How is a slot win calculated? In this illustrative twenty-line game, a two rand total bet means ten cents per line. The paytable uses line-bet multipliers. One line pays fifty times ten cents: five rand. Another pays ten times ten cents: one rand. Combined payout: six rand. Subtract the two rand spin cost: four rand net gain. Do not add the stake back again. Games differ: check the bet basis and which wins combine. Eighteen plus. Play responsibly.
