About this game
Each drum is a short strip of symbols, and between pulls you make exactly one edit — stamp a symbol on, scrap one off, or temper one to a higher grade.
How it works
Three of a kind jams the machine, and a drum that repeats a symbol wears it, so stacking one symbol is a dead end twice over. Bells want a partner, Springs want variety, Magnets copy the best neighbour, and tempering jams Rust into the same drum. A gauge shows the machine’s exact average payout, so you build a number rather than chase a feeling.
Meet the quota in thirty pulls, against an upkeep that rises twice. Chips are a score: there is nothing to buy and no real money anywhere.
