This particular Top Dollar machine is at an Indian casino, fwiw, and I put in a $50 TITO. Then I notice three buttons: $1, $2, and $5. I think I noticed there were 5 lines, so I figure, oh, $1 per line so I'll play $5 - I hit the $5 button. One spin, and I got a cherry in the middle surrounded by a bunch of other symbols which didn't seem to line up - I won 6 credits. I figure, ok, that's one more than I put in, so I'll try again. On this spin, I could see some symbols lined up at the top and I was awarded 4 picks. The first pick said 65 credits - I recalled the earlier advice in this very post but shoot - I get three more picks so maybe they'll up the ante. (I think at this point some of you are chuckling at my naivete, but I was in uncharted waters.) Next pick said 40 credits. I could see it was going in the wrong directions, but hey, let's see one more pick. This one said 60 credits and I didn't want to see any more - I accepted it. At that point I figured life wasn't going to get any better so I cashed out - to my surprise, the TITO had $330 on it. I'm still not sure just what I did. (And this is why I don't play slots!) Thoughts?

Fredo, I don't play slots much, but I think you were playing 5-lines @ $5 per credit. So each spin cost $25.
Insert $50 tito.
First spin 5 credits cost: -$25; Win 6 credits: +$30
After first spin $50 - $25 + $30 = Total $55
Second spin 5 credits cost: - $25; Win 60 credits: +$300
After second spin $55 - $25 + $300 = Total $330
