SLOTS FEATURING WMS GAMING II

We are following up the original Slots featuring WMS Gaming (which released last year) with another slots package highlighted by an entirely different set of authentic bonus video slots from WMS Gaming. Classic WMS slot machines like Top Banana, Hot Toppings, Who Dunnit?, Swingin' in the Green and Boom - which were once only available in casinos - are now available to play right in your own home.

However, that's not all. In addition to a whole different set of authentic casino video slot machines, Slots featuring WMS Gaming II also includes a brand new set of Masque's own unique bonus video slots.

All in all, you'll have hours of fun playing the many different video slot machines, which each have their own bonus rounds and entertaining on-screen features.

They are everywhere, they multiply like rabbits. What's a slot player to do?

No gaming establishment can call itself a trendsetter without the placement of bonus video slots.

For the fascinated, but overwhelmed slot player who needs a scorecard to stay ahead of the latest bonus video slots, there is help at hand....

A few strategy tips to begin are: always check out the secondary jackpots for each version found at the top of the machine or on the pay schedule.

This is important as one bonus version pays more than others and will determine your choice and denomination that fits your wager management plan.

A quick study of the help menu and payline grids will help you determine winning combinations, plus which symbol combos payback the most. You will also find an attractive sprinkling of wild and scatter pay symbols to increase your winnings....

You should always activate all paylines to take advantage of the many wild and scatter symbol combinations - generally 5 or 9 lines.

To stretch your gambling bankroll, start with 1-2 coins per payline. You can then risk a maximum spin occasionally as your credits mount.

Bonus slots provide frequent payouts, usually every 2-5 spins. Then you move on to the moneymaking bonus round when certain scatter pay symbols line up.

Warning: even though bells sound and bonus amounts light up, you should check each payout amount because a 'big deal win' of 30 credits is not truly a win when you bet 45 credits originally.

Move on to another version if this short-pay cycle continues.

Also all features are not available or could be different versions as casinos order their own configurations.

Q: Is Slots featuring WMS Gaming II just an enhanced, updated version of the original Slots featuring WMS Gaming?
A: No, both Slots featuring WMS Gaming titles offer a completely different set of actual casino video bonus slots. Plus, they each contain an entirely unique set of Masque's own video bonus slots.

Q: How do I install and run Slots featuring WMS Gaming II on my Macintosh?
A: To Install the CD:

 • Insert the disk in the drive.
 • An alias will appear on your desktop that looks like a CD. It is labeled "Slots featuring WMS II". Open that alias.
 • You will see an alias labeled "Slots featuring WMS gaming II" and one labeled "Applications".
 • Left click on the slots alias and don't release the mouse button. Move that slots alias to the Applications alias and release the mouse button.

Q: I have installed Slots featuring WMS Gaming II on my computer with no problem. However, when I choose a machine and click OK, I get this error message:

Unable to load Suitcase: Slotsol/mvs2coma.sui, value 0
If I have Slots featuring WMS Gaming and play with no problems, why am I having trouble with Slots featuring WMS Gaming II?
A: Start up the Slots featuring WMS Gaming and then go to any slot machine. Click on the Game button and then click on Preferences. Put a dot in front of 800 X 600 and click OK. Answer yes if your computer asks you if you want to keep that setting. Click on the Game button and then click OK.
Now, start up Slots featuring WMS Gaming II. It should run without problems.
