📖 About This Game

One Arm Bandit is based on the concept of a slot machine. Players pay a silver dollar for the privilege of selecting a red, yellow, or blue tile which they hope will complete a combination that pays off according to the House Odds chart. After cashing in a winning combination, a player selects three new tiles and continues the search for another combination. If a player runs out of cash before putting together a winning combination, he pans out and is out of the game. Certain combinations with Jackpot tiles are more valuable than others, earning the holder additional silver dollars from the Bar. The player with the most money at the end of the game is the winner.
