Case series / L–03 & L–04

Substitute or trigger?

The symbols W and S have different jobs under Specimen L's invented rules. A known eligibility condition is not the same thing as a known award.

L–03 / W on the top line

Substitution · no feature
01 / stated

On an active line in Specimen L, W can stand for A or B. Three A pay 5 credits per credit bet on that line. Top and middle are active; each has 2 credits bet.

02 / arrangement

Top: A W A

W is in the middle of the active top line
RowReel 1Reel 2Reel 3
TopAWA
MiddleB·B
Bottom···

A, B = letter symbols; W = stated substitute; · = blank symbol. Underlined cells are on the top line.

03 / test

Apply only the stated substitution

A W A counts as A A A on the top line because L explicitly permits W to stand for A. Middle B · B is not a listed three-symbol award. No S appears.

04 / outcomeQualifies

5 × 2 line-credits = 10 credits = AUD $0.10 gross prize.

Total stake: 2 lines × 2 credits × $0.01 = $0.04. Net difference: +$0.06.

The W rule belongs to L; it cannot be lent to the incomplete W case in Specimen W.

L–04 / Three S, award missing

Trigger established · amount unknown
01 / stated

Three S anywhere in Specimen L's nine positions trigger a feature. S is not a line substitute. The rule sheet says nothing about what the feature awards.

02 / arrangement

Three different rows

S symbols occur once on each reel

TopSBA
MiddleASB
BottomBAS

S = feature-trigger symbol, not an A or B substitute. A and B are letter symbols. Marked cells show all three S positions.

03 / test

Trigger, but no line award

Exactly three S are displayed, so the stated feature condition is met. The active top (S B A) and middle (A S B) rows contain no listed line win. S cannot complete A or B here.

04 / outcomeAward not determined

The feature triggers; its award is not specified. Known line prize is 0 credits, but the full gross prize and net difference are not determined. The 4-credit stake is AUD $0.04.

Nothing here says the feature gives free spins, a fixed prize or any particular return.
