On the Extreme reels you have to purchase the 4th reel multiplier and then double that to purchase the 5th reel. With pennies the 4th reel is a dollar and the 5th wheel turns it into another dollar. It becomes a 2 dollar a spin game to just play all the properly.
Now that I think about it maybe Zeus and Brazilian Beauty has to be played properly to activate all the software program. Gee, I wish they came with better instructions so I didn't get so confused.

Hi Flower:
There is no secret to slot play. You get what you pay for. However, I always advocate playing all lines at a denomination you are comfortable with. Personally, I am happy with a 45-cent to $1.00 total bet per spin.
For me, I can really only afford to play the 1-cent "Wrap Around Pays". At a $1 a spin, that is toward my upper limit. I'm not saying I wouldn't play a 2-cent machine, but I would only earmark a $20 -- and that's it. The way I look at it -- I will be able to play a 2-cent machine (roughly) half as long as a 1-cent machine. Because the lines are shared, the game has a built-in tendency to exagerate wins and losses. So -- it is realistic to expect a $150 win on a $1 total bet on this machine. It happens all the time. I'm happy with that payout.
