Pentagram

Game overview

Pentagram is a three reel, five win line slot machine with a free spins bonus round.

The Jackpot can be won either by lining up three Jackpot symbols or by accumulating wins in the free spins bonus round.

Lining up ‘PENT’, ‘STAR’ and ‘GRAM’ on a win line awards double the bet value plus the free spins bonus round. During the bonus round all wins (including the initiating win and any coincidental wins) are accumulated and the appearance of the ‘STAR’ symbol, anywhere on the middle reel, doubles the running total up to a possible maximum of the Jackpot value.

General information

Random game play

This game is totally random; the odds of getting any particular outcome are always the same and are not based on any other factors or prior outcomes e.g. stake value, previous wins or losses, time of day, account balance etc.

Return to player percentage

The expected return to player (RTP) reflects the theoretical return over a large number of plays. The RTP is expressed as the percentage returned to players in winnings of the total amount staked, e.g. if £1,000,000 was staked and £960,000 was returned, the RTP of the game for that period of play would be 96%.

The expected RTP for this game is no less than 95.20%.

The actual RTP during a playing session can vary widely, in either direction, from the theoretical return.
