Independent South Africa guideA source comparison resolves the format.
The Habanero page says 27 ways; the Hollywoodbets description says 27 paylines. We use the provider’s format label and explain the 27 positional combinations in our interactive diagram.
The diagram is our original mathematical illustration. It is not an extracted payline map or a captured win.
CHOOSE A POSITIONAL COMBINATION
One row on each reel. 27 combinations.
Select a row for each reel. The highlighted route is a counting illustration, not a winning payline.
Combination 14 of 27: middle → middle → middle.
3 choices × 3 choices × 3 choices = 27. Matching-symbol payout rules must come from the active paytable.
Two screens make the stake units checkable.
Compare the provider example with our clean before-play demo capture. Both show total bet = 9 × bet level × coin value. The displayed Grand prize follows 10,000 × bet level × coin value.
For the demo screen: 9 × 1 × 0.50 = 4.50 staked; 10,000 × 1 × 0.50 = 5,000 displayed Grand. The ratio is about 1,111.11, which explains why the bet-level label is not a 10,000-times-total-stake claim. No prize was won in this observation.
Official imagery has a clear provenance.
The base and wheel images were downloaded from the provider-hosted assets linked by Habanero’s game page, preserved as originals and optimized for this guide.
