Ask the Slot Expert: Slot machine pay table quiz - answers4 September 2019
Sometimes it's difficult to figure out why a machine has paid you what it paid you when the game has multiplying wild symbols. A few days ago I was playing a three-reel, single-line video slot from Everi called Fascination. I had a few combinations land on the payline that took me a while to figure out why they paid what they did. Following is the paytable for the machine and some winning combinations. These are the tables that appeared in last week's column so you don't have to go back to it if you missed it. The answers appear in the last table. The following table lists the symbols used in the paytable and quiz combinations.
The following table is the paytable for the game.
Here are some combinations. How much do they pay?
Here are the answers.
We actually did things backwards in this quiz. You don't have to figure out how much a combination pays. The machine pays you for the combination and you have to figure out why the machine paid what it paid. I didn't give the calculation for the last combination. It's the trickiest combination. In case you got it wrong, you now have the correct answer and can try to figure out the calculation. (If you got it right, then you already know the calculation.) Here's a hint for figuring out tricky payouts: First gather the multipliers in the combination and divide them out of the payout. That will give you the base pay, which you should be able to find on the paytable. Here's a bonus question: If W W W pays 500, what does 2W 3W 4W pay?
