Pokie Feature Information Checklist

Start with the information on the selected machine

Use the details currently displayed for the particular machine rather than assuming that familiar symbols or feature names work in the same way elsewhere. Individual machines can vary, so check each screen, information panel and paytable available before making a selection.

Begin by identifying the displayed denomination, number of lines or equivalent selection, credits per line and total credit cost. Read these values together. The total cost can depend on the selected lines and credits, and changing one setting may change the amount shown for the next play.

Check the bet display

• Denomination: Note the displayed value assigned to each credit.
• Line selection: Check how many lines or equivalent combinations are active.
• Credits: Identify whether the screen shows credits per line, total credits or another clearly labelled value.
• Total cost: Confirm the final amount displayed after all selections have been made.

If any figure is unclear, pause and inspect the available information screens. Do not calculate the cost from one value alone when the machine displays a separate total.

Read the feature conditions carefully

Locate the section that explains how the named feature is triggered. Check whether it refers to particular symbols, positions, combinations, selections or other displayed conditions. Record the wording as it appears instead of relying on the feature name alone.

Then check what the machine says happens after the trigger. Look for any displayed choices, limits, additional conditions or changes to the current selections. If the explanation is spread across multiple screens, read each relevant panel before continuing.

Inspect symbols and paytable details

Match each symbol to its current description and displayed value. Pay attention to symbols that have a separate function, substitute for another symbol or apply only under stated conditions. Similar-looking symbols should not be treated as interchangeable unless the current information says so.

Check whether displayed outcomes depend on direction, order, position, line selection or another stated rule. Use the paytable and feature information together so that a symbol description is not read without its associated conditions.

Complete a final check

1. Confirm the selected denomination and credit settings.
2. Confirm the displayed total credit cost.
3. Read the exact trigger conditions for the named feature.
4. Check what each relevant symbol does.
5. Note any choices, limits or conditions shown on later screens.
6. Recheck the display after changing any selection.

This process is intended to keep attention on the information visible for the selected machine. If a detail is missing or ambiguous, avoid filling the gap with assumptions and check the current display again.
