Safecracker Hints

The Slot Machine

  • 1 of 11: Playing the slot machine is not necessary to finishing the game.
  • 2 of 11: If you're determined to play, save the game before starting in case you run out of quarters.
  • 3 of 11: Look around for a clue.
  • 4 of 11: In particular, look at the children's book on the chair.
  • 5 of 11: "A is for Apple, B is for Banana, C is for Lemon...."
  • 6 of 11: Put a quarter in the machine and pull the lever.
  • 7 of 11: If the first picture is a green apple, press the left hold button.  If the second picture is a banana, press the middle hold button.  If the third picture is a lemon, press the right hold button.  The correct fruits must appear in the exact order to win.
  • 8 of 11: Pull the lever again.  Check again for the correct pictures.  Push the appropriate hold button if you see one.  Continue until the lever won't work anymore.
  • 9 of 11: If you'd like to try again, put in another quarter.
  • 10 of 11: When you run out of quarters, you can either restore your game, or you can find more inside the barrel.
  • 11 of 11: When you win, the machine give you a postcard, with the following written on it: "JACKPOT!  You've won a shot at our jackpot draw.  Send this code word "Scarcefreak" to: Trent Rampant, Daydream, V.
