How do you understand the 5 line slot machine payoffs?

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking about the payout in relation to the amount bet.

If you are playing a slot machine with 5 winlines, there will be a "per line" bet. Usually, the payout displayed is a multiple of the line bet... So, if you bet 1 coin per line and the payout table shows a win with a 200x multiplier, hitting that win would pay (200 x 1) 200 coins.

Because you are betting on 5 lines at a time, the per spin cost would be 5 coins.

Some slot machines have "scatter" symbols. The payouts for these vary from a multiple of the total bet, to special bonus games. An example of the former case would be if the scatter win paid 10, on the wager of 1 coin per line and five lines played, the win for the scatter would be (1 coin x 5 lines x 20) 100 coins.

Hope this helps!
