplied by the amount risked.

For all games: Up/down arrow keys modify Risk (“Risk” appears in most games, but not in World Travel and Casino Fortune: in these games, your risk only shows numerically when you use the up/down arrow keys to modify the Risk on each payline.) Press space key to spin the reels. 

Sometimes you will have the option to Hold one or more reels for your next turn – a green triangle will appear above the reels to indicate this. Use the left/right arrow keys to place the triangle above the reel(s) you want to hold, and use the Ctrl key to Hold the reel. Press space key to spin the reels again.


4) Example Bonus Games

Card Master: Whenever you win, you get a bonus game. Choose red (right arrow key), or black (left arrow key). Then press space key – only the middle reel will spin. If the card matches the colour you chose, then you win extra Turns. If not, then normal gameplay resumes. Remember: Card Master’s bonus game helps you earn extra turns – you can return to it in later games if your turns are running low.

Sea Treasures: Whenever you win, you get a bonus game, which is played similarly, but with a much higher chance of winning. With each lucky combination, you earn extra points. If you don’t win, normal gameplay resumes.

Casino Fortune: Whenever you get 3 "Fortune", you get a bonus game. Choose one of "?" and press space. If you get a closed box, you are awarded the number of turns indicated on the screen. With each consecutive win in the bonus game, the number of turns awarded increases. If you get an open box, it means it is empty and the bonus game is over.
 
Winner: Whenever you get the word "Win-ner", you get a bonus game. Use the arrow keys and space key to select cards. The more cards you open, the more turns you get. The bonus game is over when you get the card "0".
