Reading the stake and win displays
The captured controls show 20 lines and 10 coins per line: a total stake of 200 coins. The coin value is 0.01, making that stake 2.00 account units. The screen explicitly reports an 80-coin win, equivalent to 0.80 account units at that coin value. That return is 120 coins, or 1.20 units, less than the stake; a displayed win is not necessarily a net profit. No currency is established by this screenshot.
Logo wilds and Bonus Bulletin scatters
LCB’s review identifies the game logo as the wild, substituting for ordinary symbols but not the Bonus Bulletin scatter. It describes three, four or five Bonus Bulletin symbols anywhere on the reels as paying 5, 10 or 50 times the total bet. Those are total-stake multipliers, not per-line multipliers.
For example, using the captured 200-coin stake, the described three-scatter award would be 5 times 200, or 1,000 coins. At a 0.01 coin value that is 10.00 account units. This is a calculation from the review’s scatter rule, not the outcome shown in the screenshot.
The 15-choice Bonus Bulletin board
The bonus trigger is distinct from a three-scatter payout: the historical review specifies a Bonus Bulletin on both reel one and reel five. The gallery confirms the resulting five-by-three selection board. Choosing a symbol reveals the award; the screenshot does not show which choice was made.
LCB describes possible awards of up to 20 free spins with a multiplier up to five, or an instant bonus up to 157 times total bet. These are reported feature limits, not guaranteed prizes. Its review also says the Bonus Bulletin feature cannot retrigger during free spins.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 80-coin win eighty currency units?
No. At the pictured 0.01 coin value, eighty coins equal 0.80 account units. The 200-coin stake equals 2.00 units.
Does the selection round need three scatters?
The historical review gives a separate trigger: Bonus Bulletin symbols on reels one and five. Its three-or-more scatter award is a different rule.
Does the logo substitute for Bonus Bulletin?
No. LCB’s description explicitly excludes the scatter from wild substitution.
Does this establish current availability, RTP or a maximum cash prize?
No. The evidence identifies an older desktop edition. LCB’s review and metadata give different maximum cash figures, so neither is used here as a verified ceiling. Check the loaded game’s help for its edition and current settings.
