Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
How do I win this slot machine?
1 of 7: Put the token in and pull the handle.
2 of 7: You're trying to get, as the writing on the machine says, all nasty characters.
3 of 7: The nasty ones are pretty easy to spot. "Rotten Rudy" is bad; "Percy the Poet" is not.
4 of 7: Push the buttons under any nasty characters you get and pull the handle again.
5 of 7: If you win, you get two more tokens. Lovely!
6 of 7: If you don't win, oh well. Go back to Mary's and play "Run For Cover" again to get another token.
7 of 7: This time, save your game before you start; if you lose, load that game and play again until you win.
