The Crimbo Casino Slot Machine is located in The Crimbo Casino. Each play of this three wheeled slot machine costs 1 Crimbuck and 1 Adventure.
Each wheel can display a Crimbo pressie, a Crimbo stocking, or a candy cane. A candy cane in position #1 wins back 3 Crimbux, while candy canes in both positions #1 and #2 win you 5 Crimbux. Three candy canes give 7 Crimbux. Three Crimbo stockings give 9 Crimbux. Three Crimbo pressies are the jackpot at 11 Crimbux. After you fight Edwing Abbidriel, all payouts on the slot machines double to 6, 10, 14, 18, and 22 Crimbux, respectively.

What are the odds? They seem rather good. If the combinations were all equally likely, of the 27 combinations 16 would pay nothing, 6 would pay three times what you paid to play, and 2 would pay five times what you paid to play. The remaining three would pay you seven times, nine times, and eleven times your wager. If you spent 27 crimbux on this game (27 rounds), you'd get back 55 crimbux on average.
After you meet Edwing, the odds are even better. If you spent 27 crimbux now, you'd get back 110! This is an expected gain of 3.07 Crimbux/adventure.
Notes
- The expected net gain from the Slot Machine is approximately 1.037 Crimbux/adventure spent.
- After you fight Edwing Abbidriel, the payouts double, and the expected net gain rises to 3.074 Crimbux/adventure spent.
- Don't take the button lightly. If you bet 1 crimbuck, you may win one or two back, and lose an adventure. If you bet 100 crimbux, you may win 100-200 back, and lose 100 adventures. You have been warned.
- You may spend adventures here even while falling-down drunk. However, an attempt to go gambling with no adventures left gives the message "You don't have time for that much gambling." The same message appears if you don't have enough Crimbux left to cover all the bets you would make, even if you have enough adventures remaining to be able to make those bets.
- Does not register as your "Last Adventure".
