TIPS AND TRICKS

• Gamble Feature:

When a win comes up, you are given the change to bet on the credits you've just won.
If you select the right colour (Red or Black), your win is doubled. If you select the wrong item, you lose the gamble and it goes back to the main game.
You can take a win at any time, but if you win 5 times in the one gamble feature, the game ends automatically. You can't gamble more than $10,000 however (but, would you?!).
If you win a progressive jackpot on the machine, you can't gamble the win, even if you actually won credits on the same spin the jackpot went off. This game doesn't generally have a jackpot, it's up to the gaming venue if it's hooked up to one or not.
