¶ Slot Machines
A slot machine is a quick game of luck for one player. You pick a bet, pull the lever, and three reels spin. Line up matching symbols and you win a multiple of your bet, up to 500 times your bet for three crowns.
You can find slot machines at Buck E. Bees Casino in Minoc, just south of the tinker shop.
¶ How to start
- Walk up to a slot machine. You need to be within 6 paces of it.
- Use the machine (double-click it) to open its window.
- The window shows your gold, the three reels, the bet buttons and the Spin button.
¶ How to play
- Choose your bet by clicking one of the bet buttons: 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 gold. Your chosen bet is highlighted. The machine starts you at 100 gold.
- Click Spin. Your bet is taken and the reels turn for about two seconds.
- See the result. The reels stop and the band under them tells you how you did:
- YOU WON: you hit a winning line, and the window shows your prize and the line.
- BET BACK: one cherry, so you get your bet back.
- NO WIN: better luck next spin.
- Spin again as often as you like.
Click Pay Table to see every winning line and what it pays at your current bet.
¶ Stakes and fees
| Bet buttons | 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 gold per spin |
|---|---|
| Entry fee | None. You only pay your bet. |
| House share | The machine keeps about 10 % of what is bet, as shown on the pay table. |
Each bet is paid in one go from a single place: the coins in your backpack, the coins in your bank box, one bank check, or your bank balance. Gold split across several of these does not add up, so at least one of them must cover the whole bet. The gold figure in the window shows the largest bet you can pay this way.
You can’t spin while you are dead or in combat, or without enough gold to cover the bet.
¶ Winning and payouts
Each spin is judged on all three reels. Wins pay a multiple of your bet, and that amount is the whole prize, with your bet already included.
| Line | Pays (times your bet) | At a 100 gold bet |
|---|---|---|
| Three Crowns | 500 x | 50,000 |
| Three Diamonds | 100 x | 10,000 |
| Three Horseshoes | 50 x | 5,000 |
| Three Clovers | 30 x | 3,000 |
| Three Bells | 20 x | 2,000 |
| Three Grapes | 15 x | 1,500 |
| Three Lemons | 10 x | 1,000 |
| Three Cherries | 10 x | 1,000 |
| Any two Cherries | 4 x | 400 |
| One Cherry | 1 x (your bet back) | 100 |
- Prizes go straight to your bank balance, not your backpack. That way a win is never lost if you walk away, log out or travel.
- A chat message tells you the line you hit and the gold you won, or that your bet came back on a single cherry.
- On a big win of 100 times your bet or more, the machine calls it out to everyone nearby.
- A three crowns jackpot is announced across the whole shard. The announcement never names the winner.
¶ Good to know
- Distance: stay within 6 paces of the machine. If you are too far away, the machine won’t open or let you spin.
- One spin at a time: each machine runs one spin at a time, whoever is playing it. While its reels are turning, you can’t spin it again, and neither can anyone else. Very fast repeated clicks are ignored.
- Closing the window: your spin is already paid for, and the prize goes to your bank balance even if you close the window or walk away during the spin.
- Server restart: if the server restarts in the middle of a spin, that spin is cancelled and your bet is refunded to your bank balance.
- Closed machine: a machine can be closed. Its window says so, and you can’t spin until it opens again.
- Something went wrong: if a spin can’t be completed, your bet is refunded to your bank balance.
