Jukebox Reels
Drop a coin in the slot and three records spin up on the turntables. When they settle, each label shows a picture from the diner. Line up three of a kind, or catch a hit record, and the jukebox pays out.
Choose how many coins per play, then press the button.

How it plays
Each of the three records has 20 grooves, and every groove carries one picture. When you press play, each record stops on one groove chosen at random with equal chances, completely independently of the others and of anything that happened before. There is one line, straight across the middle.
Only the best combination is paid. A single hit record gives your coins back, which we count as a stake returned rather than a win. Pies and milkshakes count together for the mixed line as long as all three labels show one or the other.
