I don't know if this is a bug or intended, but I thought to post it here anyway. I have noted the requirements for winning prizes in the Jamboree, and for the most part I seem to get lucky, however I have noticed that single/double slot rewards do not cash out all the time. I have also noted the reason for this (or at least that I can devise anyway). It seems that if you get two gold trophies, or a gem(s), if they aren't in the first slots, I don't get anything at all.

Lemme try to explain a little better via scenario.

Spin slots.
Get Stave, Jinxie, and a trophy.
Stave lights up. Receive 1g for trophy.
Spin slots again.
Get gold trophy, gold trophy, and a stave.
Get 80g and stave lights up.
Spin again.
Get gold trophy, stave reset, gold trophy.
Get 2g.
Spin again.
Get stave reset, gem, and Jinxie.
Get no winner.
Spin again.
Get gem, stave, and stave reset.
Get 20g and stave lights up.

Now looking at this, one should hopefully already see discrepancies? Gems should cash out 20g, but because it was in the second slot, I get nothing. If it is in the first slot, I get the gold, but not if it is in any of the other slots (that I've seen). The same holds true for trophies. If you pull two silver/gold trophies in the first and second slots, you get the prize for it. If, however, I were to spin a gold trophy, any other thing that isn't a gold trophy, and a gold trophy, I don't get the prize money for two gold trophies. Nor do I get the prize if I spin anything other than silver/gold trophy then two silver/gold (same color trophy in both slots) in the second and third slots. Typically one would get the prize money for being lucky enough to even get those two/three together in the first place on a single line, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Is it meant to be this way, or is this a bug?

Same thing occurs for me. I don't think it's a bug though.

I'm not 100% certain but I think this is how real slot machines work as well. That first slot is pretty much the most important thing.

But then, wouldn't the Bonus Game Jinxies work the same way? It doesn't matter at all where they show up on the line, so long as you have two of them. And with the rarity of everything, especially the gem, I'd kinda like for it to be as Shads suggested, even if it's not a bug. :/

That is working as intended. In order to win the prizes, you must have one in the first slot and have them connected.

However, Jinxie's Bonus can be won by having at least 2 in any position.

Thank you for making sure though

Absolutely! It was just because, having been to casinos and played on many a machine, I know that slots (generally) work on a "whatever is on the rows you paid for" circumstance. So it confused me when I wasn't getting prizes. XD

Thank you very much, Krin, and have a very merry whatever-you-celebrate this year!

Wow I was about to report this (had screenshots and everything!) but then this thread answered my question! Glad I looked first. LoL :-D

Sorry to respond to an old post.

But if this is so, why haven't I gotten the reward for having two of the same trophies in the middle and last spot? They would still be connected, there for the prize should be given.

To win for diamonds or trophies, it has to be in Slot 1 and Slot 2.

Only Jinxies don't matter in order.

Ah, that's what you meant by Jinxies.
Gotacha :)
