| Premise | |
A 3-Line Slot machine, or fruit machine, has three spinning reels. Players may wager on one, two or three lines. Each time a spin is made, the three reels come to rest randomly with a selection of symbols showing in the game window. Certain combinations of symbols in the game window result in payoffs. The payoffs for the different winning combinations are shown in a payout table. To view the payout table, simply click on the "PAYOUT TABLE" button.
Littlewoods Casino's online 3-Line Slots also include a bonus feature that enables players to collect Bonus Points over time. The number of bonus points collected is displayed in a grid at the top-right hand side of the screen. Bonus Points are preserved between sessions. Upon filling one line on the grid, the player's bonus points are converted to cash.
| How to Play | |
To begin playing Littlewoods Casino online 3-Line Slots, simply select the number of lines that you would like to play. To play one line, click on the "BET ONE" button once, to play two lines click on the "BET ONE" button again. To bet three lines, click on the "BET ONE" button a third time. Alternatively, to play three lines, click on the "BET MAX" button. After selecting the number of lines that you wish to play, click on the "SPIN REELS" button. If you select "BET MAX" the reels will begin spinning automatically. When the reels stop, your payoff will be determined from a table of winning combinations shown by clicking on the "PAYOUT TABLE" button. Any credits you win will be displayed in the Paid field. Upon placing your next bet the credits in the Paid field will be added to your Credits (minus the amount of the bet which will be displayed in the Bet field).
