It would be no exaggeration to say that it is one of the most famous private addresses not only by this street, but also in the whole London or even in the Great Britain.

The winning combinations are formed by the most wide-spread principals. Several similar symbols have to drop out next to each other at the active line starting from the first left reel. Every chain contains only one winning combination. It is the most valuable in such case.

To calculate an amount of the payoff, the bet staked per line is multiplied by the combination index, provided by the table. Payoff indexes can vary in range from x5 to x10000. In case of several combinations formed at different lines in result of the spin, all the winnings are summarized.

In the second mode you would see stairs with doubling payoffs. You would have to make steps by it while the random number generator would say if you win or lose (such version was popular in slot machines of the end of twentieth century). Please check details in the informational section.
