OBJECT OF THE GAME
The object of the game is to accumulate the highest number of points
while trying to cover all the numbers on the Game Card. You only
get 20 spins to do it, so you need to use a little strategy. You score
points by covering numbers, making SLINGOs and spinning GOLD
COINs. Watch out for the DEVIL! If you see him and hear his evil
laugh, he takes half your points!
Slots Window - The row of 5 squares at the bottom
of the LCD. The contents of these squares changes
with each spin.
SLINGO - A SLINGO is scored when you cover 5
numbers in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
When you get a SLINGO, a flashing arrow will appear
at each end. There are 12 possible SLINGOs, and
each one adds 1,000 points to your score.
The JOKER is used as a wild card. If you spin a
JOKER, the symbol will appear above the Game Card,
and "JO" will appear in the Slots Window. You can
use the JOKER to cover any number in the column
above the "JO."
LET'S PLAY
1. TURN THE GAME ON - Press the ON/OFF button to
turn on the unit. The HIGH SCORE screen will be
displayed for 3 seconds, showing the top five
scores.
2. SPINNING - The Game Card on the LCD will be
filled with 25 numbers. TAKE SPIN will be flashing
in the upper right hand corner and the TIMER will
begin counting down from 10 seconds.
(NOTE: If the TIMER reaches 0 before you press the
SPIN button, you forfeit that spin; the spin counter will advance
to the next number and the TIMER will reset.) The number next
to the TAKE SPIN field shows you which spin you are taking
(1 - 20).
Press SPIN. Five numbers and/or symbols will appear in the Slots
Window. Once you press SPIN, TAKE SPIN disappears and the
spin number (1-20) is displayed.
3. COVERING THE GAME CARD - Numbers or letters will appear in
the Slots Window. You have 30 seconds to match the numbers
in the Slots Window with the numbers in the columns above them.
Use the DIRECTIONAL KEYS to move the cursor up, down, left and
right, then press ENTER to confirm your choice. Cursor location
is indicated by flashing number(s) on the Game Card.
(NOTE: The contents in the first square of the Slots Window can
only be matched with numbers in the first column, the contents
of the second square can only be matched with numbers in the
second column, and so on.) You have 30 seconds to complete
all matches.
EXAMPLE: The number in the upper left-hand corner is flashing.
The number in the second square of the Slots Window matches
the number in the middle of the second column. Press the RIGHT
arrow to move the cursor one column to the right. Press the
DOWN arrow twice to move the cursor down two rows. Press
ENTER.
Matched numbers will be replaced by the Match Icon and 200
points will be added to your score. (If you have matched
incorrectly, you will hear the negative sound effect.)
After 30 seconds, the TAKE SPIN icon will start flashing indicating
that you must take your next spin. This process is repeated until
you have matched all the numbers on your Game Card or until
you reach SPIN 17.
If you finish making your matches before the 30 second timer runs
out, press SPIN once to activate the SPIN timer. Press SPIN again
to TAKE SPIN.
4. SPINS 17 - 20 - After spin #16, you have to "buy"
additional spins 17-20. You do this by using
accumulated points or FREE SPINs. (NOTE: IF YOU
DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH ACCUMULATED POINTS OR
FREE SPINS TO BUY A SPIN, YOUR GAME IS OVER.)
The cost of each spin is as follows: 17 - 500 points,
18 - 1000 points, 19 - 1500 points and 20 - 2000 points. Before
each of these spins, a screen will display the cost of the remaining
spins, then the GAME BOARD will return and TAKE SPIN will be
flashing. If you want to use points, press SPIN. If you want to use
a FREE SPIN, see step 5.
5. HOW TO USE A FREE SPIN - FREE SPIN are NOT used automatically.
When TAKE SPIN is flashing in the upper right-hand corner, press
ENTER. The cursor will move to the FREE SPIN field. When FREE
is flashing, press SPIN. The FREE SPIN total will decrease by 1.
(If you have less than 4 FREE SPINs, you will have to decide if you
want to use them for the less expensive spins, like spin 17, or
save them for more expensive spins.)
6.SCORING - For each number covered, you earn 200 points. For
each SLINGO, you earn 1,000 points. For each GOLD COIN, you
receive 1,000 points. If you cover your entire card within 20
spins, you earn BONUS POINTS. The earlier you cover the card,
the more points you receive.
