GENERAL INFORMATION All of our slot machines accept notes of legal tender ( ), and with our exclusive CashLess system, they also accept Btitos (special barcode tickets). To play, simply insert the bill, ticket or coin into the indicated slot. OUR SLOTS RETURN AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN 94% OF THE MONEY BET CREDITS When a token or bill is inserted into the machine, the value of the amount inserted in the machine will accumulate in credits according to the minimum price of the bet. We have slot machines set for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, as well as 1 and 2 euros. Moreover, the machines allow you to accumulate small prizes for use in subsequent bets, rather than collecting them directly. This enables you to continue to play without having to re-insert the tokens or bills. You may walk away from the machine at any time, recovering any unplayed credits, by pressing the Credits/Payments button. The major prizes automatically block the machine. In those cases, the prizes are manually paid out by our staff. 4

This system runs on barcode tickets that are printed by the machine itself, and can be used on all the other machines. THIS NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM ENABLES YOU TO PLAY AND COLLECT YOUR PRIZES WITHOUT USING COINS The tickets may be cashed in at the cash desk or the automatic teller machines. What s more, they can be inserted into other slot machines, so you can continue to play. 5

ADVICE AND GAME STRATEGIES The machines will directly pay out up to a certain amount. Once that amount is exceeded, for example in the case of a jackpot, you will need to wait by the machine and our staff will assist you. The Mystery Terminal, where you can consult the latest prizes won on each machine. This guide does not include all the slot machine rules. For further information or assistance, please contact our staff. Below are several tips to help you enjoy your gaming sessions even more. Hence, before you start any game, it is important to manage your gambling budget appropriately and to save part or all of your profits. Always gamble within your limits. Never spend more than you can afford. This piece of advice is crucial for your total satisfaction when gambling. To enjoy the different types of slot machines at the Casino, you will need to know the features of each one. Below, we offer you a number of tips: The Progressive Jackpot machines (individual or carousel) offer an additional percentage designed to increase the jackpot. To win it, you must play the highest bet. Where possible, it is more advisable to bet with several coins on a lower-bet machine than to use a single coin on a higherbet machine. Compare the different payout schedules. If you wish to play for longer, an extensive payout schedule will give you smaller yet more frequent prizes. Conversely, a short payout schedule will give you larger prizes, though less frequently. 8
When playing Poker, you need to know your cards and try not to discard, for example, three cards in a royal flush in exchange for a lower pair. Once you have a flush, a full house or a straight, do not discard in hopes of a higher combination. When playing Poker with jokers, the prizes are smaller but more frequent. Choose the machine with the payout schedule that best meets your expectations. Gambling is no longer fun when it becomes an addiction.

The Ace can be used as both the highest card and the lowest card. The button panel on this type of machine features two additional buttons: 1*.

If you are playing with more than one deck, the cards you hold in the lower deck will be held in the rest.
