Read across a row
The upper route takes the top window of each reel; the middle and lower routes do the same at their own heights. Every row therefore includes one symbol from each column.
Read the three names aloud when a player is learning. The award follows the match within those spaces, rather than the number of similar-looking pieces across the whole rack.
Follow a full diagonal
One diagonal travels from upper left through the centre to lower right. The other travels from lower left through the centre to upper right. Each is a complete corner-to-corner route and both use the middle window of the centre reel.
A bent route, three corners or a line that skips the centre is not one of the five options. The selector in the practice table highlights the relevant spaces for every legal choice.
Commit only one result
The scoring scale is one coin for three different symbols, two for a pair and four for a triple. A pair or triple also provides one badge of the matching type. Multiple matching routes do not create multiple awards on the same turn.
You may inspect different routes before pressing Collect in the practice table. Collection commits the result; the next player then receives the actual reel arrangement. A fresh session, rather than an ordinary turn handover, restores the starting board.
