Casino Slot Machine
Casino Slot Machine was released on the Magnavox Odyssey 2 in 1980. The game is a computer simulation of, you guessed it, a casino slot machine!
One to four players can place their bets in any of the three horizontal rows or the two diagonal rows. Bets placed can be of $0.10, $0.25 or $1.00. The ways of winnings are similiar to a real slot machine.
A cherry and any combination wins you 3 coins, two cherries and anything wins you 8 coins, two oranges and a bar wins 10 coins, three oranges also wins 10 coins, two plums and bar (as well as three plums) wins 14 coins, two bells and bar (as well as three plums) wins 18 coins, two mellons and bar (or three mellons) wins 100 coins, as does three bar, finally three sevens wins you 200 coins!
The controls are as follows:
Right Controller:
Adjust Bet Amount: - Push the joystick Forward to increase your bet or pull it Backward to decrease it. You can toggle the stakes between $0.10, $0.25, and $1.00.
Select Betting Lines: - Move the joystick Left or Right to guide the on-screen arrow to a specific row indicator. Horizontal rows are marked by dashes (-). Diagonal rows are marked by slanted lines (/ or \).
Confirm a Bet: - Press the Action Button while pointing at a row indicator to lock in a bet on that specific line. You can bet on multiple lines per turn.
Spin the Reels: - Move the joystick to point the arrow at the slot machine handle on the right side of the screen and press the Action Button (or pull down on the joystick) to pull the lever.
*TIP*
Because the game runs on random generation rather than real-world physics, your best strategy in Casino Slot Machine should be to concentrate on bankroll management and smart betting.
