How To Play
- Press 'Play' to start the game.
- The reels will spin and eventually stop at random.
- If the combination of symbols appearing on the reels forms a line of 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on one of the lines you selected to play, you win. Any winning lines you have will be highlighted and your winnings will be credited to your account balance.
Simple Instructions
- Press the 'Stake Up' and 'Stake Down' buttons to choose a stake per line between 2p/c and £/€10.
- Press the 'Select Lines' button to choose how many lines (1 to 20) you would like to play. Your selected stake per line will be multiplied by the number of lines you choose to play.
- The total amount you have staked will be shown in the TOTAL STAKE box at the bottom right of the screen.
- A maximum of £/€200 total bet can be placed on any one game.
- Click on the 'Paytable' button to view the paytable, which shows the potential winnings for each reel combination, scatters, bonuses etc.
Plutonium and Wormholes
The bonus symbol for this game is the wormhole symbol which will take you to the next bonus round and the next stage in time. The wormhole symbol is a scatter symbol so it doesn't have to appear in a line to be a win. The wormhole symbols are only placed on the middle 3 reels. The wormhole symbol will only move on to the next bonus round if the plutonium levels are full. To fill up the plutonium levels, you will need to win plutonium scatter symbols on the reels first. The amount of plutonium you have is shown on the meter on the left where each plutonium symbol will fill 1 of the 10 slots available. You can get up to 5 plutonium symbols in one spin but they must have at least 3 for it to contribute towards the plutonium meter. When the plutonium level is at the maximum (the border will turn green at this point) then you can travel to the next bonus as soon as you get the 3 wormhole scatter symbols.
After each bonus round, the plutonium meter is set back to 0 again and you will have to spin more plutonium in order to activate the wormholes again. There is no win for wormhole symbols - only entry in to the bonus game. The plutonium symbols do give a win so you will still win something even if the plutonium meter is full.
Artefacts and the Inventory
The inventory is shown on the right (the opposite side to the plutonium meter explained above). After each bonus round (except the last one), you will be given a choice to pick 1 of 3 artefacts to bring with you for the rest of the game. The artefacts that the player has collected will be shown in the inventory panel.
At the end of the game the player will go to an auction bonus round where they will auction off the items they have collected for an additional reward.
Pick an artefact at the end of each bonus round and it will appear in your inventory shortly after.

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.
Is the game fair?
The game is a game 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 number 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.
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!
What is the minimum/maximum I can bet?
£0.02/€0.02 is the smallest bet that you can place on any one outcome. The maximum bet you can place is £/€500 (£/€25 x 20 lines). Of course, the maximum amount you are allowed to stake within this framework will ultimately be dictated by the available funds that you have in your account at the 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.
