Before spinning the reels of the Pearls of Atlantis slot machine you must
place a bet. Select the amount you wish to bet on a single payline and the
number of paylines you wish to play on. To place your bets you can use the bet
table below the slot machine or the "+" and "-" buttons on the game. To see
the payoffs, check the payoff chart below the machine. Pull the handle to spin
the reels of Pearls of Atlantis!
Every time three Treasure Chest symbols appear anywhere on the screen, select
one and click on it. The contents of the chest will be revealed. You can find
gold which increases your Treasure Chest fund, a piece of the Wheel of Fortune
or gems that will help you in the bonus game.
If you hit five "Triton" symbols on a payline while betting at least a total
of $10 per spin, you win the Progressive Jackpot.
Treasure Chest fund:
If the Treasure Chest you selected contains gold, a multiple of your total bet
is added to the Treasure Chest fund. The actual amount of your Treasure Chest
fund is displayed below the slot machine in yellow text. To win the Treasure
Chest fund, you have to play the Wheel of Fortune bonus game.
Wheel of Fortune bonus game:
The three Treasure Chest symbols may also hide pieces of the Wheel of Fortune
bonus game. To enter the bonus game you have to collect all 5 pieces of the
outer wheel. Each piece has various multipliers connected to it; you will find
these multipliers very useful later on when you enter the multiplying phase of
the bonus game!
You can also find gems in the treasure chest which you collect on the inner
wheel. You always collect high value gems, which increases the amount you can
win. Therefore low value gems are either discarded or are replaced by the high
value gems that you find. Each gem you find increases your chances to enter the
multiplying phase of the bonus game.
When you collect all 5 pieces of the outer wheel, you enter the bonus game.
The first phase of the bonus game determines if you can enter the second,
multiplying phase and if you do, with what portion of your Treasure Chest fund.
In the first phase you have three spins to hit one of the gems in the inner
wheel. The two, top (yellow) and bottom (red) gems are always fixed and in
addition to these you may also have more gems, the amount of gems depends on
how many you found in the Treasure Chests. If you hit one of the gems, you
enter the second phase of the bonus game. If not, the bonus round ends and you
return to the slot machine game without affecting the balance of your Treasure
Chest fund.
Once you enter the second phase of the bonus game you can either collect the
portion of the Treasure Chest fund or multiply it by spinning the outer wheel.
To collect, press the "Collect" button. To multiply your winnings, press the
"Wager" button. You can judge your chances of multiplying your winnings by
checking the number of blank and multiplier fields on the outer wheel. Every
time you successfully multiply your winnings, some of the multiplying fields
disappear. You can collect your winnings at any time or continue to wager. When
you hit a blank field, your winnings are lost and the game ends.
