To play the game:

The number of paylines is fixed. Wins can form on any payline.
For information on paylines, click Info and go to the Paylines page.
Choose your bet by clicking + and – below the Line Bet field.
There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows how much is being bet in total on a single spin. Payouts shown in the paytable (on the Payouts screen) are multiplied by the line bet.
Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current bet.

Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Your win will equal your bet multiplied by the corresponding value according to the paytable.
On a given payline, only the highest payline winning combination pays. Simultaneous winnings on different paylines are accumulated.
In the case of a winning spin, the Win field will count up the accumulated winnings. This can be stopped by clicking anywhere on the screen to display the total win amount immediately.

In the event of a communication error after a progressive win result has been determined and before it has been displayed on screen, the win amount will automatically be transferred to the player’s account.
In the event of the jackpot being won, other players playing the game simultaneously will be informed of the new jackpot value. This is only relevant if the jackpot display on the other players’ games has not been updated to the new value yet.
Whilst the game is live the jackpot can only be terminated if the value of the jackpot is zero. If the game is removed the outstanding pool amount can be transferred to another jackpot or retained by the operator.
Players’ bets contribute to the progressive Jackpot only when playing for real money.
The Jackpot in the game is progressive that is accumulated by all Casinos offering the Monty Python’s The Life Of Brian game. A small percentage of each bet is added to a common pot. The greater part of this contribution is used to form the progressive jackpot amount, and the other, smaller part, contributes to a seed, which is the minimum amount of money guaranteed to be won by players of the game.
The Progressive Jackpot works as follows:
Seed (how much money the Progressive Jackpot starts with):
EUR 20,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies)
Average contribution rate (what average percentage of each bet goes into the Progressive Jackpot):
1.08% (0.04% to progressive pot and 1.04% to seed pot)
Win requirements (what you need to do to qualify for the Progressive Jackpot):
Play the Monty Python’s The Life Of Brian game.
Note: In case 2 players win the Progressive Jackpot at the same time, the 1st player will be awarded the seed and the progressive part, and the 2nd one will win the seed together with any possibly accumulated progressive part for the time between the winning of the Progressive Jackpot by the 1st and the 2nd player.
If the Jackpot is being discontinued (the game is closed and removed from the Casino), you will be notified about it by the Casino.
Return to Player
The theoretical percentage return to player (RTP) is 92.92% without the jackpot, and 94.00% with the jackpot.
