Stats Challenge!
Below is the reel composition for Big Red. And the challenge is this...
To work out the odds of getting a feature
For those new to this game, the feature is triggered when the ROO (wild) symbol appears on a win line.
Knowing the odds of getting 5 CROCs with a ROO would also be fun. This is effectively the jackpot.

For one payline, here's what I get:
Of the 87,135,048 possible paylines, 174,525 of them trigger the feature; this is about 1/500.
For a line of five Crocs/Roos that include at least one Roo:
CCCCR - 12
CCCRC - 12
CCCRR - 6
CCRCC - 12
CCRCR - 6
CCRRC - 6
CCRRR - 3
This is a total of 57, or about 1 in 1.53 million.
Keep in mind that if you play multiple lines, the probabilities aren't necessarily multiplied by the number of lines; for example, you can't get Nine, Nine, Roo on both lines 1 and 2 at the same time as there is only one Roo on reel 3.
