Three drums, one nudge
Three drums, a hold, a nudge and absolutely no real money.
Mechanical fruit machine with hold, nudge and a payout ladder — play money only.
About Pocket Slot
A mechanical fruit machine with a payout ladder, played entirely with play credits. Holds and nudges are the only skill on offer, and using them on near misses is what stretches a bank of credits.
How to play Pocket Slot
Spin the three drums and line up matching symbols to build your credit balance. Play money only.
Controls
- · Tap SPIN to set the drums going.
- · Tap a drum to HOLD it before the next spin.
- · Use NUDGE when offered to shift a drum one symbol.
Rules & scoring
- · Three of a kind pays the most; two matching symbols pay a small return.
- · 7 and BAR are the top payouts.
- · Every spin costs one credit — the game ends when credits run out.
Tips
- · Hold a pair before nudging.
- · Nudges are the only skill element — save them for near misses.
