How can I maximize my money in Press Your Luck

[AARPTeri]

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.
