Cinerama Slots is perhaps the most well know Playtech Progressive Jackpot game of all. This awesome Slot Game is a 5 Reel 5 payline slots with a wild symbol, a scatter symbol and two very cool Bonus Rounds. Cinerama Slots can be found at any Playtech Casino and promises an exciting time for the novice gambler and the seasoned gambler alike. This game has been around for quite awhile and actually started out as a 3 Reel Progressive Slot Game, but in 2004 it was upgraded to it's present format and it's popularity has steadily grown. With the newer version, there are even more opportunities to win. Progressive Jackpot games are traditionally tied to other participating casinos, whether land based or online. Every time a wager is placed on a progressive jackpot, a small portion of that bet is contributed to the jackpot 'pool'. This is what causes the jackpot to be continuously rising in amount.
When a jackpot is hit at a particular casino, all the casinos' progressive slots game is reset to the starting amount and the jackpot begins to build again. Online casinos such as Playtech Casinos, offer many types of progressives for their players and the jackpot amounts can be staggering. It is not unheard of for these amounts to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and on occasions some have even topped the million dollar mark.
The object of the game is to get a winning combination by spinning the reels. You can activate from one to five paylines to place your bet on. Of course the more paylines you activate, the better your chances of winning. Click Bet max to activate all the paylines, and this will also spin the reels automatically.
There are eleven symbols and hundreds of winning combination possibilites. Each symbol represents a certain payout if you get the certain amount of that symbol lined up on an active payline.The payouts in this game range from 10 credits up to the amount of the jackpot at the time you are playing. We'll break each of these payouts down by symbol from highest to lowest, and give a defined explanation of each.
Wild (Camera)5 on an activated payline with Max Bet wins the jackpot, less than max bet wins 10,000 credits. This Symbol is Wild and will substitute for any of the other Symbols ( except the Headphone and the Director )when completing a winning combination. There are two Wild Symbols available.

Headphone located anywhere on the first reel will activate the first Bonus Round
Director 3 on any active payline will activate the second Bonus Round.
The last two symbols, the Headphone and the Director are Bonus Symbols and you don't win any credits for getting those on any of the paylines. Instead, when you get the Headphone anywhere on the first payline, this triggers the first Bonus Round. In the first Bonus Round you'll be taken to a new screen with several movies listed, pick your favorite and reveal your bonus prize amount. You will then be redirected back to the normal play screen.
In Bonus Round two, when you line up 3 Directors on any active payline, you will be taken to the Bonus Round two screen where you will be asked to choose the cast of the movie, you win a bonus prize according to the cast you selected.
A very wise strategy to use when playing any slot game, but especially a Progressive Jackpot, is to always bet the maximum. The payouts are better for the winning combinations, but more important is that if you are that lucky person that makes that one in a million winning combination for the jackpot, how disappointing it would be if you had be one coin less than the amount to qualify you to be the one to walk away with all that money.
There are many myths surrounding slot machines/games. In fact, everyone has there own belief about the games that defy logic, but seem to work. The truth of the matter is that these are machines that are run by computers. Inside each game or machine is a random number generator that determines the outcome of each spin the split second you push the button to spin the reels. The random number generators are constantly running millions of numbers that correspond to the symbols on the game. What this means to the player is that you have just as good a chance at winning as the person next to you, and that no matter whether this is your first spin or your 100th spin, the chances are the same.
Another myth is that a machine that has just been hit isn't due to be hit again for awhile. The slot game has no memory, it doesn't know that it was just hit so it can not be either hot or cold, and it definately could hit again at any time.
