If you have ever wanted your own fruit-machine, or if you are thinking of joining Gamblers Anonymous, then this is the program for you. Excellent graphics combined with all the features you would expect to find on your own fruit-machine make this a superb package. My only misgiving for this game is its ability to hold your interest for any length of time.

The graphic construction of the reels is terrific, and once RETURN has been pressed a real rolling action is depicted. HOLD and NUDGE are randomly allocated, and selected by keys 1 to 3 for the appropriate reel. Nudging time quickly disappears, and it takes some practice to gain the most from your nudges.

On the financial side, you start with 20 pence, and each press of RETURN costs 1p. Winning combinations are displayed at the beginning of the program and follow traditional slot machine standards.

Maybe I am just very lucky, but I have not yet managed to lose all my money on this game (the only REAL departure from the genuine article!) but should you be unfortunate the space-bar restores your fortune.

Sound is imaginatively deployed to alert you to a win, nudge or hold, and rounds the game off nicely. This game is good value for demonstrating the graphic ability of your VIC.
