As the title implies, the slot machine has lots of bar symbols. Spin any three good symbols for CY$1000. But three of the same pays much more.
We also have a Joker in the third reel to help you make triples -- as well as the Happy Hour bonus symbol, worth up to CY$10,000.
Of course, there's bad luck and an outlaw in the third reel. Run into bad luck and you get a strike and must spin again. An outlaw is an automatic three strikes. Once you get that third strike, game's over and you lose everything.
You could take the 1100, stop now and we'd go back to the main game -- or you could gamble it all away and spin.
Eddie: I will spin.

Doug: Thanks to the Joker, you got three of a kind. Three single Bars for CY$2500 more. Nearly at the halfway mark with CY$4600 total. No marks against you. But of course, one outlaw spoils everything.
Spin again or stay?
Eddie: I'm feelin' good. Let's give 'em another go.
Doug: Just like James Brown, he's feelin' good. Spin away.

Doug: That's better. From left to right, the 7/Bar, the double Bar and our Happy Hour bonus. Immediately, that's CY$1000 since you spun any three symbols. Now, let's set up for the bonus.

Doug: Eddie, we now have the letters B, A and R up there. Behind one of those letters, there's a CY$10,000 payoff. Each of the other letters is worth just CY$500. You want to find the 10-grand. Which letter hide the CY$10,000?
(audience shouts suggestions of letter)
Eddie: Hmmmm. I'm hoping the B isn't for Bad.
Doug: B for *not* bad. What's behind the B?

Doug: The R was hidding the 10-grand. OK, Happy Hour's over. We add 500 to your tab. You're up to CY$6100. Three double Bars or something better will automatically win it for you. You have one strike against you. What say ye?
(audience says "Go! Go!")
Eddie: Famous last words perhaps, but one more try!
Doug: Ah, the ever popular "one more". Give 'em a spin.

Doug: You made it! Double Bars naturally across for CY$5000 more. You're over the top. Congratulations.
Let's crunch the numbers. You had CY$6100 at risk, *plus* the 5000 from the three double Bars *and* the 24K bonus. Grand total of CY$35,100.
