how the cabinet plays

Game rules

Five reels, three rows, five paylines. Match three or more of the same symbol from the leftmost reel along a payline and the points hit your counter. None of those points are money — they are just numbers attached to your session.

Symbols on the reels

Five symbols, weighted so the cheap ones land more often than the expensive ones. None of them are wilds. There are no scatters, no bonus tiles, and no second-screen mini-game. What you see is what you get.

Hard hat — top symbol
hard hat top symbol · scarce on the strip ×3 — 6 stake · ×4 — 18 stake · ×5 — 60 stake
Blueprint roll
blueprint mid-tier · arrives more often than the hat ×3 — 4 stake · ×4 — 12 stake · ×5 — 40 stake
Brick
brick workhorse symbol · steady appearance rate ×3 — 3 stake · ×4 — 9 stake · ×5 — 30 stake
Wrench
wrench low-tier · shows up regularly ×3 — 2.5 stake · ×4 — 7.5 stake · ×5 — 25 stake
Traffic cone
cone most common · the filler symbol ×3 — 2 stake · ×4 — 6 stake · ×5 — 20 stake

The numbers above are multipliers of the current stake. So if you are playing at stake 10 and you land five hard hats on a single line, the cabinet pays 600 points. Twenty cones across pays 200. Anything less than three of a kind pays nothing.

Five paylines, no extras

Three rows across the cabinet, plus the two diagonals. That is the full set. We did not add fifty zigzag lines because that is how operators inflate the apparent hit-rate while keeping payouts the same. The math here is honest. You can read it in a sentence.

top row

Five top-row windows, left to right. The most common payline because the eye reads it first.

middle row

The classic centre line. Counts the same as any other — no built-in bonus for picking this one over the top or bottom.

bottom row

The lowest horizontal. Same rules, same payouts, just at the foot of the cabinet.

V-line

Top → middle → bottom → middle → top. A shallow V across the cabinet. Diagonals tend to feel more rewarding when they hit, but the payout table treats them the same.

^-line

The mirror of the V — bottom corners up to the middle and back down. Same scoring, different visual hit.

The full rule sheet

  1. Reels evaluate left to right. A win must start on reel one. Three of a kind on reels three, four, and five — without a match on reel one — counts as nothing.
  2. Three or more on a single line wins. Two of a kind pays nothing, no matter how loud the symbol is.
  3. Highest line only. If two paylines hit at the same time, the cabinet pays the higher of the two and ignores the other. There is no stacking, no combining, no bonus for sweeping multiple lines.
  4. Stake sets the multiplier. Each payout in the symbol table is a multiplier of your current stake. Larger stakes risk more points per spin and pay proportionally more on a hit.
  5. Bank starts at 1000 points. Every fresh page load reboots the bank to a thousand. Hitting the reset button does the same thing without reloading. Points do not carry between sessions.
  6. No real money. None. Points cannot be cashed out, traded, or exchanged for prizes. The cabinet is a social entertainment object that happens to look like a slot. Eighteen and over only.
  7. Stop when you stop having fun. See the play-smart page for the longer version.
