Most fruit machines offer one or more features which make the games much more exciting and amusing to play. Features can be of many kinds. Driving a car, playing Monopoly or joining Popeye in his adventures are just three examples. Features give you a very good chance of winning.
A typical example of feature games would be a number of models based on classic board games. On these machines obtaining three overprinted feature symbols will win access to the feature. For example, the chance to play an exciting snakes and ladders board game. However, squares on this board offer increasingly higher money or mini feature prizes up to the maximum jackpot. Pressing the start button will spin a dice reel to move you up the board. At each stage you must decide on the prize on offer or spin the dice reel again to progress further. However, there are dangers - land on a snake and you lose! The choice is yours.
Features are offered to be won in addition to the normal reel wins. The means of winning a feature will vary on different types of fruit machine but this will be stated on the machine along with the usual prizes.
On most machines winning the feature involves additional or over printed symbols alongside the usual symbols on the reel. In it's simplest form having three of these overprinted symbols on the pay line will award the feature. On other machines the overprinted symbols are numbers which progressively light a "trail".
This "trail" can vary in appearance from ARROWS to a NAME, and can be of variable length. On some machines there is a chance that your current position on the "trail" is HELD OVER for the next game. When this occurs a "TRAIL HELD" or "FEATURE HELD" caption will light to inform you of this happening. When the complete "trail" has been lit the FEATURE GAME is awarded.
Of course Hold or Nudge, if offered, can be used to help you win your feature.
