How to place a bet
You get 1,000 credits for the game. This is the main gaming unit. It is translated into coins, which are to be bet for reel spins. This conversion is based on the value of each coin. It can be seen in the bottom right corner under the words Choose Coin.
Clicking this button changes the value of the coin in credits. There are six different options available to set the value of coins. The minimum value is 0.02 credits and the maximum is 1. You can see your total balance in coins in the bottom left corner of the Credits line. The Balance section is where you can find out the amount of credits in your virtual account.
Win and Bet are two more sections between these two lines. The former displays your prize in coins after the end of a spin. The Bet line shows your total bet per reelspin. It is the result of multiplying the number of active lines with the bet per line.
You can configure both of these options similarly. To increase them, click the relevant buttons. To change the number of active lines, click Select Lines, to adjust your line bet, Bet Per Line. Both buttons are found under the first reel.
By clicking Select Lines, you can add active lines to the game window. The maximum number of lines is 9 and the minimum is 1. Without active lines you can't start the spins. You can see the arrangement of winning lines on the reels as you set their number. You simply need to take a look at the game window and see the lines that are paylines.
Of note is a special arrangement of the active lines. Four of them are the same as the number of horizontal lines on the game screen. Another four lines run vertically, the same as the reels. The ninth line is diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
Note that the single bet cannot be more than five coins. As a result, the maximum total bet is 45 coins. The minimum you can bet for one line is 1 coin. This small sum is also the minimum total bet.
How to make spins
Spins in Chase the Cheese start after you click one of two special buttons. One is Spin and is found under the fourth reel. Clicking it starts one spin with the current bet settings.
To the left of Spin, you can see Max Bet. It performs the same function but changes your total bet automatically to the maximum bet for a spin, which is 45 gaming coins.
Spins can be made in no other way. No other settings are available, either. That's why you can't turn off the sound in the slot. You won't be able to accelerate the spinning of the reels or change the size of the game window, either.

Its this special bonus game that makes the Chase the Cheese slot intriguing. However, some users might feel uncomfortable that settings are unavailable.
