ABOUT 2X CHERRIES
About 2X Dynamite

2X Dynamite is the sequel to the very popular Double Dynamite Video Slots game published by Ultisoft, Inc.

This is a nine-wheel, eight-payline slot machine game.  Up to eight coins can be bet on each payline.  Each payline which has a bet placed on it can win.  Winnings are based on the symbols on the payline and the number of coins being bet on that line.  There are also several bonus features which make 2X Dynamite very fun and also adds an element of skill to the game.

The game will detect the number of colors available and will use either True Color (24-bit) graphics or 256 color (8-bit) graphics depending on your graphics card's capabilities.  The game will also adjust to your current resolution and will take up the full screen.

Keyboard Controls

Besides using your mouse to control the game, you can use your keyboard for betting and for spinning or stopping the reels

To Add to the Number of Lines Played:  Press L
To Subtract from the Lines Played:  Press K

To Add to Coins per Line:  Press C
To Subtract Coins per Line:  Press X

To Spin:  Press the Enter Key
To Stop:  Press the Space Bar


SKILL STOP
The Stop Button

You can stop the wheel while it is spinning by pressing the space bar or clicking on the Stop button.  Unlike the other 2X games (2X Cherries and 2X Wild Stars) there is no skill stop feature in this game.

When you get a Question Mark symbol on the center slot reel, the eight question mark boxes at the bottom of the screen will light-up in order.  Press the flashing Stop button to choose the square you want.  You can also press the Space Bar.  This will reveal a Mystery Bonus prize which is based upon the amount of coins bet per line.


LEMON AND PIRATE SYMBOLS
Stop Sign Symbols

The game contains a Stop Sign symbol.  This symbol has no value to a payline.  If you get three Stop Signs on a payline, there are no winnings for that line..

These symbols were added to lower the payoff percentage which was way too high in pre-release versions.  The current payoff percentage is approx. 110%.  This means that over time the game will return around 110 credits for every 100 bet.


Auto Spin

You can toggle Auto Spin mode  on or off by clicking the button labeled "Auto Spin" on the right-hand side of the game screen.

When Auto Spin is on, the game will spin the wheels automatically with a very short pause between spins.  Your bet will remain the same as the last bet before autospin was activated.

To stop Auto Spin mode, just click the Auto Spin button to toggle Auto Spin mode to off.


Placing Bets

You can play 1-to-8 Paylines and from 1-to-8 Coins per Line.  That means you can bet from 1-to-64 total coins per spin.

Click the Plus Signs and Minus Signs to add to the Lines Played or Coins per Line.  You can also use the keyboard to control Lines Played (L or K) and Coins per Line (C or X).


Borrowing Credits

Click on the Borrow button to borrow (or repay) credits.  A new game starts with 1000 credits which are considered borrowed.


Payoffs Chart

Click the PAYOFFS button within the program to view the payoff chart.  The payoff chart lists the amounts won for various winning paylines and the available screen bonuses.  Payoffs for Free Spins are also listed.

Remember that payline winnings are based on the coins bet on one line (not the total coins bet).


Payoff Mode

Toggle the Payoff Mode by clicking the Pay Mode button.

Your choices are "Count off Credits" or "Instant Payoff."  Instant Payoff just plays one short sound and therefore takes less time.


Bonuses

Free Spins

When you earn free spins, the symbols used on the slot reels change.  Now there are only seven symbols, different bar symbols, stop sign symbols.  The payoff amounts also change;  See the payoff chart for the bonus payoffs.

You earn three free spins by removing all the dollar sign symbols from the left-hand side of the screen.  A new game begins with six of the dollar symbols.  Each time you get a payline with three of dollar symbols a corresponding symbol is removed.  Remove all of the dollar symbols to earn your three free spins.

You can also win a free spin on any spin of the slot reels by getting the Free Spin symbol on the Skill Stop area at the bottom of the screen.

Mystery Bonus

When you get a Question Mark symbol on the center slot reel, the eight question mark boxes at the bottom of the screen will light-up in order.  Press the flashing Stop button to choose the square you want.  You can also press the Space Bar.  This will reveal a Mystery Bonus prize which is based upon the amount of coins bet per line.  It can be up to 800 credits when you are betting full credits (64 credits) at the time.

Bonus Pool

The Bonus Pool is a sort of progressive bonus.  This pool starts out at 100 credits.  When you get the 2X Dynamite symbol and any slot reel, three credits are added to the Bonus Pool.

The Bonus Pool is won by removing three Globe symbols from the left-hand side of the screen.  Each time you get a payline with three Globe symbols, one of the Globe symbols on the left-hand side of the screen is removed.


Double or Nothing

There are two double-or-nothing games you can play after any winning spin.  You can switch between the two games as long as you have some winnings remaining from your last spin.

Card Game

After each winning spin, you have the option of risking your winnings for a larger reward.  If you have Double-or-Nothing mode turned on, a card screen will appear after a winning spin.  You can select a card by clicking on the card back.  You can play until you wish to stop or until you lose your winnings.  You can skip the game by clicking OK before selecting a card.

A standard deck of 52 cards are shuffled.  The first 24 cards are placed on the screen.  One of the cards is replaced by a Joker.

Joker pays 10X
An Ace pays 3X
Any Face Card pays 2X
An 8,9,10 is a push (you neither win nor lose your winnings)
A 7 makes you lose half your winnings
A 2,3,4,5,6 makes you lose all your winnings

Pyramid Game

The pyramid is made up of 15 numbered squares.  Behind three of the squares are nice multiplier symbols (5X, 3X and 2X).  Getting one of these will multiply your winnings up to five times.  There are also symbols that make you lose your winnings and other symbols which say "Try Again."  There are also two "hint" symbols.  When you get one of these, you are given a hint which will help you find the 5X multiplier.


Loading and Saving Games

You can save a game at any time by clicking the SAVE GAME button.  You will be able to name your game anything you like up to 30 characters.

You can then load any of your saved games by clicking the LOAD GAME button.

Your current game is saved automatically when you exit the game.  When you run the game later, your last game will be loaded automatically.


Summary of Last Spin

You can click the SUMMARY button after a winning spin to view a summary of your winnings for the last spin.  It will show which paylines won (if any) and your screen bonuses won (if any).
