Mario Roulette is an uncommon Japan-only medal game developed by Konami and released in 1991, being one of the first medal games from the Mario series. The graphics are based heavily on Super Mario World and the gameplay in the Bonus Stage. Little has to say about this slot machine.

Release history

Little can be said about the development of this "obscure" game in the Mario series. All that is known is that it was developed by Nintendo in partnership with Konami (who made the machines) and was released sometime in the year 1991. Each machine cost around 320,000 yen. She was also involved in developing the company Toshiba, which manufactured the monitors. Due to the fact it was released only in Japan and more than 20 years, today the few still active gaming machines have become a rarity.

Gameplay

The game has a simple gameplay, explained in a video on present machine instructing the controls and how to play. The gameplay is basically simple: Mario is the main character that appears throughout the game mounted on Yoshi. The game consists of a wheel (similar to that seen in phase Bonus Stage Super Mario Word) with 8 black squares, showing a icon of an item within like the Star or the Fire Flower, turning beside one at the center beside one that is in the center and stopped at first. To make them stop os line, the player must press the only button on the machine. After pressing the button, the icons that were stop spinning around, showing the items that were soteados, and then the icon that was standing begins to randomly select the icon that is at the center, and the player must press the button again to stop it . If the player manages to equal that in the third stop icons on the same line or make the central icon for an image that shows Peach, the player wins and receive as a prize some medals (a kind of currency that is often exchanged for prizes or to play again) that vary with the number of icons lined. If player can not align the icons so right, or center stop icon into a picture that shows Bowser, he loses the round. After that, you have a cutscene that shows Mario riding on Yoshi traversing a scenario (similar to the gameplay of Super Mario World) which is a kind of "loading" after this cutscene, the game begins again.
