Rules

The “Reels”

For every spin, the three volunteers (who are standing in between dividers and can’t see each other) choose a fruit at random and reveal it together — just like a real slot machine!

We used reusable plastic fruit so it wouldn’t get soft or messy during the event — and it can be used again and again.

The Fundraising Game

Cost to Play

• $5 = 3 spins (3 chances to win).
• Players donate and step up to play.
• Volunteers don’t pay, they just help run the game.
• Towards the end of the night we were allowing players to be part of the reel if they wanted, and still had the chance to win. 
  
  

How to Win

• The player wins if they get 3 of the same fruit in a single spin.
• They receive 50% of the current pot.
• The remaining 50% goes to the charity or fundraiser.
• They can only win once per $5 donation.

The Pot

• Each new pot starts at $10 (seed money provided by the host).
• If no one wins, the pot continues to grow.

When someone wins:

• They get half the pot.

• The pot resets to $10 and starts growing again.

Tips & Tricks for a Great Event

• Have the player ring a bell before each spin to kick off the round.

• Use simple, reusable props like plastic fruit.

• Keep the rules clear and the energy fun.

• Use dividers in between the volunteers so players know the game is fair.

• Display the current pot total to build crowd excitement.

• Add lights for extra flair.
