Everybody's Jackpot

9-reel 8-line slots

The objective of Everybody's Jackpot is to obtain winning symbol combinations by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

Line bets are chosen by clicking + and – below Line Bet to increase or decrease the amount.
Total bet per game round = line bet X 8. This is due to the fact that the game Everybody's Jackpot is played using a fixed number of 8 active lines, no more, no less.
Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets. During the reel spins the Spin button changes into Stop. Clicking Stop ends the spin animation and immediately displays the spin result.
Reels can also be spun using the Auto Play function. Note that you must first set the Autoplay limitations. Click here for more information.
Mouse over the Auto Play button to display the list of options. Select the number of spins to be played automatically. Clicking on an option starts the Auto Play function. The Auto Play button changes into Stop during the Auto Play mode. The Auto Play mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when you click Stop.
Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Winning combinations on lines 4 and 5 are tripled, except for the Scatter wins. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
On a given payline, only the highest payline winning combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are accumulated.
In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The Win ticker can be stopped by clicking anywhere on the screen to display the total win amount immediately.
Payline wins and the total win are also displayed on the strip located at the bottom of the reels or the game window.

Info page:

Clicking Info opens the reference screen describing different game components. Clicking the arrow buttons at the lower right-hand corner of the screen enables navigating between the different info screens.

The Paytable screen shows all winning combinations. When opened after a winning spin, the winning symbol combinations (number of symbols and bet multiplier) are highlighted and blink.
The Everybody's Jackpot screen describes how players of this game qualify for the Jackpot, how the Jackpot is won and distributed.
The Free Games screen describes the symbol combinations necessary to trigger the Free Games feature and describes the Free Games feature rules.
The Paylines screen illustrates all possible payline combinations and explains the payout rules.

Clicking Back exits the Info screen and returns to the game.

Paylines:

All 8 lines are active during the game.
There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows how much is being bet in total on the game round. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

About payouts:

Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout.
If two payline winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are accumulated.
Winning combinations can only be on an active payline and the symbols have to be consecutive. Paylines 1 through 5 pay left to right and paylines 6 through 8 pay from the topmost reel to the bottom.

The Scatter symbol is an exception to these rules. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

Everybody's Jackpot

The game is played with a Mystery Progressive Jackpot.
A player qualifies to win or share the Jackpot by having bet in the game at least 50€ in the last 24 hours.
There is a qualifying meter at the side of the reels with 6 levels of progress that show whether the player has qualified or how far the qualification is depending on his total bet.

The Jackpot is triggered randomly during main game by any spin, whether a winning spin or a non-winning spin. The player who triggered the spin wins 70% of the Jackpot prize. The remaining 30% are distributed in the following way: 15% is shared equally among all qualified players and the remaining 15% is distributed amongst the players proportionally to their bets during the last 24 hours – the more the player bets, the greater his share. The Jackpot cannot be triggered during Free Games.

The Everybody's Jackpot works as follows:

Seed (how much money the Everybody's Jackpot starts with):	€ 20,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies)
Average contribution rate (what average percentage of each maximum total bet goes into the Everybody's Jackpot):	3.00% (the average seed pot contribution is 0.3% and the average progressive jackpot contribution is 2.7%)

Note:

In case 2 players win the Everybody's Jackpot at the same time, the 1^st player will be awarded the seed and the progressive part, and the 2^nd one will win the seed together with any possibly accumulated progressive part for the time between the winning of the Everybody's Jackpot by the 1^st and the 2^nd player.
A player that has quit the game can still share another player’s win of the Jackpot if he qualifies for it.
The Jackpot cannot be triggered during Free Games. However, it is possible for a qualified player to share another player’s Jackpot during Free Games.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol appears only during Free Games and may occupy only the central reel. It can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to appear on any particular payline or be aligned in any particular order on a payline in order to win. If there are two or more Scatters in any position in the spin results, the payout earned is multiplied by the total bet and added to payline winnings.

If three or more Scatters appear anywhere on the reels during main game or during Free Games, 12 Free Games with a Wild symbol are triggered.

Free Games

Three or more Scatters in any position on the reels simultaneously during main game, trigger 12 Free Games with a Wild symbol. The Wild symbol may appear only on the central reel during Free Games and substitutes for all symbols except Scatter.

Three or more Scatters in any position on the reels simultaneously during Free Games win 12 more Free Games with the same rules. More Free Games can be retriggered in this way infinitely.

To start the Free Games, click on Click to Start. A message appears saying that a Free Games round follows. After a short while the Free Games begin automatically.

During the Free Games, the reels are spun automatically using the same number of lines and bets per line as on the spin that won the Free Games. After each spin, the win is displayed in the Win field. The Free Games Win field shows the accumulated winnings from the current Free Games.

After all Free Games have been completed, a result board summarizes the winnings. Game Win shows the winnings that were received from the spin that won the Free Games. Feature Win shows the winnings that were received during the Free Games. Total Win shows the accumulated winnings (Game Win and Feature Win added up).

Clicking Continue will return you to the main game. When returning to the main game, clicking anywhere on the screen stops the win ticker and displays the full prize.

Free Games wins are added to the payline and Scatter wins.

If the Free Games are triggered during the Auto Play mode, the feature begins after the player clicks on Click to Start. When all Free Games have been played and the player clicks Continue on the screen summarizing the Free Games win, the Auto Play mode resumes. When returning to the main game, clicking anywhere on the screen stops the win ticker and displays the full prize.

Return to Player

The minimum theoretical return to player (RTP) percentage is 91.01% and the maximum theoretical return to player (RTP) percentage that includes the Jackpot contribution is 94.01%.
