Payout Question...

[playklax01]

Ok, this has bugged me for years...  On BBPB, when hitting the 3 pigs to go to the bonus game, should line payouts be paid as well?  There is technically only 1 payout that could occur due to how the pigs are positioned on the reels.

Reel 1 = Pigs on Sevens and Bars
Reel 2 = Pigs on Bars, Wild, and Break the Bank
Reel 3 = Pigs on Break the Bank only

Wild pays 1 (with 1 coin in).  It seems the way the pigs are generally positioned that the programmers envisioned that there would not be a line pay when the bonus is hit, but the Wild Pig is used occasionally for this combo.  Should it not pay the 1 coin?  There is nothing on the glass saying that the bonus round hit only pays the bonus round and not the line pay(s). 

I'm personally not concerned about being ripped off for a coin, but being how strictly regulated slot are shouldn't there be something addressing this?

It's been a while since i've seen this game. To my recollection though, you DO NOT get wins on the line payouts. This has to do with the bonus game itself. Read the fine print or the rules part of the game for more information.

That's the thing.  There's no fine print or anything in the rules that addresses if there is a payline win along with starting the bonus.  I know of some IGT machines that spell this out clearly, but this WMS machine says nothing.

I would think the reel glass writing on the left under the 'payline' text would be the indicator for what you are asking.

Only highest winner paid when centered on the payline.

I never liked that wording when I played for real in the casinos. Figured it would be the thing they would point out if I ever had a question on a payout. Lol.

I do believe that would cover the question you have on the wild pig 1 coin paid as the bonus would most likely pay more than that even if 3 coins are required for the bonus to be active. Some bonuses do not pay anything at times, not sure about this bonus as I haven't played the game enough to know.

Anyway, my 2 cents on trying to find it in writing.
