    I want to thank you for such a fun an interesting contest. It took a lot of time for you to do and it is much appreciated. This has to be one of the top contests ever put on on this site.

    I agree, thanks for the contest! And I have to ask, what was the hint we were supposed to be looking for in the last reel? we had seen that combination of symbols show up before, so I gotta say I was confused what the hint was. Or maybe the winner of that will tell us what it was.

    Alright- i'll have to go with option A, the one coin option. Thank for the fun contest, I think it's safe to say that we all enjoyed it. However, now I have a question- do I only get one guess for this spin!

    Best contest I ever seen. Thanks a million!

    I think I had the most guesses overall and yet I still lost :(

    Do I get a consolidatory pat on the back? :D

    Hello Slot Players!

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Thank You To Everyone For Participating, and for your kind comments.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Coin Talk member Zachkeaton is 'Jackpot Qualified' for our final spin tonight!

    ----------------------------------------------------

    For those who have asked, the slot machine is a 'Continental' by Bally.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Today I was reviewing the Reel Guesses for the Contest-Within-A-Contest. :kewl:

    I was trying to figure out WHY no one had correctly guessed the symbols for Reel #3. :scratch:

    And trying to decide what to do with the small prize waiting for the winner. :cool:

    And in double-checking the guesses, I discovered something... well... embarrassing! :eek:

    After softmentor posted his first guess for Reel #3, I replied that Reel #3 was the reel that Porche2007 had incorrectly mapped. :yes:

    However, I misread my notes. :eek: The reel that Porsche2007 had mapped incorrectly was actually Reel #2. :desk:

    Since our main contest has ended, I think the only fair thing to do is split the prize among everyone who participated in the Contest-Within-A-Contest. :thumb:

    This includes softmentor, wiggam007 and most importantly Porsche2007 for correctly mapping three reels and doing so quicker than I did in creating this contest.
    Please send your mailing addresses by Private Message -- even if you have already done so for another prize -- so that I will remember to mail these out after the weekend.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now, on to today's 'Jackpot Qualified' spin for contestant Zachkeaton...

    [​IMG]

    For those who can not view images, the result was: ORANGE ORANGE PLUM BAR


    A video of the reels spinning and stopping should be available at this link. The file name is 'Spin 5-31':

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to family obligations, it will be Monday before I can access the safe deposit box and mail the final prizes to Zachkeaton, softmentor, wiggam007 and Porsche2007.
    A message will be posted here and tracking numbers will be sent by Private Message at that time. Once again, thank you to everyone for participating.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just for fun, I took a roll of quarters and spun the reels 6 more times with 6 coins per spin, just to see if we missed any payoffs.

    If you want to peek at the results, look for the file name 'Peekaboo' at the link below:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A New Contest Awaits - 'Spin To Win' - with different odds, different prizes and a different machine.

    An announcement will be posted in this thread, as soon as I work out the details
