Other dub names: Scoop (4Kids), The One-Armed Bandit (Studio 100)
Krash and Chiko are taking carrots from Barry's vegetable garden. When they pass by Pin's house, they see that he is hitting some kind of apparatus with a sledgehammer. Pin explains that this is a slot machine. He made it to have fun and win carrots, but lost his stuff in it. Krash also wants to win a carrot and puts one carrot from a wheelbarrow into the slot machine and loses. The excitement quickly captures the rabbit, and he loses all the carrots in the slot machine along with the wheelbarrow. While he is beating the slot machine in a rage, Wally comes and decides to play too.
Dokko looks through the telescope and sees Wally carrying things from his house. He says that he lost Dokko's net to the slot machine and is going to recoup it. Wally loses everything, and Dokko comes up with a system for winning. They decide to play by raising the stakes. Krash, Chiko, Wally, and Dokko pull things out of their houses and throw them into the slot machine. Krash presses the lever, and a winning combination finally falls out. The slot machine gives out one carrot.
Dokko attacks the slot machine in a rage, but he is dragged away by his friends. Pin explains to Krash that the slot machine cannot be disassembled since he wanted to play fair, making it impossible to get their stuff back. Krash throws the carrot he won into the machine, turns the lever and wins again. He starts repeating this until the evening. Wally offers to share and eat the carrot, but it's too late. Krash loses again and powerlessly knocks on the slot machine.
Tropes:
- Absurdly High-Stakes Game: You can throw any objects from carrots to telescopes into the slot machine.
- All or Nothing: Either you bet everything and get carrots or you get nothing. However, in the heat of the game, everyone forgot that the slot machine can only give out carrots and lose pretty much everything they had.
- An Aesop: Overall, the episode discusses gambling addiction and how some risks are just not worth of going through.
- Christianity is Catholic: When Krash presses the lever, Pin reads the Catholic prayer "Gloria Patri".
- Continuity Nod: When Dokko collects his things, he removes a picture from the episode "Beaty" from the wall.
- Downer Ending: The heroes end up giving almost all of their possessions and only win a carrot in return... which Krash ends up losing to the slot machine soon anyway.
