How to Play the Game
To play, click on the settings icon on the upper right corner of the slot. This will take you to the control settings. Choose the amount of money you want to wager per line. The minimum is 0.01 coin and the maximum is 10 coins. Next, select the number of lines you want to bet on. The number of pay lines will be multiplied to your bet so if you bet on 25 with 10 coins each, your total shell out for that spin is 250 coins.
For a player to win, you must match symbols on a line. The symbols must start from reel 1. The paytable has no relevance to your stake because it is a fixed multiplier. Each prize amount is simply multiplied to your bet on a line. Here is the prize table.
| PAY TABLE | ||||||
| Times on a Pay Line | SYMBOLS | |||||
| Oil Driller | Classic Car | Oil Chart or Cash Box | A & K | Q & J | 10 & 9 | |
| 5 | 2,500 | 1,000 | 250 | 200 | 150 | 100 |
| 4 | 500 | 100 | 50 | 25 | 20 | 15 |
| 3 | 50 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 5 | 5 |
| 2 | 5 | 4 | 3 | – | – | – |
The Wild substitutes for all symbols but it only appears during the bonus round.
Jackpots and Bonuses
The jackpot of the game is 2,500X your line bet. You can win this by landing the Oil Driller character five times on a pay line where you have a stake.
The bonus round is called the Upwild Feature. It gets triggered if you land at least one Oil Tycoon symbol in reels 2, 3, or 4. If you do land one, a Wild grows from the bottom of that reel and cover the entire column. It will stay there for three spins and disappear. You can only have one Upwild for every three spins.
