The Midnight Jackpot

Quest Slots

Be the first to complete the quest and you'll win the jackpot! All players in the same coin value participate for the same jackpot. See details in Jackpot Quest section.

How to Play

This slot game has 5 reels and 18 paylines.

During regular play the objective is to obtain a winning combination of icons on one or more of the paylines. Payouts for each winning combo are summed to calculate the total win amount for each game round.

Winning combos consist of matching icons in the correct positions on a payline, starting from the first reel on the left and continuing along the payline from left to right. To create a winning combo the matching icons must be on adjacent reels without other icons interrupting the pattern. Only the highest win per payline is paid.

This slot has a fixed bet of 1 coin per payline for a total of 18 coins bet per spin.

You can choose the value of the coins being played by using the arrows on either side of the COIN VALUE display within the game (see Menu Bar section for info).

See the paytable within the game for the payline patterns, the minimum number of icons required to form winning combos as well as the coin payouts for each type of icon.

When you've set your bet amount, click the SPIN button to spin the reels (see Game Buttons section for info).

Wild

Wild symbols starting from the leftmost reel create their own winning combos with payouts as per the paytable.

When the Wild symbol appears anywhere except the leftmost reel, it completes winning combos and multiplies regular winnings for the following icons:

Scatter

With 2 or more Scatter symbols in any position on the reels, your bet amount will be multiplied to calculate your scatter win:

2 symbols = x5
3 symbols = x15
4 symbols = x50
5 symbols = x100

Scatter win is added to any regular winnings in the spin in which the scatter was activated.

Free Spins

With 2 or more Free Spin symbols in any position on the reels, you'll be awarded free spins:

2 symbols = 5 free spins
3 symbols = 15 free spins
4 symbols = 50 free spins
5 symbols = 100 free spins

Clicking the SPIN button (see Game Buttons section for info) will play out your free spins automatically.

The coin value cannot be changed during free spins. If the game is closed before the free spins have been played out, the next time any game is opened your unfinished free spins will be loaded and you will be required to play them out before proceeding to any other game.

The number of free spins remaining and the total amount won overall is displayed within the game. This amount is shown purely for your information as individual winnings are credited to your balance after each free spin.

If additional free spins are won, the game stops and the new free spins are added to the free spins you have remaining. By clicking the SPIN button, free spins will continue and will be played out automatically.

If a game feature such as a bonus game is activated, the feature will interrupt the free spins. When you've finished playing out the game feature, your remaining free spins can be continued by clicking the SPIN button.

Jackpot Quest

The first player to finish the quest wins the jackpot!

Your goal is to reach midnight before the other players in a race against time.

All players using the same coin value are competing in the same quest for the jackpot.

When the Hourglass symbol appears on the center reel, you'll move closer to midnight:



The Hourglass symbol will move your clock counter from 15 to 60 minutes forward each time it appears:



A progress report of all participating players can be viewed using the following button:





Click anywhere outside the panel to close the user list and return to the game.

The first player to reach midnight finishes the quest and wins the jackpot.

The jackpot win is added to any regular winnings in the spin in which midnight is reached.

At the end of each quest, all clock counters get set to zero, the jackpot gets reset and a new quest begins!

Jackpot Balance Management

The jackpot in this game is incremented with 2.00% of every bet placed.

Each coin value has its own separate jackpot and increments are allocated based on the coin value being played.

When the jackpot balance increases or decreases, there can be a delay of up to 30 seconds in displaying the updated jackpot amount in the game. In the extremely rare case that the same jackpot is won twice within this brief period of time, the first jackpot win in chronological order will be paid out based on the jackpot balance at the time of the win and the second payout will be based on the remaining jackpot balance. If the first jackpot payout causes the jackpot balance to be reset, this will occur before the second payout is processed.

Because the timing of game events is tracked with finite precision, simultaneous jackpot wins are not technically possible. There will always be a chronological first and second jackpot winner, the first payout being based on the jackpot balance at the time of the win and the second being based on the remaining jackpot balance or the newly reset jackpot balance, if the first win caused the jackpot to be reset.

Jackpot payouts are always based on the latest jackpot balance stored on the remote game server at the time of the jackpot win. Through continued technical optimization, all efforts are made to ensure the smallest possible delay in the balance updates from the remote server to the display of the game on the end user's device.
