Prepare the common space
Place the manual reel rack within reach of every seat. Pour the score coins into a shared bowl and sort the six badge types beside it. Every player takes an empty tray and a face-up Strike card; the coins begin in the common supply, not in individual starting balances.
Keep the table's round marker separate from the coins. It tracks completed rounds rather than points, so moving it should never change a player's collection.
Set the familiar opening
Read each reel from its upper window downwards. The left begins Cherries, Lemon, Grapes; the middle begins Grapes, Bell, Seven; the right begins Seven, Coin, Cherries. All three strips follow the same six-symbol loop even though their starting positions differ.
Choose a first player, then travel clockwise. A round includes everybody once. Only after the last seat has collected do you advance the marker; six rounds give each person exactly six turns.
Complete the sequence together
A player moves one reel one position, selects a row or diagonal, considers Strike and collects the matching award. The next seat inherits the physical arrangement. Do not restore the opening between players.
Use the two-seat practice table to watch that handover happen. Its twelve alternating turns demonstrate a complete two-person session. For three or four people, the written procedure stays the same and adds the other seats to each round.
