ABOUT 2X CHERRIES
About Easter Slots

Easter Slots is part of a series of seasonal/holiday slot games published by Ultisoft, Inc.  Halloween, New Year, St Patrick, Valentine, and Christmas Slots are also available and others will be released soon.

This is a three payline slot machine game.  Up to three coins can be bet on each spin.  Winnings are based on the symbols on the payline.  A payline is only active if there is a coin bet on it.  There are also several bonus features which make Easter Slots very fun and also adds an element of skill to the game.

The game will detect the number of colors available and will use either True Color (24-bit) graphics or 256 color (8-bit) graphics depending on your graphics card's capabilities.  The game will also adjust to your current resolution and will take up the full screen.

Bonuses

Holds

Effective use of holds is the key to beating this game.  You can spend a hold by clicking the flashing "Hold" box above and of the three slot reels.  You can only hold a real if you have collected one or more holds and if the last spin was a losing spin.  You cannot hold any reel after a winning spin.

When you hold a reel, that held reel will not spin/change during the next spin.  Use holds to increase you chance for a winning payline, or to help you get to the bonus game.  For example if you hold a reel with a "3" on it, you will add three points to the candy stick on your next spin.

Below is an example of a slot symbol which earns you a HOLD.  It has an "H" on it.

Acey-Ducey Game

There is a bonus game in Easter Slots.  You get to the bonus game when the bonus line on the right side of the game screen becomes fully lit.  You light the 12 parts of the time line by collecting points which appear on some of the slot symbols.  These range from one to three points.  For every point collected, another hour on the time line is lit.  Below is an example of a slot symbol with bonus points on it.

You lose all your collected points if you get a slot symbol with an "X" on it (see below).  When this happens, your bonus bar will become completely unlit, and you must start over in your efforts to go to the bonus game.

Play Acey-Ducey

ParagraphThis is a card game in which you decide to bet if you believe that the next card drawn will be between two cards already showing.  The third card must be between the two cards--not equal to either of them.  If the third card is between the other cards, then your winnings are doubled, otherwise you lose your winnings.

An ACE has a value of 1 and a KING has a value of 13.

You get 5 "Skips" each time you go to the bonus screen.  This allows you to continue playing the bonus game without having to play the current cards.  For example, if a QUEEN and a KING were showing, it would be imposible to win because there are no cards with a value between these two cards.  Press the SKIP button, and you will get two new cards to play.  You can skip until you are out of SKIPS.

You can continue to play the bonus game until you lose.  You can quit at any time by hitting the OK button.


Loading and Saving Games

You can save a game at any time by clicking the SAVE GAME button.  You will be able to name your game anything you like up to 30 characters.

You can then load any of your saved games by clicking the LOAD GAME button.

Your current game is saved automatically when you exit the game.  When you run the game later, your last game will be loaded automatically.
