It didnt take long to make. You can correct the probabilites on your webpage with this easy-to-use tool KK. No GUI - only command line though.

1) Unzip file to a folder.
2) start a CMD(prompt) and switch to that folder.
3) start program with syntax: java ScatterProbabilities 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.06818681868

This is the probabilities for Thunderstruck btw. (3/30=0.1 and 3/44=0.06818681868)

The program will then instantly give you the following output:

Probability for exactly 5 scatters=:6.818681868000002E-6~1/146655.9108283067
Probability for exactly 4 scatters=:3.3865386538000004E-4~1/2952.8675211721275
Probability for exactly 3 scatters=:0.006668406840600002~1/149.96085630402587
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probability for getting at least 5 scatters=:6.818681868000002E-6~1/146655.9108283067

Probability for getting at least 3 scatters=:0.007013879387848002~ 1/142.5744505576421

A) you have the reel layout and paytable in front of you it takes a minute to verify, not difficult.

A minute? OK you do it then!
(I reckon it would take me more than 30 minutes).

I wasn't 'having a go' or anything - just expressing my personal opinion. I understand that you want to know exactly how online slots work in the minutest detail, but all I want to know is how to win on them!

Anyway, thanks very much for your post about how to work out the scatters. You were actually doing exactly what Zoozie & Gerilege said, but I found your description easier to understand.

Using your method I have amended my spreadsheet, and now get this:-

I hope these are right now (I didn't check against anyone else's figures before posting!).
Thanks to everyone for pointing out the error of my ways!
