Game Genre
UK Style AWP (Amusement With Prizes).

You Lucky Barstard! is a simple AWP machine with most of the functionality focused on the familiar nudge and hold functionality. It has one main skill-shot ladder feature.
Game Features
The following is a description of the various wins and features of the game.
Lose
This will spin in a losing reel combination.
Reel Wins and Symbols
This is the simplest and quickest method for the Player to win. The game will spin in the reels, displaying a win on the reels.
Nudges
The game provides the Player the opportunity to nudge a reel. Up to four nudges may be given.
Nudge Gamble
This is a skill stop feature. This enables the Player to gamble up to the four nudges. This is displayed to Player by lighting the Nudge Gamble light and enabling the Gamble button. If the Player clicks the Gamble button, the flashing nudges stop. The Player can then choose to gamble again or use the nudges. The Player must collect their nudges before using them. This stops them gambling for more nudges.
Nudge Repeat
This feature is activated when the Player uses all their current nudges and the game gives a Nudge Repeat. This gives the Player the same amount of their original nudges, again.
Nudge Bank Hold
This feature is activated if the Player chooses to spin without using all their nudges. The unused nudges are carried over to the next spin. This feature is shown to the Player by flashing the nudge bank hold light when the spin button is clicked.
Holds
On a lose or reel win the Player may be offered holds on the next spin. Reel win hold win is treated as a separate feature.
Reel win hold
A Player may hold on a reel win. This will enable him to obtain the same win on the next spin.

The ladder steps are flashed in sequence and the Player has to stop the ladder and win the corresponding amount.
The game may offer the chance to repeat the feature, via a yes/no repeater skill stop.
