How can I maximize my money in Press Your Luck

In Press Your Luck, all you have to do to play is hit the big red button to activate the slot machine. You can make some in-game money by getting good spins, but there is one method to grow your money way beyond simple slots: the mini-game!

If you spin three Press Your Luck icons anywhere on the board, you’ll enter the mini-game. The gameplay is similar – just press the red button to start the spin, and press it again to end the spin. In the mini-game, though, each spin lands on one value, and you get that value added to your total. Look out for squares like “vacation,” which have big payouts – but, as always, watch out for Whammys!

In the mini-game, each Whammy will reset your money total within the mini-game to $0. If you get four Whammys you’ll be removed from the mini-game entirely. At any point, you can click Pass to end the mini-game, bank your money, and continue playing the regular game.
