Playing a Slot
Every slot has the same core controls, even when the theme changes. The CREDIT box shows your balance, LINES shows how many paylines are live, and BET is your stake per line. The number that actually matters is the product of the last two: lines times bet is your true cost per spin. On Book of Fruits, five lines at R0.50 means R2.50 a spin, not R0.50 — a distinction that catches out players who only watch the BET box. Read both before you tap SPIN, the big yellow arrow on the right.
The shortcuts are where care pays off. MAX BET leaps to the top stake in one tap (R15.00 a line in Book of Fruits), and AUTO spins repeatedly at your chosen level without you pressing anything — both are convenient and both burn through credit fast. Start at the minimum to learn a game’s rhythm, check the paytable behind the ? icon, and do the simple sum: R86.65 in credit at R2.50 a spin is about 34 spins, enough to reach Book of Fruits’ free-spins bonus, which triggers on 3 or more Book symbols anywhere on the reels.
If you understand why those spins land the way they do, the controls make more sense — read how online slots work and RTP and volatility. To start another game, Back To List returns you to the lobby with your session intact.
Place it on Scorebet, step by step
- 1Check credit and lines
Your balance is in the CREDIT box, bottom left (e.g. R86.65). The LINES box shows active paylines — all 5 are on by default in Book of Fruits. More lines means more ways to win but a higher cost per spin.
- 2Set your bet
The BET box is the amount per line per spin (e.g. R0.50). Use the -BET and +BET buttons to adjust. Total spin cost is lines times bet, so 5 lines at R0.50 is R2.50.
- 3Spin the reels
Click the large circular SPIN button — the yellow rotating arrow on the right. The reels spin and stop, and any wins are highlighted and credited automatically. MAX BET jumps to the top stake (R15.00 a line), so use it with care.
- 4Use auto and chase the bonus
Tap AUTO to set a number of automatic spins at your chosen stake. In Book of Fruits, landing 3 or more Book symbols anywhere triggers 10 free bonus spins.
Start at the minimum. Spin at R0.50 a line first to learn a game's rhythm before raising your stake. The paytable, the ? icon top-right, lists every winning combination.
Do the maths on your credit. With R86.65 in credit and a R2.50 spin cost, you've got roughly 34 spins — plenty of room to reach the bonus feature without overspending.
Frequently asked
How is the cost of a slot spin worked out?
Your total spin cost is lines multiplied by bet. In Book of Fruits, five active lines at R0.50 a line makes R2.50 a spin. Raising either the number of lines or the per-line bet raises the total, so always read both boxes before you spin.
What does MAX BET do on a slot?
MAX BET jumps your stake straight to the highest allowed per line — R15.00 in Book of Fruits. It's a single tap, so use it carefully: it dramatically increases your spend per spin compared with the minimum.
Does playing fewer lines change your odds of hitting the bonus?
On most slots the Book or scatter that triggers free spins lands anywhere on the reels, not on a payline, so dropping lines does not reduce your chance of the bonus — but it does reduce the lines that pay during normal spins. Cutting lines just to stretch credit means you can land a winning combo on a line you switched off and collect nothing for it. Read the paytable before you turn lines off.
Why does the same total stake pay differently across lines versus bet-per-line?
Five lines at R0.50 and one line at R2.50 both cost R2.50, but they are not the same bet. Spreading across five lines gives you five chances to hit a paying combination each spin, where one line gives you one. The single-line version produces rarer, chunkier wins; the multi-line version produces more frequent, smaller ones — same long-run return, very different ride.
