You could win that one though. It was time-able iirc.
19Yeah well tell that to me when I was 13.
28how do you time something when it uses a random delay?
20RNG manipulation to get the initial delay to be exactly what you want. Or just wait a few cycles to see what time table you've been given before you hit the button to stop the scroll.

It's so easy to get free guys in Mario 3 that these were kind of pointless. The ones where you could win a hammer bros suit, on the other hand... Those were valuable.
3I feel like I only ever won this like 2 or 3 times total
2At least you control where it stops and can use skill to always get what you want; unlike a real slot machine.
0Nope, the last reel is completely random since the stop variation spans the whole line.
