Tweet2Play launches Slot Machine on Twitter

Red 5 Games, an Austin-based casual games developer, has launched Tweet2Play for Twitter, a classic style three-reel slot machine game that plays in the 140 character text-based world of Twitter.

Here’s how it works: users follow Tweet2Play on Twitter, wait for instructions from the site and start off with 25 free “spins.” To play those spins, users will send a direct message to Tweet2Play with the word “SPIN” and the site makes a spin for you and sends you the result. Every time you win, the site sends a link with a chance to win a real prize.

Users can earn extra spins by including “#Tweet2Play” in an update to get credit. The site will send users a note with a thank-you and the number of free spins it has added. The number of free spins per update is determined by the number of followers you have. Getting help and figuring out your ranking is handled by sending direct messages to Tweet2Play with the commands “HELP or “RANK” to get the desired result.
