Introduction
Jeff
Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds
is a 5-reel 100-line slot machine, with each reel
being 4 symbols tall. In addition to a bonus round
(where winnings are awarded for damaging and killing
the Fighting Machines), the game features special
Wild symbols which react together to fill a reel
with wilds.
Step
1: Getting Started
When you load the game you will be given the option
to load the Full high quality version of the game
(which has all the animations and sounds) or the
Reduced quality version which has fewer sounds
and animations and lower quality graphics so the
overall file size is smaller and quicker to download.
The game functionality and payouts are exactly
the same for both versions. After the version
you have selected has all been loaded you will
see the main screen:
Press
the 'STAKE UP' and 'STAKE DOWN' buttons to choose
a stake per line.
Your
selected stake per line will be multiplied by
100 lines. You cannot change the number of lines
in this game.
The
total amount you have staked will be shown in
the TOTAL STAKE box at the bottom right of the
screen.
Click
on the 'Paytable' button to view the paytable,
which shows the potential winnings for each reel
combination,
Step
2: How To Play
Press 'PLAY' to start the game (Alternatively
you can press the Spacebar on your keyboard to
spin).
The
reels will spin and eventually stop at random.
If
the combination of symbols appearing on the reels
form a line (starting from the left reel) of 3,
4 or 5 matching symbols on one of the 100 win
lines then you win.
Any
symbols that were part of a win will be highlighted
and your winnings will be credited to your account
balance.
The
total winnings are shown in the top right and
the total number of lines that had a win are shown
in the bottom left of the screen.
Fighting
Machine Bonus
The Fighting Machine bonus game is a special bonus
win, triggered by getting 3 BONUS symbols anywhere
on the reels (this is a scatter win, so the BONUS
symbols do not have to be on the same winline).
There
is no line win attached to the BONUS scatter win
- only entry to the bonus game, which itself guarantees
a win.
When
the game enters the bonus round, you will see
the introduction screen showing details of the
bonus game. The idea of this bonus is to shoot
as many of the Fighting Machines as you can before
they shoot all 3 of your cannons.
You
have 3 cannons and there are 3 Fighting Machines
to shoot, each of your cannons can only shoot
forwards at the machine in front of it (you cannot
aim left or right, you can only adjust the power
by pressing the Fire button at a different time).
When
the power meter is on the amount you want then
press the Fire button to fire that cannon. The
cannon will then be disabled for a moment while
it reloads.
If
you kill all 3 of the machines then you will get
onto the next stage. There are 3 stages in total
and you get a bonus of 500 times your total stake
if you complete them all by killing all 9 Fighting
Machines.
The
game ends when you have no more cannons left or
when you have killed all 9 machines. You will
then be awarded your winnings and taken back to
the main game.
Wild
Symbols
The WILD symbol substitutes all other symbols
except for the BONUS symbol to enhance your chances
of getting a winning line.
If
2 WILD symbols are revealed on the same reel -
one at the top and one at the bottom - then they
will expand to change the two symbols in-between
them to WILD symbols as well, and so increasing
your chance of getting several wins. This expanding
wild event occurs even if there are no wins created.
A
row of WILD symbols on an active win line does
not have any associated payout - the WILD pays
only when used as a substitute for another symbol.
Auto
Play
By selecting 'AUTO PLAY' you can choose to place
up to 25 bets automatically, one after the other.
Click 'AUTO PLAY' and select the number of automatic
bets you want before clicking the 'PLAY' button
to start those bets.
You
can stop Auto Play from continuing onto the next
spin by clicking 'STOP AUTO' (which replaces the
'AUTO PLAY' button when you are in Auto Play.
Auto
Play will turn off if you get into the bonus round.
GENERAL
NOTES
This game has a Return to Player of 94.7%. - System
malfunction voids all pays and play.
Jeff
Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds is
a 1978 concept album by Jeff Wayne, retelling the
story of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. Its
format is progressive rock using narration and leitmotifs
to carry the story along in between rhyming melodic
lyrics that express the feelings of various characters.
In the UK the two-disc album remains a bestseller.
It has since spawned multiple versions of the album,
a computer game, a DVD, and a 30th anniversary live
tour.

Beyond
the album
Video game
In 1984 CRL Group PLC released Jeff Wayne's Video
Game Version of The War of the Worlds for the Sinclair
ZX Spectrum home computer. It was also released in
Germany as Jeff Wayne's Video Version von Der Krieg
der Welten.
Computer
game
A 1998 computer game version, Jeff Wayne's The War
of the Worlds, was created by Rage Software. Jeff
Wayne produced the musical arrangements for the game,
consisting of 45 minutes of material re-scored and
remixed in a newer electronica style with techno beats.
The game's artwork was based on the illustrations
found throughout the original album booklet, and some
of Burton's dialogue as the journalist is used in
the opening scenes. A version of the game was also
released for the Sony PlayStation, although this was
a more "arcade" style game.
Animated
version
In late 2004 the ULLAdubULLA II production had been
commissioned for an animated CGI film version set
for a 2007 release, although as of 2010, the film
is still in its production stages. Test footage of
some of the Martian machines has been released to
War of the Worlds online.
