Across the top of the screen there are balance, bet and win buttons shown and below the values shown of the games two progressive jackpots, Minor and Major and the Three Stooges jackpot.

The gaming symbols at Three Stooges II are a curious mix of cherries, lemons, triple 7´s, gems, film studio gates, a clapperboard, vintage cars and the Three Stooges of course. They offer payouts between 50x and 20x for three of a kind for the highest paying icons and between 10x and x5 for three of a kind for the lower paying icons. Players will need to place at least two symbols in consecutive order and up to three to make wins on an active payline.
The wild symbol is represented by the icon of the slot Three Stooges II and this can appear on all three reels. It also substitutes for all the other gaming symbols except for the three scatters which are each of the Three Stooges. Three of these wilds provides players with payouts of 33x their bet. Wins for players also get to be trebled when one wild is present and wins are multiplied x9 when two wilds are present on the reels.
Larry´s Stash feature of free spins and Moe´s Moolah multiplier feature are both activated when three of each character appear on a payline. They both involve a six level prize ladder on which each level shows a number of different free spins and multipliers. How many of each players get will depend on a simple dice roll which then eliminates the levels one by one. After 5 rolls of the dice the last roll remaining determines the relevant free games prize which is then awarded to players.
Moe´s Moolah is the most potent bonus feature offering players a chance to win up to 100 free spins with a 10x multiplier with other prizes being 75 free spins with x8 multipliers, 50 free spins with x6 multipliers, 25 free spins with x5 multipliers, 15 free games with x4 multipliers and 10 free games gives players x3 multipliers.

Finally, an additional Win Win bonus feature which boosts player´s spirits can be triggered at the end of any of these features when the total win during the free games is less than 10x the triggering bet or less. The less you won the higher the Win Win prize. No win during the free games awards players a compensatory bonus prize which can range from between 10 to 200 times their triggering bet.
