4.6 Gamble Artwork Standard

4.6.1

The following specifications apply to all games which provide a gamble option. The most
common use is for "Double-up" where a multiplier of two (2) is sought but also may apply to
other multipliers (e.g. Triple-up) or a selection of multipliers.

Limits

4.6.2

The gamble prize limit (if applicable) for a particular game and the maximum number of
gambles available must be clearly stated. Note that if wording indicating the maximum prize that
can be won exists, then it must be possible to win this prize.

Automatic Exit

4.6.3

When the gamble option is exited automatically before reaching the maximum number of
gambles available, the reason must be clearly displayed.

References

4.6.4

All references to gamble must use words, e.g. "gamble" or "double up" which cannot be
misinterpreted to indicate some other feature.

Conditions

4.6.5

Unusual conditions in which the gamble option cannot be accessed must be specified, i.e.
those conditions not listed in the "Software" chapter.

Choices of Multipliers

4.6.6

If a gamble game offers a choice of multipliers, it must be clear to the player what are the range
of choices/payouts.

4.6.7

Once the player has selected a multiplier, it must be clearly stated on the screen which
multiplier was selected.

4.7 Standard Wording

Qualifications

Some of these statements, in which the meaning is very broad, must be read in conjunction
with other statements in order to accurately describe the game's rules.
