There is no set order that you have to find symbols in or win prizes in, but the lowest prizes you can win are the mystery letters and numbers that are believed to be part of the wicked wizards armoury of spells. Pick them up as then he won't be able to use these spells on you, and you'll win prizes of up to 5,000 coins for doing so. Find the Sceptre of Power and you can win up to another 5,000 coins and this may help you win your battle with the wizard, whilst treasure chests can be cashed-in for up to 8,000 coins. Killing the Wizard will get you up to 15,000 coins, whilst rescuing the princess will get you up to another 15,000 coins.
The game's two bonus symbols, the Book of Magic and the Scattered Crystal Ball, both serve two functions. The Scattered Crystal Ball can guide you to your future fortune with instant wins of up to 200,000 coins, whilst 3 or more symbols can also trigger 15 re-triggerable Bonus Spins in which all prizes are tripled. The Book of Magic can also offer instant wins of up to 200,000 coins, whilst it can magically replace all base symbols to create double paytable wins.
Whatever prizes are magically bestowed up on you, you'll have the chance to try and double them up to 5-times on the Gamble Feature. Simply guess whether a playing card will be red or black on each occasion to double your prize each time.
