JadeDragon's reviews and playing tips: Pocket PC games

Slot Machine, by MaxPocket Free
Reviewed April 2002

When you look for free slot machine games for Pocket PCs, you won't find a large selection. Slot Machine made by MaxPocket is a freeware game that's worth checking out. The slot machine simulates the Lucky 7 slot machine. The graphics and animation of the slot window are quite good and the sound effects of the slot wheel turning are pretty realistic. There is a card game window at the button. When you hit a winner on the slot, you can play a card slot game to either double your winning money or loose it all. You can bet in 5s. There is no prize list, which means when you win you will find out how much you've won and with what combination. But if you've played Lucky 7 slots in casinos, this won't be too much of a mystery. You won't be able to save the game, as it's freeware. Every time you come back, it's a new game.

Playing Hints and Tips

After winning a turn on the slot, I never won anything on the card game. Just a word of warning. It's fun nonetheless to check it out though.
