Comet Trail: comets that light a whole reel

About Comet Trail

Five reels, ten lines and a comet that will not stay small. When a comet lands it streaks down its reel, the reel turns wild and the others spin again for free. Every new comet adds another respin, up to three.

The first instrument most visitors try, and the friendliest. The board is a velvet tray of brass tools and glass planets, and the comet is the reason to watch it.

Most rounds return a little or nothing. The bigger totals come from respins, where one comet reel can line up with a second and a third.

How to play

Choose a stake and press Spin. The stake is shared across all ten lines.
Three or more matching symbols on a line, starting from the leftmost reel, return the amount in the pay table.
Comets land only on the three middle reels. A comet fills its whole reel and stands in for every symbol.
Each time a new comet lands, the comet reels hold and the other reels spin again at no cost. The trail ends after three respins or when no new comet appears.

Long-run return is what the game gives back on average over millions of rounds, checked by simulation. Any single evening can land far above or below it.

Pay table

These are the exact numbers the game uses. Every round is drawn fresh by your browser's secure random number generator, and nothing that happened before changes what happens next.

Returns are shown as multiples of your total stake. Each line pays from the leftmost reel.
