Yahtzee Slot Machines
I spent countless hours playing Yahtzee with my mom when I was a kid. She’s gone now, but the game remains. But no one else in my family likes to play. So I was excited to learn about the existence of Yahtzee slot machines. It’s not the same as playing the real game with my mom, but I like slots games and gambling, so it’s fun to combine that memory with one of my other interests.
If you’re not familiar with Yahtzee, it’s a dice game marketed by Milton Bradley. You roll five dice and form the equivalent of poker hands. You get a certain number of points for each “hand” that you create, and you record those on a score sheet.
A Yahtzee is the highest scoring combination in the game, and it’s five of a kind. Several different versions of Yahtzee were released throughout the years, including Word Yahtzee, Triple Yahtzee, and Challenge Yahtzee. The original game is still available at online game stores, Walmart, and Amazon. It’s not expensive, and if you’ve never played, give it a try. You might really enjoy it.
In the Yahtzee slots game, instead of rolling dice, you spin reels. The symbols on the reels are of course made up of the faces of the six-sided dice used in a traditional Yahtzee game.
The slot machine game has three reels and a bonus game. In some variations of the Yahtzee slot machine game, a character named Mr. Pips acts as the wild symbol. When he shows up, you get to play bonus games and win extra credits.
The slot machine version of Yahtzee is a product designed and marketed by Mikohn Gaming, one of the largest slot machine manufacturers in the world.
Where Can You Find the Yahtzee Slots Game?
Actually finding a Yahtzee slot machine in a casino can be a tricky thing. The days of boardgames and family games seem to have passed the world by, and many casinos prefer to include more modern brands of slot machines, like The Apprentice slots or Wheel of Fortune slots.
I’ve seen numerous discussion threads on gambling forums and question and answer sites where people were looking for a place to play Yahtzee slots. The only thing I can add is that if you want to play Yahtzee slots, then mention it to the casino management. Or write a letter. Casino management will be more likely to respond to a letter, even if it’s a short one, than they will to an offhand comment about a game that you want to play.
As far as online versions of the Yahtzee slot machine game go, I don’t know of any Internet casinos which offer this game. It seems like a no-brainer property to launch, but I guess they’d have to get the rights, and maybe the online casinos don’t think it’s going to get enough play to make it a priority.
And if you’re looking for strategy advice for how to win at Yahtzee slot machines, I have the same advice for you here that I have on most of my other pages. Get lucky. And have fun.
Yahtzee (the original game, not the slot machine) is also available at a freeslots & free game site called Pogo.com. It’s worth checking out.
