How to play ?

I'll keep talking about slot in this article.
Actually, there is some little differences between all the games.
How ?
Yeah, i know, there's only three buttons, a bet button, and a stick, and that's all you can push to play.
Yes, but game makers intelligently play with that.

But let's start from the beginning.

First of all, you'll need at least 1000 yen to start playing. You can't play with less.
With that, if you play a regular machine, you'll receive 50 medals of 20 yen each.
You put 3 medals inside the slot, then, the bet button is going to become "red".
You press it to "validate" your coins.
Then, you push the "stick" to make the machine start "rolling".
Then, you stop each of the 3 "wheels" pressing the 3 buttons bellow them.

The order you press the 3 buttons on the bottom usually doesn't matter, but on some machines, you have to press the one from the left first. If not, the machine will "buzz", and gives you a small "malus".
So, just as a good habit, you should always start pushing the one from the left.

Then, you have to align symbols.
In diagonal (allowed ones can differs from machines to machines), or horizontally.
On all the machines, it's always the same, except for the bonus symbol combinations :
- 3 blue symbols : replay -> no need to insert medals again (actually, if you do, they will "fall" directly outside the machine).
- 3 yellow symbols (usually bells) : receive 15 coins
- 3 green symbols (usually watermelon) : receive 15 coins, and a small chance
- 1 red symbol (usually cherry) : depending on the machine, getting a red symbol on the left or right "wheel" is sign of luck. The position on the band "up, middle, down" will inform you if it's a big sign of luck, or a small one.
- 3 black symbols "BAR" : regular bonus
- 3 "7" : big bonus.

All those information are written ON the machine, so after you sit, just take a quick look at it.
Especially, pay attention to the cherry, and the bonus combinations.
