Help
Most video games have a HELP button that brings up a screen with information for novice players, such as the purpose of the various buttons, the configuration of the paylines, and what to do if something malfunctions.

Paytable
Pressing this button on a video game brings the paytable to the screen. It is often several pages in length. Sometimes this button is marked SEE PAYS.

Cash Out
Pressing this button converts any credits accumulated in the machine to coins that are noisily dumped into the metal coin tray. You would normally do this whenever you are ready to leave that machine or any time you want to convert your credits into coins. If a large number of credits is involved, pressing the CASH OUT button may result in the appearance of an attendant who will pay you by hand. More and more machines use cash tickets, which means you will receive a ticket instead of coins. The ticket can be converted to currency by any cashier at that free slots casino. This button is sometimes marked CASH/CREDIT or COLLECT.

Change
Pressing this button illuminates the service light on top of the machine, summoning the change person. Besides calling for change, you should also press the button any time something seems to go wrong with the machine. This button is often marked SERVICE.

Displays
There are several displays to help the player keep track of bets, credits, and amounts won. There may be some location and terminology variations between different types of machines, but they all perform the same basic functions.

Coin In
This indicator shows how many coins or credits you have committed on the next spin. On some machines, it may be labeled BET or COINS PLAYED. Somewhere on most machines is a sign that states: Pays Only on Coins Accepted. So, before you hit the SPIN button, be sure that the machine accepted as many coins as you intended to bet.

Lines Bet
This indicator shows how many paylines are currently activated, based on which PLAY LINES button you pressed.

Bet Per Line
This indicator shows how many credits you intend to wager on each payline, depending on which BET PER LINE button you pressed.

Total Bet
This is the total amount of your intended wager, which is the number of activated paylines multiplied by the number of credits per payline.

Credits
This keeps track of the amount of credits you have accumulated in the machine. The denomination of each credit is the same as the game denomination; that is, if you are playing a quarter machine, each credit is worth a quarter. The total number of credits goes up whenever you slide a bill into the currency acceptor. On a quarter machine, for example, a ten-dollar bill will add forty credits to the total. The total number of credits also goes up when the machine pays off a winning combination. On the other hand, when you press the BET ONE or MAX BET button, the appropriate number of credits is deducted from the total.

Win Paid
Whenever you win, the amount of the payout is shown on this indicator. This amount is also added to the total in the CREDITS indicator. On some machines, this display is labeled PAID or WINNER PAID.

Insert Coin
This message is illuminated whenever the machine is idle with no bets registered. It turns off when a coin is dropped in or a credit is bet.

Coin Accepted
When you drop in a coin, this message lights up to tell you that the machine is ready for a spin. Of course, the message will not illuminate if the coin is rejected and drops through to the coin tray.

Bet One
On a spinning-reel machine, pressing this button will register as a one-credit bet. It is exactly the same as if you put one coin into the slot, which is an alternative. If you press the button a second time, it will register as a two-credit wager. If you press it a third time, you bet three credits, and so forth. On some machines, this button is marked BET 1 CREDIT.

Play 1 Line, Play 3 Lines, etc.
This row of buttons is found on five-reel video games and typically gives you a choice of one payline, three lines, five lines, seven lines, or nine lines. If you don’t press any button, some machines default to the maximum number of payline.

Bet 1 Per Line, Bet 2 Per Line, etc.
After selecting the number of paylines on a video game, you have to decide how many credits per line you want to bet. The usual choice is one through five, although on some games you can bet as many as ten credits per line. This type of machine usually does not have a SPIN button, so pressing the BET PER LINE button activates the reels.

Bet Max
Pressing this button causes two actions to occur. First, it registers a maximum credit bet, whatever it might be for that machine. If it is a two-coin machine, it will register two coins; if it is a three-coin machine, it will register three coins and so forth. Second, it automatically spins the reels; you don’t have to press the SPIN button. On some machines, this button is marked PLAY MAX CREDITS.

Rebet
Pressing this button spins the reels, repeating the exact wager you made on the previous spin.

Spin
After indicating the number of credits you wish to bet or after inserting one or more coins, pressing this button starts the game by causing the reels to spin. If you did not wager any coins or credits, the button will do nothing. On some machines, this button is marked SPIN REELS.
