So then is that a 3 cent spin? What are the lines if I am playing '5 lines' - what is the number of total possible 'lines' on that 3 by 5 grid and how do they go?

If you are playing '3 lines' is that just the three rows straight across. I know you have diagonals but how do you define them. When you are playing 'all lines' what exactly does that mean using this grid where you have 15 pictures - 5 across and 3 high. OK - maybe I just need some basic video slot explanation. Anyone have a link to an explanation of how the game works? I know I am not going to really be making any decisions that impact the game - but I get nothing out of it when I have no idea what I even 'want' to happen - or no idea why I 'won' when it gives me some credits back. I don't have a big desire to learn how to play slots in general - but some of these video game ones like Star Trek or Wheel of Fortune look like they might be fun distractions. OK - I am obviously not a slot player and I don't want this to sound condescending. There is also something about earning medals? What is that about? I know from the little bit of watching that sometimes you get to go through videos and do other things but that never happened to me.

Well in less than 10 minutes my $20 was gone and I still had no idea how the game worked.

Where does that come from and what exactly does '5 lines' mean? Sometimes I would get credits back - but never fully even figured out why it was betting the number of credits it was (I hit the button for '5 lines' and that caused a 35 credit (35 cents) bet for that 'spin'. So I started hitting buttons and it would show me some pictures and lines.

I thought if I played a little bit I would figure it out - it was only a penny machine so how much could I lose? So was in a casino Saturday and saw one empty and stuck in $20 just to see. I watched somebody play for a little while in a casino once but did not want to hover and could not really figure it out. Wanted to try these slots out because it looked like it might be fun. I am a Star Trek fan but not a slot player. Is there anyone out there who can give me a good explanation of how these work - or maybe a website where you could play for free just to understand the game?
