Slot Math Question

[TZtech]

Hello All

Am developing a simulation for reel games (Specifically IGT S+) with excel - My slot math has become a bit rusty so brushing up on this as well.

Here is an extract from a Typical IGT PAR sheet - In this case SS8478.
My question is this - If we have 32 virtual stops on a reel and 1 cherry on each reel why do we get 900 hits (1 *30 * 30) or (30 * 1 * 30) or (30 * 30 *1)
and not (1 *31 * 31) etc etc. What am I missing here ?


|   PAY COMBO    |   # PER REEL   |   HITS     | PULLS/HIT| PAYS   | TOTAL PAY |

| CH XX XX       |  1  31  31     |       900. |       36.|      2.|      1800.|
| XX CH XX       | 31   1  31     |       900. |       36.|      2.|      1800.|
| XX XX CH       | 31  31   1     |       900. |       36.|      2.|      1800.|

They are looking at a cherry hit that pays 2 coins per coin played. So they are deducting the Double Diamond symbol in their calc's.
It is really;

Reel #1  CH

Reel #2 all other symbols except DD

Reel #3 all other symbols except DD

For instance, if there were two virtual Double Diamond symbols per reel than it would be 1* 29 *29 = 841
What are the "O1,O2,O3,U1,U2,U3" ???  Nudge symbols??

Thanks Uniman

Yes of course - Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yep the O's and U's are nudges.
Still need to figure out how to include that functionality in the simulation.

 Change the U or O to the symbol they nudge to. As that is the end result.
