LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Reset computer by holding down CTRL,SHIFT and ESC keys together in that order. Place cassette into the Datacorder. Rewind tape to beginning then press STOP/EJECT once. Press CTRL and small ENTER keys simultaneously then press PLAY followed by any key. This program will take about 4 minutes to load.
To start game press space bar. You have £5 to start with and each run of the Fruit Machine costs lop of your £5 stake.
During the game you may be able to hold the reels. You do this by pressing 1 for the left hand reel, 2 for the middle reel and 3 for the right hand reel. The Fruit Machine never holds after a nudge or a Winner Spinner. If you win you can collect the cash (by pressing C) or gamble it (by pressing G), or exchange it for nudges (by pressing N).
If you exchange it for nudges you are then able to nubge the reels up and down, depending on the number of nudges you have. To nudge down you press l, 2 or 3. To nudge up you press either 4, 5 or 6. You may also chose to gamble your nudges which could win you a greater number of nudges or lose the ones you have already acquired. If you press G and gamble your money you could win a greater amount or lose the lot.
To get a Winner Spinner you must have a win of at least 50p When you get a Winner Spinner you press W (you can gamble these if you wish). The Fruit Machine then becomes magical and by pressing the space bar you receive a number of wins and this is added to your total.

"Once again, nostalgia is a funny old thing. I wouldn`t even dream of playing a game like this nowadays but for some reason it always gives me a warm glow when I boot this up on the CPC. Sure it doesnt look, play or sound anything special but it makes me happy. And that`s all that matters."
Gryzor says
"Unless Alan Sugar gave me back some of the money spent on 3" discs, this is way pointless. Bad presentation, too, gladly my sis was addicted to pop music and Miami Vice instead."
Hiro says
"Seemingly pointless idea (obviously can`t win real money) but oddly addictive despite that. My mother and sister played this a hell of a lot when I was young which annoyed me cos I wanted to play on the CPC myself."
