Monster Carlo 20
How to play:
1. To set the stake you can increase or decrease your stake amount. Click either the plus (+) or minus ( - ) area on the Stake button respectively. This transfers funds from your account into the stake. The default stake is set to the value defined by the operator, which is increased or decreased with each click. Note: There is an alternative stake button which increases the stake with each click (no minus button). If you go over your intended stake, continuing to click the Stake button will eventually return the stake amount to the minimum again.
2. You have the opportunity of choosing up to 20 win lines per game. You can select how many win-lines to play with by either pressing the Lines button or the line indicator buttons (colour coded 1-20, situated on each side of he reels). Win lines will always pay from left to right only. The icon on the far left of the win line will act as a point of reference for finding at least two further matching icons as you move along the line towards the right. Each Win line has one unit of the stake associated with it, each line can win separately in any single game. If you ignore selecting either the Lines button or the line indicator buttons, then the default setting for the game will be used, which is all 20 lines.
Each click of the Lines button moves the line selection from 1 through to 20 respectively. Each click of the lines button adds one line to the selection. If you continue to click the lines button after 20, the cycle starts again at 1 line. The win line(s) and reel positions illuminate with each press of the button. Animations highlight each reel position and a “pathway” is shown making line selection clear and easy. To make things even clearer each line its own progressively colour coded button/indicator; starting with 1 (red) through to 20 (violet/purple).
3. Click the Spin button to spin the reels to start the game. When the reels stop, any wins will be registered automatically and added to your account (if you collect the win).
Special features and functionality
Monster Carlo has a special “no lose” feature game which, when activated, allows you a chance to win between 2X - 10 000X the stake value of the line that triggered the feature. All you have to do is play a mini-game by making simple selections.
To activate the special features
For special features to activate, a minimum of three consecutive feature icons (Fronster ) must appear on an activated win-line. The wild card icon WILL count as a feature icon, if a feature icon is already present. If you get more than 3 consecutive icons on an activated win line, the likelihood of winning the larger payouts increases with each additional consecutive icon present.
The stake value of the line that was used to trigger the feature will be saved. Any winnings in the feature will be multiplied by the triggering line-stake amount, giving the total win for the feature. The feature takes place in the space where the reels normally are.
Fright Night Feature description
In Fright Night you have to decide which of the 2 monsters available will win when they fight. There will be four rounds of fighting with different monsters for each fight.
• From the two monsters available; click on the monster you believe will win the fight.
• The monsters will then fight for around five seconds, and then a victor will emerge. If your chosen monster wins, you will receive a win multiple for that round.
• Choose your winner as described for the remaining 3 rounds of fights; If your chosen monster wins in any round, you will receive a win multiple for that round. Each win multiple will be added onto the last, creating a current win multiple total.
At the end of the feature, the win multiples achieved in the feature will be added together, and then line stake that triggered the feature will appear underneath. The total win for the feature will then be displayed which will consist of the final multiple achieved in the feature, multiplied by the line stake that initially triggered the feature. Double up will be offered on the final win amount for the feature (see: double up). If you choose to collect the win, winnings will be credited to your account immediately. Normal play will then resume.
Payable/Game Icons
Click the Paytable button to view the win multiples and icon list for the game. Payouts are shown in multiples of the winning line stake. A minimum of three consecutive icons from left to right on an active win line is required to win. The only exception is the scatted icon, which is explained in its own section:

What else can I do?
Customising the lines selection
It is possible to add or remove specific lines from those selected with the lines button. The line indicators (labelled 1-20 and colour coded) serve as buttons which can be used to add or remove win-lines from the selection. The individual line buttons are click on (illuminated), click off (not illuminated):
• To remove a selected line, click on the respective line number
• To add a line, click on the respective line number
NOTE: If you have customised the win lines selected (by individually adding/removing win lines), and then click the lines button; all lines of a lesser number than the highest line number selected will be switched on plus the next win line up in sequence (as detailed in the beginning of step 2) .
For example, if all win lines up to 10 were switched on, and then 4, 5 and 6 were turned off, and then the ‘lines’ button was pressed, lines 1 - 11 would ALL be turned on.
Win Line Indicators
All line wins will be displayed in local currency in a coloured box by the respective line indicator.
About the Bet Max button
The Bet Max button is a feature which enables bigger spending customers to place large bets quickly. If you click the Bet Max button; any stake/lines previously set will be overridden.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING: When the bet max button is selected, the stake and lines will be set automatically as follows; Bet Max = Maximum stake allowed/maximum number of lines playable AND playing all lines available.
Or put more simply;
Bet Max = Maximum stake (example: £1000) divided by the maximum number of lines available (20), multiplied by the maximum number of lines available per-game (20).
£1000 divided by 20 lines = £50 per line
£50 per line X 20 lines =
£1000 total stake per-spin.
The Auto Spin button
The Auto Spin will not be available in certain regions due to current laws.
