Highway Kings (3Win8): a 9-line truck slot with free games and two-way pays, unlike the ACE333 original
The 3Win8 Highway Kings looks like the Playtech truck slot but plays differently: lines pay both ways, there is a wild, and three scatters give free games.

Highway Kings on 3Win8 wears the same outfit as the Playtech truck slot: the yellow HIGHWAY KINGS logo between a red and a green semi, white reels, and garage symbols. Open the help page, though, and it is a different machine. This page compares the two and gives the 3Win8 paytable.
What is different from the classic version
The ACE333 Highway Kings is the original nine-line Playtech game with no bonus. The 3Win8 edition keeps nine lines but adds three things:
- Lines pay both ways. "All lines pay either from left to right or right to left."
- A wild. The red truck marked WILD "only appears on 2nd, 3rd or 4th reels" and "can be combined with other symbol to win doubled bonus".
- Free games. A round scatter badge gives free games when three or more land on reels 1, 2 and 3, or reels 3, 4 and 5.
The rule wording matches other 3Win8 nine-line games such as Great Stars, which suggests the same engine with a truck skin.
The paytable
Pays are multiples of the line bet.
| Symbol | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red truck | 10000 | 500 | 50 | 10 | 2 |
| Yellow truck | 5000 | 250 | 25 | 5 | - |
| Green truck, jerry can | 1000 | 150 | 20 | 5 | - |
| Fuel pump, spark plug | 300 | 50 | 10 | 2 | - |
| Dice, piston | 200 | 25 | 5 | - | - |
| Steering wheel, tyre | 50 | 10 | 3 | - | - |
The scatter pays 1 for two, 5 for three, 10 for four and 100 for five, plus 10, 15 or 25 free games for three, four or five.
The reels in play
The bar is simple: LINES 9 on the left, BET with minus and plus, a small BET / WIN box, AUTO and a green arrow SPIN. At 0.10 a line the total is 0.90. Line tabs 1 to 9 run down both sides in the order 4, 6, 2, 8, 1, 9, 3, 7, 5.
In another capture, at 0.01 a line (0.09 total), five pistons ran along the bottom row. The banner read "LINES 3 WIN 2.00", which is exactly the 200 for five pistons times 0.01. WIN showed 4.00 for the spin, so a second line paid as well.
Pacing
At 0.09 a spin you can play a long session on a small balance, and two-way lines mean more small hits than the classic version. The free games and the red truck are the upside. Nothing here needs a bigger bet to reach it.

Troubleshooting and questions
Does Highway Kings have free spins?
On 3Win8, yes: the help page lists 10, 15 or 25 free games for 3, 4 or 5 scatters on reels 1 to 3 or 3 to 5. The classic Playtech version, as seen on ACE333, has no bonus round, so the two are not the same game underneath.
Why does one red truck pay?
The red truck row on the paytable has an entry for a single symbol, paying 2. It is the only symbol that pays for one.
