Lemon Party Slot

This is the third of the seven games available to you in The Casino. Each play of this three wheeled slot machine costs 10 meat and 1 Adventure.

Each wheel can display a jumbo olive, a lime, a lemon, an orange, or a cherry. If all three fruits are different, you get nothing, except under Bad Moon, where you receive a big rock; if two fruits are the same, you get one of that fruit; if all three fruits are the same, you get three of that fruit.


What are the odds? Surprisingly good, but it depends on how much you value an adventure. Of the 125 combinations, only 60 leave you with nothing. 60 give you a fruit, and 5 give you three fruits. This means that if you spend 10,000 meat and 1000 adventures on this game, you would typically expect to obtain 120 of each fruit (600 fruits total). This works out to just under 17 meat and 1.7 adventures per fruit. Granted, two of the fruits are obtainable from The Hippy Store, but for 70 meat each, and the other three are hard to come by.

Recent changes to the kingdom make the Lemon Slot Party an attractive alternative to farming the Icy Peak, or buying the fruits from the mall, or obtaining and using fruit baskets.


When The Gray Plague hit the Kingdom, this slot machine began malfunctioning occasionally, dispensing one of the ingredients for Doc's Miracle Cure:

You deposit your Meat and spin the wheels...
An abrupt clanking noise comes from inside the slot machine, and smoke begins to issue forth from the fruit slot. You hear a clunk, and a weird piece of plastic drops out of the machine.
You start to call an attendant, but then notice the sign bolted to the front of the machine reading "Malfunction voids all pays and plagues."
You acquire an item: plastic passion fruit

With a ten-leaf clover, you always get a big rock, no matter what the wheels show:

You deposit your Meat and spin the wheels...
A horrible grinding noise emanates from inside the slot machine, and a big rock falls into the payout tray. Great. A rock.
Your ten-leaf clover disappears in a puff of smoke. Wait, what?
You acquire an item: big rock

Notes

  • This game was originally called Fruit Insanity!!!. In September 2005 it was renamed to Lemon Party Slot and slightly revamped.
  • Upon the destruction of The Gray Plague, the machine was repaired and the plastic passion fruit no longer drops.

  • The Lemon Party Slot is a reference to LemonParty.org, a rather infamous picture found on several shock sites. Google it at your own risk. Actually, don't even Google it at all - just read about it at the "shock sites" link.
  • The line "Malfunction voids all pays and plagues" when scoring a plastic passion fruit is a reference to the warning "Malfunction voids all pays and plays" which is stamped onto slots, video poker, and all other electronic gaming machines in just about every casino.
