Game Play

Press the 'Stake Up' and 'Stake Down' buttons to choose a stake per play between 0.50c/p and €/£25.

As you change the stake, the paytable on the left will be updated to reflect the stake currently selected.

The total amount you have staked will be shown in the STAKE box at the bottom right of the screen.

Press 'Play' to start the game.

Blocks will start to fall in the game play grid and the computer will automatically place them to the left or right to simulate a real player positioning the blocks. The blocks will only be moved left to right - they will not be turned.

If any block completes one or more rows with no gaps left remaining, you win.

Any winning lines you have will be highlighted on the paytable and your winnings will be credited to your account balance.

Up to 4 rows can be completed at one time, and the payouts increase for 2, 3, or 4 rows (ie. double, triple or quadruple win).

It is possible for one block to create multiple wins. In this case the payout is awarded for the lines separately and not cumulatively.

Clearing Rows

When a row is completed, it will be cleared from the grid. Note that when a completed row has been cleared from the grid, if there are other blocks already on top of that row, those other blocks will drop down to fill the space just cleared. Please note that the blocks will only drop by the number of rows cleared and any gaps in lower rows will not be filled by this process - so some blocks may appear to 'hover' in mid-air as a result.

End Of Game

As soon as a block that lands that cannot fit wholly within the grid, the game will end.

Free Plays

If one or more rows are completed featuring a Magic Block, the game will award 10 Free Plays. Once the current play is finished, the game will automatically enter Free Plays mode - the screen background colour will change and a message will flash up saying "10 Free Plays" to indicate this.
Only one award of 10 free plays can be awarded for any one Magic Block.
All wins during Free Plays mode are doubled. The wins displayed on the paytable will not change, but as your winnings are added to the WINNINGS box in the bottom right corner, the doubled amount is added automatically.
Free Plays can be re-triggered during Free Plays mode, so you could be awarded another 10 Free Plays.
All your winnings during Free Plays mode will be credited to your account balance after each play. A message summarising all your Free Plays winnings will be displayed after all Free Plays are completed.

Auto Play

By selecting 'Auto Play' you can choose to play up to 25 plays automatically, one after the other.
Select your stake as normal then press the 'Auto Play' button to select the number of 'Auto Play' bets you want before clicking the 'Play' button.
After each play, the number of plays remaining will be displayed. You can stop Auto Play from continuing onto the next game by pressing the 'Stop Auto-Play' button, which turns it off and resets the number of Plays back to 1.
f you win Free Plays while playing in AutoPlay mode, the game will automatically enter Free Plays mode and then any remaining Auto Plays will be resumed once all Free Plays have been completed.

Slotblox - FAQ

Who am I betting with?

You are betting with Paddy Power bookmaker. We are the bookmaker laying the odds for you, the punter, to take. If you lose your bet, we keep your money. If you win your bet, we pay you your winnings.

Can I try the game for free?

Yes. There is an option whereby you can play for fun, and this is well worth doing if you wish to develop a feel for the game before depositing your hard earned cash!

Is Slotblox fair?

The game is a involving fixed odds and you are just as likely to win in any one game as you are in any other. Each game and each result is generated in isolation. Therefore if you have won money on the last five games there is nothing to say you will be less likely to win on the next just because you are on a winning streak.

What is the minimum/maximum I can bet?

£0.50/€0.50 is the minimum bet you can place. The maximum bet you can place is £25/€25 per spin. Of course the maximum amount you are allowed to stake within this framework will ultimately be dictated by how much funds are available in your account at any one time.

The game does not download load properly. Why is this?

This problem can be broken down into two more specific complaints, which are as follows:

1. The game is not displaying properly - This will be due to your screen resolution being too small. The game works on a minimum screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. To change your screen resolution simply go to your desktop and click on the right-hand mouse button. A menu will pop up and you will need to select 'Properties'. Another box will pop up and you will need to select 'Settings' from the tabs running along the top of the box. From here you will be able to alter your screen resolution.

2. The game is simply not working at all - This may be because you need to download the latest version of Flash Player. After loading the game, you will have received a screen prompt asking you whether you wanted to download the latest version of Flash Player. Downloading this will ensure that you will be able to play the game without any problems. If you ignored or switched the prompt off, you can go to the Macromedia website and download Flash Player from there.

The game seems to be running very slowly. It there anything I can do about this?

Unfortunately not. Our game relies upon your machine, and will run as quickly or slowly as your machine allows. Other than upgrading your computer and its facilities, there is little that can be done with regards to improving the speed of the game on any one machine.
