Slot Machine is a 1-Player minigame in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

The player uses a ! Block to try and match three symbols. The number of Coins associated with each symbol include 20 for the Hat, 10 for the Treasure Chest, 8 for the Fire Flower, 6 for the Mushroom, 5 for the Coin Bag, 3 for the Koopa Shell, and 1 for the Coin symbol. The Coins are not received automatically, so collecting them is required. Slot Machine uses a unique victory theme; however, if the result is the Hat, the fanfare from earning a new record or meeting a "perfect" condition plays. The player loses if they either do not line three matching symbols or if the object is not met within five minutes. Losing does not take away any Coins from the player.

Slot Machine costs 200 Coins to buy at the Mini-Game House when it becomes available.

Notes[edit]

  • Unlike other minigames, starting Slot Machine from the explanation screen or the Mini-Game House cuts to black, followed by a fade-in, rather than fading through white.
  • The Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online port has a glitch in which the texture behind the slot machine does not load properly, sometimes resulting in no background, or textures loading from other minigames, like Face Lift.
