– UPDATES –
When you get a win with a Mask substituting it displays ***PHANTOM PAY*** on the screen. The asterisks are removed on the later versions.
– SCORING –
All pays are left to right, except scattered Roses which pay any.
Masks appear in reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitute for all symbols in all positions of that reel, and in one position for scattered Roses.

– TIPS AND TRICKS –
If you get a win with the Mask and there is also the same symbol on a line you get the win twice for the same reel position. For instance if you spin up 3 Jacks playing 1 line and there is also the Mask symbol on reel 3, it will give you the 3x Jack win, and the 3x Jack win with the substitute.
Double Up Feature : When a win comes up, you are given the chance to bet on the credits you’ve just won.
If you select the right colour (Red or Black), your win is doubled. If you select the wrong item, you lose the gamble and it goes back to the main game.
You can take a win at any time, but if you win 5 times in the one gamble feature, the game ends automatically. You can’t gamble more than $10,000 however (but, would you?!).
If you win a progressive jackpot on the machine, you can’t gamble the win, even if you actually won credits on the same spin the jackpot went off.
