Putt for Cash
Putt for Fun
•The Putt for Fun gaming screens are essentially the same in design however rather than play for cash the objective is to accumulate the highest score. All
references to cash and monetary amounts are also removed from the game screens
Play your first shot, the hole to hit will be
illuminated (e.g. No 1 above). The number of
points which will be awarded if successful will be
displayed
Each game has 10 shots with a maximum timing
of 20 seconds per shot, with the exception of the
10th ball which can be replayed until a hole is hit
If the putt is successful the amount of points
awarded will be displayed at the top of the
screen
If the ball misses all holes and returns to be
player, it becomes the next shot and a new hole
will be illuminated
Based on the amount of points scored the
amount of cash available to win will be displayed
as ‘winnings’
According to points scored and accuracy of
putting, the ‘bonus hole pot’ will also accumulate
for the opportunity to win with the 10th ball
