Scatter combinations

How are the scatter total combinations of a slot calculated?
I'm using atkins diet as an example and can't figure it out yet.

The only value that I was able to get is the number of combinations for the 5 scatters
which is get this way:

(# scatters on reel 1 * 3) * (# scatters on reel 2 * 3) * (# scatters on reel 3 * 3) * (# scatters on reel 4 * 3) * (# scatters on reel 5 * 3)

But I don't know how to handle the other reels, combinations, etc.

I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

There are 2 scatters on reel 1, and 1 scatter on each of the other 4. There are 32 stops on each reel. 6 of the stops on reel 1 will result in a scatter The other 26 stops don't. 3 of the stops on the other 4 will result in a scatter. The other 29 don't. In summery:

Reel	1	2	3	4	5
scatter	6	3	3	3	3
other	26	29	29	29	29

To get the total of 4 scatters just go through all the combinations using 4 reels as scatter and 1 reel as other.
26*3*3*3*3 + 6*29*3*3*3 + 6*3*29*3*3 + 6*3*3*29*3 + 6*3*3*3*29
3 scatters:
26*29*3*3*3 + 26*3*29*3*3 + ... + 6*29*29*3*3 ect....
Any more questions just ask.
