The jackpot for three 7's is 100 + | The jackpot for three 7's is 100 + 2×, while the jackpot for three Poké Balls is 100 + x, where x starts at 0, may increase whenever a non-jackpot symbol is lined up, and resets to 0 after every bonus game. | ||
A bonus game is started by winning a jackpot. Lining up three 7's starts a 15-round bonus game, while three Poké Balls will trigger an 8-round bonus. In this bonus game, players attempt to perfectly line up a randomly chosen one of [[Johto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]<!--Yes, even in Celadon-->, and the machine may provide some assistance. Bonus game payouts vary depending on success, as well as the slot machine's speed during bonus games. At the end of a bonus game, the background automatically becomes red. This lets players "chain" together jackpots and bonus games; however, the bonus game difficulty increases (up to a maximum) with each chained jackpot. | A bonus game is started by winning a jackpot.

* The reels do not always stop exactly when the player presses "A". Sometimes they will slip one or two symbols to get another symbol aligned with the first and second reels (and therefore pay out a prize), but following Japanese slot machine regulations, they will never slip for more than 0.19 seconds (four symbols).<ref name="pachislo">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_machine#Japan Wikipedia's page on slot machines]</ref> They will also slip to avoid paying the Jackpot (and any other prizes) too often, but will also slip in favor of the Jackpot on certain spins. They appear to slip far less often in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. | * The reels do not always stop exactly when the player presses "A".
