The three horizontal patterns
Top, middle and bottom each read one visible space from the left reel, one from the centre and one from the right. Their awards are identical. A matching pair can occupy any two spaces of the selected row; the matching symbols do not need to be adjacent.
You score only the chosen row, even if another row also contains a match. Point to the three spaces before taking coins. The shared board remains available for everyone to check the announced result.
The two full diagonals
The descending diagonal runs from top left through the centre to bottom right. The ascending diagonal runs from bottom left through the centre to top right. Each uses all three columns and exactly three spaces, just like a horizontal pattern.
Bent paths, short diagonals and vertical columns are outside the five-pattern set. A decorative line on an illustration does not create another route to score. The interactive example highlights the precise three spaces whenever you select a pattern.
Choose a result for your collection
A triple earns more immediate coins than a pair, but seals also matter at the finish. A pair in a type you have never collected adds a new two-point variety contribution. Compare the immediate award with your tray before deciding which pattern to announce.
Consider Strike only after selecting the pattern. Its substitution is limited to one space and a symbol already present in that same pattern. Score the result once, then leave all actual reel symbols in place for the following turn.