If you press the Auto button, this will automatically start each game without pressing the spin button. Each game will start automatically until you get a win or something that requires player intervention like free spins. In Auto mode the Spin button becomes the Stop button, which is selected to resume manual play again. If the Auto-Spin is not available, the game will have 6 buttons only.
The Double Up option
With any win, you will be offered the opportunity to "double up." The double up is essentially a gamble feature in which you can double or quadruple a win if you correctly guess the colour or suit of the next card to be drawn respectively. If you do not wish to try the "double up" feature, pressing the collect button will collect the win and resume normal play. If you want to give it a try; click the gamble button to start the feature.
You now have 3 options:
1. Select/click one of the 4 suit buttons (which pay X4). A single card will be drawn. If you are correct, the current win will be multiplied by X4. If you are incorrect, you lose the win.
2. Select/click one of the 2 suit colour buttons, Red (Diamonds/Hearts) or Black (Spades/Clubs), which pay X2. If you are correct, the current win will be multiplied by X2. If you are incorrect, you lose the win.
3. You may click the collect button (normally the spin button) at any time to collect the win.
You may gamble your win until you either lose or reach the maximum win, which is £10,000 (variable by game operator). You may collect the win at any time. The talkback area informs the player of the maximum double up win. You are not permitted to gamble a win, if the successful result would exceed £10 000 (or the amount specified by the game operator). Examples: (assuming a £10 000 maximum win): If you have won £3000, you may Double Up using X2 buttons once only. The X4 buttons will be inactive because a X4 win would exceed £10 000. If you have won over £5000, the win is atomically collected
When is Double Up Offered?
Double Up will be offered on the total amount of winnings achieved in a single cash spin/play. This means that if you get Line wins, free-spins and a Special Feature game in a single spin; each will be played out in turn, then Double up will be offered on the total amount won in the cash spin/play. After any win, the Gamble button will blink and the auto spin button will become labelled as Collect; select gamble to play double up, or collect to collect the win and resume normal play again.
Note: that if you lose any double up gamble, you will win nothing.
All of the information inputted so far is displayed just under the reels.Now click the Spin button to spin the reels to start the game. When the reels stop, any wins will be registered automatically and added to your account (if you collect the win).
Scatters to Free Play
If 3 or more scatter icons (Cheese) appear ANYWHERE in the result of a game, the free play feature is triggered. The number of lines selected for play does not affect the way the scatters are triggered; the scatter icons can appear in any of the 15 visible reel positions.
The Wild Icon will NOT count as a Scatter icon
You need at least 3 scatters in a single result to trigger the Free Play feature. How many free plays you get depends on how many scatter icons trigger the feature:
- 3 scatters = 15 free plays - plus x2 the total stake that triggered the free plays*
- 4 scatters = 20 free plays - plus x3 the total stake that triggered the free plays*
- 5 scatters = 25 free plays - plus x10 the total stake that triggered the free plays*
* Examples:
Player A - gets 4 scatter icons in a result while playing 20 lines at £1 per-line.
£20 (total stake) X 5 (bonus for 4 scatters) = £100 bonus plus 20 free plays
Player B - gets 5scatter icons in a result while playing 1 line at £1 per-line.
£1 (total stake) X 10(bonus for 3 scatters) = £10 bonus plus 25 free plays
NOTE: The bonus payment is paid before the free plays begin.
What happens if I get 3 or more Scatter Icons in a single game?
If you get 3, 4 or 5 scatters in the result of a single game, any other wins will be credited to your account, then the scatter icons will illuminate with a small animation. The talkback pane will inform you that you have won X (number depends on how many scatters in the result) free plays, then the free plays will begin automatically... you do not have to do anything.
-
Free plays are free spins that start automatically and consecutively until they are exhausted.Before the free plays start the bonus will be added (see*). The talkback area will display all the free spins remaining on the left of the talkback area and the right side will display the cumulative win total of the free spins. If you get 3 or more scatter icons in a single spin during the free plays, you will receive the total stake bonus as described above and the extra free plays will be added to the existing total and played out immediately after the first set of free plays. Extra free plays are possible more than once in a feature. The stake and number of lines selected in the game that triggered the free plays will be used for the duration of the free play period. Free Spin wins that contain a wild card pay X2 the standard paytable win; the same rule applies in "normal" play.
Examples:
Player A: gets 4 scatter icons in a result while playing 20 lines at 50p per-line. They get 20 consecutive free plays, playing all 20 lines at 50p per-line.
Player B: gets 3 scatter icons in a result while playing 1 line at £1 per -line. they get 15 consecutive free plays, playing 1 line at £1 per-line.
The Wild Icon X2 Bonus
The Wild Icon will substitute for any icon (except the scatter icon) to make the best win possible. In addition, the wild Icon doubles (X2) the paytable value of any win, including any appearances during the Free spin. Should there be two or more wild cards, the payout on the win will remain the same as the multiplier value of one wild card.
Note: 2 or more wild card icons being part of a win does not further increase the bonus payout. Example: Any 2 win Icons and 2 wild icons consecutive (left to right) on a win line would create a payout for 4 of the "non wild" icons that created the win, plus a x2 wild win bonus.
