Case series / L–01 & L–02

Does the route count?

The same three letters can sit on a paying line or across an excluded diagonal. First locate the route; only then apply the award.

L–01 / A on the top line

One qualifying line · no feature
01 / stated

In Specimen L, three A on an active line pay 5 credits per credit bet on that line. The top and middle horizontal rows are active; a line receives 2 credits.

02 / arrangement

Top row: A A A

Three reels, shown by row
RowReel 1Reel 2Reel 3
TopAAA
MiddleB·A
Bottom·B·

A, B = letter symbols; · = blank symbol. The underline indicates the tested top row, not a third active line.

03 / test

Only the top qualifies

Top: A A A, left to right, on an active line. Middle: B · A, no listed three-of-a-kind. There are no S symbols, so no feature trigger.

04 / outcomeQualifies

5 credits per line-credit × 2 credits on the top line = 10 credits = AUD $0.10 gross prize.

Total stake is 2 lines × 2 credits × $0.01 = $0.04; net difference is +$0.06. The line award was not multiplied by the whole stake.

L–02 / A across a diagonal

No qualifying line · no feature
01 / stated

Under the same L rule sheet, only the top and middle horizontal rows are active. A diagonal crossing top, middle and bottom is not an eligible line.

02 / arrangement

A, then A, then A — but where?

Diagonal A symbols are marked; position matters

A and B are letter symbols. Marked cells run diagonally from top left to bottom right; this is not an active route.

03 / test

Count only active rows

Top: A B B. Middle: B A B. Neither has three A or three B. The diagonal A A A does not qualify; the bottom row is not active. No S occurs.

04 / outcomeNo listed win

Gross prize: 0 credits = AUD $0.00. Total stake: 4 credits = $0.04. Net difference: −$0.04.

Three matching letters anywhere is not the eligibility test in L.
