| Video Reel Machines | A video reel slot machine operates on the same principle as the reel machine, except the reels are displayed via a video screen. Bonus screens are also featured which allow you
to increase your winnings by participating in an animated bonus round. Players can press buttons or simply touch the screen to initiate play. |

Betting Options
Making a bet at a slot machine has evolved from inserting a coin and pulling the handle to the many betting options offered on today's state-of-the-art machines.
-
The amount of the jackpots and payouts are multiplied by the number of credits bet. For example, a bet of 1 credit might pay $100, 2 credits would multiply the pay to $200, etc. You are not penalized for playing less than the maximum amount of coins. If you're on a limited budget and only wish to play one coin at a time, this is the type of slot machine you should look for.
The amount(s) to be won may be displayed in a meter incorporated into the machine's pay glass or on a display meter above the machines. In some cases the amounts may be displayed on the video screen of each machine. In order to be eligible, play maximum credits to take advantage of the highest progressive jackpots available.
-
This option is available on many of our reel and almost all of our video reel slot machines. It enables you to play additional lines with each credit bet. This strategy maximizes the action or more frequent hits by allowing opportunities for multi-wins on each game. If you hit a winning combination on a line that is not activated by wagering an additional credit, you will not win.
-
On this type of slot machine you can buy additional pay lines with each credit bet and can play multiple credits on each line. Additional credits bet on each line multiply the payouts by the number of credits bet on the line.
-
Each credit bet buys another Winning pay symbol(s) on the pay panel. For example, a 1 credit bet might win the payout for 3 bars, a 2 credit bet would win the payout for the 3 bars or the payout for 3 sevens. Should 3 sevens appear as a winning payout with only 1 credit bet, you would not be a winner, thus the term Buy Pay. If you hit the top jackpot combination with less than the maximum credits bet on this type of slot machine you will not win. If you play the max coin bet when you play a Buy Pay slot machine you may take full advantage of its optimum hit frequency.
-
Jackpots and payouts can be won on both the payline and in any position on different reels. Payouts do vary, so please read the award panels specific to that game.
-
This type of slot machine allows you to play a cluster of pre-assigned denominations (e.g. 5¢, 25¢, $1) all in one cabinet, at any time, without leaving your machine.
-
On designated machines, we offer a variety of games. You'll find these types of machines mostly in the video poker type. You may find two or three other poker models. On a bonus poker machine you may choose various bonus poker games and even find various versions of video Keno or the game of video Black Jack.

Vouchers, also known as tickets, are a method of payment of coinless wagering up to $10,000. The purpose of voucher pay is to provide better service to our customers by decreasing wait times. When you walk up to a slot machine, simply insert your money into the slot machine's bill changer and the appropriate credits will register for you to begin play. When you cash out the slot machine will print a bar coded paper representing the value of your remaining credits. Payments in excess of $10,000 and Jackpots of $1,200 and above will be hand paid by a slot department associate.
Instead of carrying around cumbersome plastic buckets filled with coins, or waiting for a machine to be refilled, simply take your voucher with you. If you play another machine, insert your voucher into the slot machine, the same as cash. The slot machine then registers the value of the voucher into credits for play. At any time during play you have the option of cashing out and taking your voucher to one of our voucher redemption kiosks and redeeming it for cash. Terms and conditions for voucher redemption are contained on the back of each voucher.

Slot Machine Facts
The payouts of today's modern slot machines are determined through a random number generator. All slot machines are tested by certified independent labs that meet all standards set by the NIGC federal agency as well as by the Seminole Tribe Gaming Commission (STGC). The games also meet the necessary requirements to operate under the compact agreement between the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
One common myth is that once a slot machine hits, it won't hit again for a long time. Slots payouts are random and the odds for every spin are the same. Even if a slot machine just paid a big win, the next spin could win as well. The uncertainty of when the next win will take place is what generates the excitement of playing slots. As you walk around our casino floor, note the colored lights affixed to the top of each slot machine. The color of the light denotes the denomination of the slot machine.
