Just a heads-up on this slot that it has an error on the pays, at first I thought it was underpaying me but it turns out it's more of a cosmetic error than anything else - took me a while to suss it out, so here you go.
If you're not familiar with the slot it's a 27-way pays three reel slot, with two extra multiplier reels.
The stages of play are:
1) At the start of a spin all five reels spin.
2) If the three main reels don't result in a win, the two multiplier reels immediately stop, the play is over, return to step 1.
3) If the three main reels result in any win, the focus of the game then moves to the first multiplier reel, this can stop on a multiplier of 0x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. If it stops on 0x the win achieved is paid, the play is over, return to step 1.
4) If the first multiplier reel stops on 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x then the win is immediately multiplied, and the focus of play moves to the second multiplier reel, which has the same stops as the first multiplier reel. Whatever the second multiplier reel lands on is acted on, the play is over, return to step 1. (So the best win possible is 100x the original win, if both multiplier reels stop on 10x.)
So then, what's wrong with this slot is that it sometimes gets the multiplier reels the wrong way round.
So for example a win of 50 coins gets a 2x multiplier on the first multiplier reel, but actually gets increased to 150 coins, then the second multiplier reel stops on 3x, but the win is then only increased to 300 coins.
The most common way it gets it wrong is mixing up 2x and 3x multipliers (i.e. 2x is shown but awards 3x, then the second reel shows 3x but only does 2x), the net effect is the win still works out correctly, but it looks wrong.
I've also seen it do it with 2x and 5x, and this is where you'll notice it a lot more. If you don't realise that the 2x actually gave a 5x, then you'll be watching a win apparently hit a 5x multiplier, but it'll only get multiplied at 2x, and you'll think you've been short-changed.
I had one where I thought I was on for a really big win as the second multiplier reel stopped on 5x, and then I was like 'Eh? There's no way that just multiplied 5x!'
If you have a mess around with it in free play, you'll see it yourself sooner or later.
It's no biggy insofar as the slot does pay out correctly, but you may think you're being conned!
This screenshot is of it working properly, but imagine the 2x and 5x being swapped around, but the 2x giving 5x, and the 5x giving 2x.
