The plainest stagecraft in the repertoire. Lines are read from the leftmost reel, three or more scatters begin free spins, and nothing else happens. What lands is what you get.
A straight play: lines, scatters and no tricks
A Straight Play production reads every spin along its fixed lines, starting at the leftmost reel. Three, four or five matching symbols in a row on one line earn that symbol’s award.
The wild can take any part except the scatter. When a line could be counted as wilds alone or as wilds joined to another symbol, only the more valuable reading is paid. Scatters pay wherever they fall, and three or more begin free spins at ordinary values.
A worked example. Three tin lanterns from the left on one line pay the three-symbol award. If a fourth lantern follows on reel four, the line pays the four-symbol award in its place, not both together.
