The Can Em All slot machine pays from $10 up to $200,000, and the whole tier list is printed on the reel itself, so you can read the odds by looking at it. Small payouts come up far more often than the big ones, which is why the machine converts a chunk of cash into upgrades quickly. The 999x jackpot exists, but nobody has ever hit it — including the developers.

Can Em All slot machine: what the payout board shows

The machine arrived with the full release, and the developer mentioned adding it while the demo was still out. Its payout board lists every tier as a label on the reel, so the machine explains itself once you look at the panel.

The payout table, tier by tier

TierPayout
Small+$10, +$50, +$200, +$250
Mid+$1,000, +$3,500
Shiny (yellow)+$8,000
Top+$200,000
DOUBLE MONEY+$500 DOUBLE MONEY, +$1,000 DOUBLE MONEY, and others like them

The DOUBLE MONEY labels are the ones to look for. They pay twice the amount shown, so a DOUBLE MONEY $1,000 is worth $2,000, and they appear on several tiers.

Because the small payouts land far more often than the big ones, the machine is a reliable way to convert idle cash into upgrade money rather than a way to get rich.

A payout poster on the factory wall lists the tiers +$10, +$50, +$200, +$250, +$1,000, +$3,500, SHINY $8,000 and +$200,000, with several DOUBLE MONEY variants, while the vacuum nozzle blows purple, yellow, green and blue cans into the round transport tube opening.
Every tier is printed on the board, so the odds are readable in game.

The 999x jackpot is not a goal

The 999x jackpot is effectively unobtainable. An in-game email says the developers have never managed to get it themselves.

  1. There is no achievement attached to it.
  2. There is no reward for hitting it.
  3. No tier in the payout table depends on it.

It is a tease rather than a target, and the full achievement list — none of which mentions it — is in the achievements guide.

When the machine is worth using

The slot machine is a side activity, not a main income source.

  1. Use it when you have cash you are not spending on upgrades yet.
  2. Use it between trucks, when the factory is busy anyway.
  3. Do not build a strategy around the big tiers. The frequent small payouts are what actually add up.

What the machine gives you is money on top of what the factory already produces. The four levers that raise the base income are in the production guide.

How it fits with a factory reset

The machine's payouts are income like any other, so a permanent earnings multiplier applies to them too. That is what makes the reset worth doing: the same slot machine that pays $10 pays $20 after one earnings upgrade, and $40 after two.

  1. Take the ending first.
  2. Sell the factory and buy the earnings multipliers.
  3. Come back and the machine is worth noticeably more, exactly like the rest of the factory.

How the multipliers stack is in the prestige guide.
