Fruit Machine

Fruit machine programs have always been popular and this one is one of the best. It's got lots of features on it that make it a game of some skill, as well as one of chance.

The game has three reels featuring the usual assortment of bells, bars, lemons and such. You have £5 to gamble with 10p a spin (50 spins). If you get a winning combination, you can collect, gamble, nudge or winner spin. Nudges allow you to nudge the reels while winner spinning automatically gives you a number of wins. There is even a list of the reels for those who want to cheat.
