Magic 8 BallTM
One of America’s rst pop fads, Magic 8 BallTM has been answering life’s mysteries since the 1940’s. The mystical ball is now a fun and stunning-looking slot! Part of IGT’s
Famous GamesTM MegaJackpots Instant WinnersTM,
this reel-spinner’s 8X symbol will give you real thrills when combined with a winning symbol combination. One Magic 8 Ball 8X symbol multiplies payouts eight times, and two multiply payouts a whopping 64 times! Three Ball 8X symbols yield the secondary award. Big jackpots are “Most Likely” in the Magic 8 Ball bonus, which is triggered when three 8 Ball symbols land in any position on the reels. Of course, you’ll wish for a big payout, and press the “Spin Reels” button to see the game’s response. Like the popular ball, fortunes range from “Concentrate and Ask Again” to
“As I See it, Yes,” and each quip has an associated credit value. Will you ip when three Magic 8 Ball symbols land on the payline with a maximum bet? “It is Certain.” The jackpot will give you a major thrill (paid in full upon veri cation of win). With all of this action, you might ask,
“Is this game destined to be a slot classic?” “It is Decidedly So.” Play Magic 8 BallTM now at Valley View Casino.
Cash For LifeTM
How would you like to receive at least $1,000 per week for the rest of your life? Cash for LifeTM is a wide area progressive jackpot that keeps giving and giving. The million dollar top prize is offered in $1,000 plus checks per week for life. The more people play, the bigger the jackpot, and then the weekly amount increases.
