“Prospector is a great game. You don't get to see it much. It's super rare. I've probably seen like three different copies of it in my life, so we're lucky to have it here.”
Audrey (host)@ 31:09 — Establishes the rarity and collectibility of Prospector as a classic machine
“Basically, there are only two things you go for. Spinners, once you get the silver bonus up to 10,000, spinners are worth 1,000 a spin. And the other one's bonus.”
