Dear Anyone.

Love watching people like the Big Jackpot and NG Slots – with one plobrem.  I don’t understand this ‘denom’ thing.

Like…. if you’re playing – for example, cos I don’t know what I’m talking about – $1 a go, that’s $1`denom, am I right? So if it’s – again for example – $10 a spin, is that because all the wins are multiplied by 10? My problems start when people change the denom but the amount per press stays thye same. Because if I’ve got the above logic right, if you went up to $2 denom, $10 per spin, the wins would only be multiplied by 5, wouldn’t they (5 x 2 = 10!)

If that’s right, what’s the point? Assuming I’m wrong – as I think I am – how’s it working? If you’re doing a mad amount per spin line NG does sometimes – say $200 – what’s it multiplying the wins by?

Be gentle with the explanation because I flat don’t see it at the moment and I’d LURVE to understand it!  First of all I thought it was just like in the bookies here, 50p a spin to £2 a spin but on steroids.  But it can’t be because over here that IS the stake.  I mean if it’s £2, that’s how much it is per spin.  You can’t put it on £2 and then do £10 spins (or maybe you can in a casino, never been in one, dunno anything about them.) But in the bookies, if it says £2, that’s the cost per spin.  Doesn’t seem to work like that in the Vegas arcades and I’m lost.  I know there’s multiple winlines on the Vegas slots.  But so there are in the bookies.

Yours puzzledly,

Chris.

The denomination is the price per play per line so if it is set to 5 cents @ 100 lines thats $5. if you set it to 50 cents @ 100 lines thats $50 and so on. If you can set the lines at 20 lines for 50 cents per line ($10) per play and line 5 hit for example, you will get the same payout as line 5 hitting when playing at $50 spins as the denomination is the same. The difference being less lines to hit so when its a multi line payout containing lots wild lines for example, you would be paid out more @$50 than $10 in this case for more winning lines. This also carries over into the free spins and features.

Dear IC.

Just read your lovely answer.

I see it – I think – I’m going away to  think about that, try it out on a picture of a Vegas machine I’ve got and see when it makes sense to me (if brains were computers mine would be an Amstrad!)

Seriously – thanks for it.  Follow up question – will tell you if I’ve got the idea or not – Megaways.  Pretend you’re playing a Megaways slot on – just for argument’s sake – $50 per go.  As the amount of Megaways changes every spin, the price per line would be changing every spin, am I right ? So wouldn’t FEWER lines of the same symbols pay more because the multiplier’s more per line? If you got LOTS of lines – I’ve seen, like, 3540 winlines, things like that – the multiplier would only be a fraction of a cent per line, no? As 50 / 3540 = 0.01412 (just Googled it!) that would be the multiplier per line? So why play megaways when the multiplier gets SMALLER the more winlines you have?

Brieftly back to FOBTs – British bookies terminals full of slots) because they’re the ones I have most experience of – they’re £2 per spin (Dunno if you’re American or not but think of it as $2 if you are, the question would be the same!) If there were 40 winlines, the win on each line would be multiplied by 5 pence or cents, am I right? As 40 lines, 5p (or cents) a line = £ (or $)2. So when you look at the paytable and it says a full winline of – for example – jacks is £5, you’d multiply that by 5 to get the amount you actually win? Next time I go into a bookies I’ll have to check that because I’d not thought of it like that before and I’m not sure if that’s what I’ve actually been getting!

Sorry if I’m being dumbass somewheres, I’m trying to understand all this mathematically rather than just shoving in notes and bashing buttons and I’ve never tried to understand things mathematically before – I’ve just shoved in notes and bashed buttons!

Yours head-scratchingly

Chris.

Hi, I’m glad you got your answer. however I have a question…

What’s so entertaining about the American players ?

Woohoo 10x. woohoo $50 bets, I got a jackpot of $1,020 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! insert endless exclamation marks here !!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve tried many of them, I found some of them are seemingly nice people, none of them are entertaining, some of them need mental help and some of them are a total fraud.

Dear Farahtrousers et al.

Was I right in how I was thinking of it,  then? The Megaways and everything? Still not REALLY sure if I’ve got it!

Yours hopefully

Chris.

The denomintion is set before the press of the button and counts for that spin.  The Stake = price line (denomination can be in cents or dollars)   multiplied by the number of lines per play so vegas machines can have 1c games with a hundred lines , thus at 5c denomiation  it would be 5c x100. After the start of a feature in that spin,  the feature can change number of lines as in a megaways game but the price of play is set when you press the button and does not change during the feature. If the number of lines in a feature increases it means more chances of a win at the price set by you pressing start in the beginning.
