The Luck Has Been Pressed Again

by Alxala

I was bored so I decided to play more Press Your Luck: The Computer Game, and I managed to win two more games without picking up a single Whammy:

I also won a total of $18,962 in cash in prizes, and here are my winning results for those two games:

One of the prizes I won is a Flokati rug. However; the game decided to misspell ‘Flokati’ as ‘Flotaki’ which I’d thought that was hilarious because it sounded some kind of word from Japan. 😛 Anyways, all the cash and prizes I’ve won today along with $25,012 that I won two months ago gives me a grand total of $43,974!

Time To Press My Luck *again*

I was bored so I decided to torture myself with some more Press Your Luck, but this time I’m contestant #1 challenging against two new contestants named Jessica and Finn:

You bet your ass I’m in first place with $2,745 after the end of Round 1!

That means I get to play last in the final round of this game. Jessica is in second place with $1,850 and one Whammy, and Finn is in third with no money and one Whammy. Therefore; Finn plays first with 8 spins, then Jessica will play second with 5 spins. Here’s what they got so far in the final round:

Finn was close to being out of the game with three Whammies after losing roughly $11,000 between the two that he landed on. Jessica picked up a second Whammy after losing $9,300 in cash, but she somehow recovered with a bunch of cash and a trip to Freeport valued at $2,711.

Luckily for me, I managed to avoid getting a single Whammy and used up all four of my spins to stop at a couple cash values and a few prizes including a trip to the Fiji Islands and an African Safari. Hooray!

I win the game with $16,712!

Not only did I win again, I’m finally in the Press Your Luck Hall of Fame!

All these prizes total $12,262 combined with $4,450 in cash along with $8,300 that I’ve won previously gives me a grand total of $25,012! That was fun but man, I still wish all this money was real. 🙂

It’s Time To Press Your Luck!

Last night I was playing an old computer game called Press Your Luck, which is based on an old game show starring Peter Tomarken. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:

As you can see, there’s lots of cash and prizes on the board, also some Whammies which will take all your money away. I was playing as Contestant #2 against two computer players in this computer game.

This keeps track of the players’ spins, money and Whammies (and if you hit four of them, you’re out of the game just like Kip.) I passed my last two spins over to Olivia in the final round of the game.

I managed to avoid hitting a single Whammy throughout the whole game and got a dastardly close victory with $8,300 in cash because Olivia picked up $500 + an extra spin, a Mexican cruise valued at $3,976, and a Heritage Tour valued at $2,634 which that wasn’t enough for her to win the game.

Yeah, it’s good to be the champion of this computer game. I just wish all that cash I’ve won was real because that’d be nice. 🙂