Tour
A live tour, based on the album, took place in the
UK and Ireland in April 2006. A 'virtual' Richard
Burton (a projected image of a picture of a young
Richard Burton with a super-imposed actor's mouth
and jaw lip synched to the original Burton recordings)
performed as The Journalist. Justin Hayward reprised
his original role as The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist
and Chris Thompson returned as The Voice Of Humanity.
Also from the original recording were Chris Spedding
playing lead guitar and Herbie Flowers playing bass
guitar. Other guest artists who appeared were Alexis
James as The Artilleryman, Russell Watson as Parson
Nathaniel and Tara Blaise as Beth. Daniel Boys (known
from BBC's Any Dream Will Do) was understudy for all
the roles sung by male artists. A model Fighting Machine
featured on stage. Also presented was a short animated
'prequel' to the story in the style of the upcoming
feature-length film detailing the Martians' ecological
destruction of their own world (which was originally
made for the 1998 computer game Jeff Wayne's The War
of the Worlds) and their preparations to invade Earth,
and including a short remix of "The Red Weed".
The show was produced by Damian Collier and Jeff Wayne,
who also conducted the 48-piece ULLAdubULLA Strings
and 10-piece Black Smoke Band.
The live show toured Australia and New Zealand in
2007, with dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane
and Auckland. The Australian tour featured "Australian
Idol" runner-up Shannon Noll as Parson Nathaniel,
actress Rachael Beck as Beth and Michael Falzon as
the Artilleryman, alongside Justin Hayward and Chris
Thompson from the original cast.[4] A further UK live
tour took place in December 2007 with Justin Hayward,
Chris Thompson, Alexis James, John Payne as Parson,
and Sinéad Quinn as Beth.
2008 marked the 30th anniversary of the original album
release and a number of events took place, including
a "30th Anniversary" tour which started
on 7 June 2009 in Dublin. The 30th anniversary saw
Justin Hayward, Alexis James and Chris Thompson reprise
their respective roles, with Shannon Noll taking the
role of Parson Nathaniel and Jennifer Ellison as Beth.
However, when Noll had to leave the show halfway through
its 2009 tour, the role of Parson Nathaniel went to
Damien Edwards, who completed the run. Jeff Wayne
says that he and the show's producer, Damian Collier,
will be attempting to "make it the most exciting
production yet".[5]. Richard Burton's head has
also changed. It now looks more realistic, because
the whole face is now animated (an actor was found
with a similar facial structure, and all of Burton's
narrative parts were mimed, and his face was super-imposed
onto the face of the actor. In November 2009 Wayne
announced on his website dates for another tour in
the UK, Ireland, Germany, and Holland, and for the
first time, Belgium, in late 2010 - early 2011.
DVD
A two disc DVD special edition of the 2006 Wembley
Arena, London show was released 6 November 2006 by
Universal. Disc 1 contains the live show and Disc
2 contains extras and a documentary of the making
of the live show. It is titled Jeff Wayne's Musical
Version of The War of The Worlds - Live on Stage.

Aim
Of The Game
Remember that childhood game called "War"
in which you tried to get all of the playing cards?
All the cards were dealt out and then everyone played
a card. Whoever had the highest card won all of the
cards in play. If there were a tie, you would go to
WAR and play another round for all of the cards. Casino
War is much like this card game and was built to imitate
the original "war" game that many of us
played as kids. Casino War's popularity is exploding
because anyone can learn the game in a matter of seconds.
How
To Play
Your chips are stacked by denomination (£1,
£5, £25, £100, £500) at the
bottom of the screen above your User label. The Player
may make any wager desired within the posted table
limits. Bet placed on the players play circle\ante
location on table. The amount wagered per hand may
be increased or decreased by placing the mouse on
the stack that you wish to add or subtract to your
bet. Each time you click the left mouse button you
will add a chip from that pile to your planned wager
amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse button
you can decrease your planned wager amount. If you
place a wager that is lower than the minimum table
bet limit, your bet amount will be automatically adjusted
to the minimum bet amount.
Summary Of Rules
The game is played with six decks
Cards are ranked as in poker, except aces are always
high. The suit does not matter
After the players have made a wager each player and
the dealer shall get one card
Each player's card shall be compared with the dealer's
card. If the player's card is higher they win even
money. If the dealer's card is higher the player loses
In the event of a tie the player shall have two choices
: (1) surrender and forfeit half the bet, and (2)
go to War (see rule 6)
If the player elects to go to War he must raise his
bet by an amount equal to his original wager. The
dealer will then burn three cards and give the player
and dealer another card each. If the player's second
card beats the dealer then the player shall win even
money on the raise only and the original wager shall
push. If the dealer's second card is greater the player
shall lose both bets. Player wins in war on a second
tie. War win pays 1 to 2
A bonus tie bet is also available, which pays 10 to
1 if the first two cards tie and the bonus "tie
bet is placed before the round starts."
Note - If your card values are tied and you do not
make a choice to either surrender or go to war with
the house before the time limit on the clock expires;
the game will automatically disconnect you from the
server and the game state will be saved until you
return.
