Reading the controls and stake
The historical interface below shows 20 lines, five coins per line and a coin value of 0.10. The complete stake is therefore 20 × 5 × 0.10 = 10 account units. No currency symbol identifies these units as dollars or euros. A payout expressed in line-bet multiples uses a different basis from one expressed in total-bet multiples.
Line awards and the two wild symbols
Ordinary symbols pay from left to right on a selected line. The pictured instructions award only the highest win on each line. Multiply the table value by coins staked on that line, then by the coin value to convert the award into account units.
| Symbol | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 15 | 75 |
| K | 8 | 15 | 60 |
| Q | 5 | 10 | 50 |
| J | 5 | 10 | 40 |
| 10 | 2 | 6 | 30 |
| 9 | 2 | 5 | 25 |
Double Wild and Triple Wild substitute for symbols other than the treasure chest. When substituting, they apply 2× and 3× respectively. The screen explicitly limits a win to its highest wild multiplier: seeing both does not justify multiplying 2 × 3 to claim 6×.
For example, three aces at five coins per line and a 0.10 coin value give 10 × 5 × 0.10 = 5 units before wild multipliers. A qualifying Double Wild substitution makes that 10 units; a Triple Wild substitution makes it 15 units. The full 20-line spin still costs 10 units. With no other awards, those results mean a five-unit loss, break-even or a five-unit profit respectively.
Scatter awards use the total stake
The scatter table uses the complete bet, rather than one line’s stake. Its instructions require left-to-right combinations; do not interpret scatter as an unrestricted anywhere-on-the-reels payout. Scatter awards are added to line awards.
| Symbol | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruby of the Nile logo | 10× | 30× | 100× |
| Cleopatra | 10× | 25× | 80× |
| Horus | 8× | 20× | 75× |
| Anubis | 8× | 20× | 75× |
At the pictured 10-unit total stake, five qualifying logo scatters have a base award of 100 × 10 = 1,000 units. This is an award for a specified result, not an expected return. The historical screen supports 100×; the previous 300× figure was incorrect.
Treasure chest and free spins
The treasure chest must land in the middle position of reel five to trigger up to 20 free spins. The screen says all wins during that feature receive a 2× multiplier, free spins can be retriggered, and the triggering bet and line settings carry over. It does not establish an unlimited retrigger count or promise that every trigger awards exactly 20 spins.
