## What is Penny’s 21?

Spin the reels. Lock your cards. Build the perfect 21. Push your luck for bigger wins, but go one over and the hand is gone.

NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES.
Penny’s 21 is pure arcade fun. Credits are your score, nothing more. There’s no real money, no credits to buy, and no ads. Run out of credits and Penny tops you back up so you can keep playing.

HOW TO PLAY
• Choose your wager, then spin all five reels. Every reel lands on a playing card. Lock the cards you want to keep and re-spin the rest as you build toward exactly 21.
• You have up to five spins to create the perfect hand. Stop early and play it safe, or keep spinning for higher payouts. Every decision matters.

COLLECT THE SET
Every winning 21 helps complete Penny’s four collectible challenge cards:

• Blackjack – Any winning 21
• Quick Draw – Reach 21 using only two or three cards
• Charlie – Reach 21 using all five cards
• Lucky Penny – Reach 21 using all five Spades

Complete all four and your finishing hand earns a powerful 5× payout bonus before the collection resets.

FEATURES
• Inspired by a real vintage penny arcade machine
• Fast, strategic gameplay with up to five spins per hand
• Six payout tiers with bonus multipliers
• Four collectible challenge cards to complete
• Run out of credits and Penny tops you back up, so the fun never stops.
• Game Center leaderboards
• Lifetime statistics and achievements
• Alternate app icon to unlock

A PENNY ARCADE REIMAGINED
The original machine used rolling balls to award playing cards. Penny’s 21 reimagines that experience with spinning reels while preserving the strategy, suspense, and excitement that made the original game so memorable.

Whether you’re chasing the perfect 21, completing your next collection, or climbing the leaderboards, every hand feels like stepping up to a vintage penny arcade cabinet.
