Press Your Luck is a 5 reel 5 line slot which means that there are 5 reels to form your winning combinations on, and 5 times more chances of winning if you play on all five paylines. The coin denominations are from 0.01 to 5 credits, with a wager of 1 to 5 coins per payline.
The game also features the wild symbol, a Big Board Bonus symbol, a Slam Stop Bonus and a Press Your Luck logo. If you line up 5 wild symbols at the maximum bet, you hit the highest win of 25,000 coins. The wild symbols substitute for all other symbols except the two bonus symbols.
The Big Board Bonus is triggered when you line up 3 Big Board Bonus symbols on an active payline. Then you move over to the next stage of the bonus where you find a variety of bonus awards on the screen and have to press stop, to stop the flashing lights on a bonus award. This is where you press your luck. After the first spin, some awards are replaced by a Whammy. You can go on and try more spins; however, if you land on the Whammy you lose all your winnings. So the bonus ends either when you decide to take your winnings or land on a Whammy.
Press Your Luck has such an array of exciting features and prizes, give it a try.

Description of Press Your Luck
A decent computer version of an oldie TV game show of the same name. Press Your Luck is best described as Wheel of Fortune meets Jeopardy!: a show that pits one champion against two challengers and requires both luck and knowledge to win. A game is divided into 4 rounds, the first and third being standard trivia sessions.
Play Press Your Luck Game
The questions usually test common knowledge, or is a survey question. If you answer the question correctly, you get up to 3 spins. A wrong answer gives you no spins, but you won't get penalized. Each 'spin' gave you a chance to play at the big 'Press Your Luck gameboard'.
This huge board, which was what the show was famous for, has 18 different positions. Each square has 3 different cash values, prizes, or a Whammy. The value of each square changes every second or so. The board would spin, and you can stop it by slamming a plunger. When the board is stopped, you'll get whatever you stop on. If you land on a Whammy, you lose everything you have accumulated up to that point in the game. Four whammies at any time will kick you out. The winner, of course, is the one with the most money at the end of the game.
Although holding a valuable license, GameTek produced only a lackluster computer version which doesn't do the show justice. The funny animation of the Whammy is missing, and the questions are neither exciting nor challenging. The fun of watching the contestants' expressions as they frantically use the plunger is also missing, since the graphics are quite poor in the game.
This is simply one of the worst computer versions of game shows ever made. Fans of the show should rent videos to watch instead of playing this terrible conversion, and anyone who has never seen it probably never will.

This game might have a couple of issues for you unless you download it, so I would suggest doing that instead of playing it in your browser. However, the game runs way too fast(as of DOSbox version 0.74). To solve this problem, type in 'cycles=fixed 1500' before the game. That may seem like a very slow speed, but trust me, that's what the game likes to be run at.

This game is ridiculous - the show was way better. The Whammy animation is atrocious and the controls don't really make sense. Gameplay is much smoother (e.g., not as frantically fast) if you slow your emulator's CPU down to about 2300 cycles.
