Overview

Jackpot: Set the Reel puts you in control of your own luck! This 'slotbuilder' challenges you to master the art of hand manipulation as you aim to make lines of three of the same symbol. But the twist is, you never shuffle your cards! Instead, through clever planning, tactical upgrades, and precise card swaps, you’ll manipulate your hand to strike massive payouts.

Gain victory points by matching symbols, with bigger combos scoring bigger payouts. Upgrade cards to unlock rewards, and claim bonus tiles to boost your score or gain special abilities. Every choice matters.

The game is played simultaneously and with each round, you’ll place three adjacent cards from your hand into your slot machine, forming a row. You'll repeat this twice more, building a grid and claiming points for completed matches. Then, pass your last card to the player on your left while receiving a card from the right, and placing it strategically to optimise your next move.

Next, collect coins from one column of your slot machine, then reorder your columns in your hand while keeping each column’s cards in the sequence you just played them in. With your hand reset, you're ready for another round.

Will you manipulate the cards, stack the odds, and hit the jackpot?
