By adding the different modes of play together to create over 400 different combinations. The WormPot as three different reels - each game mode is represented by an icon on these reels, the reels will spin when a button is a hit, they will slow to a stop leaving you with three remaining icons. Add all of these together and you see what attributes your game will have. Players can also select manually which modes to include in their game.

Edited or new missions can be placed on the Net for friends to download.
