1. Overview
The goal is to obtain a winning combination on a winning line spread across the reels.
The game disconnects if you do not take any actions for a specific number of consecutive minutes (this number varies depending on jurisdiction); the session recovery feature will save the game progress so that the next time the game is loaded, you can continue where you left off.
In the event of technical difficulties resulting in a dropped connection to the game server, the game you were playing is saved automatically and will load the next time you establish a connection to the game server. You will not be able to reconnect to the game server for the first 30 seconds after the disconnection.
Note: In case of malfunction, all pays and plays are voided; any bet that was not yet accepted will be voided, and any bet that was unsettled will be refunded.
