Yes, a rock paper scissors slot machine exists, and it is a physical cabinet. Aruze Gaming makes Rock Paper Scissors™ Instant Win: you beat the machine’s hand to spin a prize wheel, a tie steps the prize level up, and the wheel holds five prize levels including two jackpots. News reports placed it at Circa in Las Vegas in October 2022 and at Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Wisconsin in April 2023. Online, the games under the same name are instant games from InOut Games and Stake, with a multiplier ladder instead of a wheel.
What Aruze says about its rock paper scissors slot machine
The product page on aruzeglobal.com is short. It promises a jump “from simple hand game to leveled-up Wheel Prize excitement”. The rest is the rules: win a hand to get one of the Wheel Prizes, and a tie result steps up your prize level. Five prize levels sit on the wheel, two of them jackpots. The page lists no return-to-player figure and no bet range.
What players saw at Circa and Potawatomi
Scott Roeben of Vital Vegas played it at Circa in October 2022 (his write-up, 17 October 2022). He counted three machines on the first floor. The details from his visit:
- Denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.
- The Play button places the wager; you then pick a hand, or press it twice to let the machine pick.
- A tie shows “Tie! Prize Level Up” and the wheel values rise, up to five times the starting amounts.
- That day the top prize was over $5,000 and the minor jackpot $258.
He also suspected the odds were not a clean one in three, and wrote as much. Aruze publishes nothing that settles it.
In April 2023 CDC Gaming reported that Potawatomi Casino Hotel had become the first Wisconsin casino to offer the game, describing a 55-inch touchscreen, five wheel prizes with two jackpots, and a rematch on ties (CDC Gaming, 12 April 2023). Both reports are a few years old; ask the casino before you drive there for it.
Rock paper scissors slot game online: what you’ll actually find
There are no reels in any online game we found under this name. We could verify two. InOut Games’ version lists 98% RTP on the studio page, starts its ladder at x1.94, holds your multiplier on a draw and stops at 20 wins, with a free demo on inout.games (full breakdown on our overview). Stake Originals runs its own take: 98.00% RTP, a ladder from 1.96x and a top multiplier of 1,027,604.48x.
People call both “slots” because they sit in a casino lobby next to slots. Mechanically they’re closer to a double-or-nothing ladder.
