Wooden Boy Guide
Wooden Boy was a mischievous puppet who had trouble following directions and doing the right thing. He got himself, and his beloved Geppetto, into all kinds of trouble as he ran around looking for some way to become a real boy. And, as you’ll remember, his nose grew longer with each lie he told. So we’ll leave you with a simple truth – this slot game is a good, honest way to have some fun and maybe win a few bucks.
Wooden Boy features 20 lines of action and bets from 5 cents to $50 per line, plus a Random Progressive Jackpot.
How to Play Wooden Boy
Hold on to your nose and get the adventure started by choosing how many lines to play (from 1-20), selecting a bet per line amount (from .05 to $50) then hitting “Spin”.

The story behind the game
Pinocchio first poked his nose into popular culture in 1883, in a book called, appropriately enough, The Adventures of Pinocchio. Of course since then he’s appeared in everything from movies to lunch boxes. But it was that original story that gave us all the classic stuff – the growing nose, telling lies and wanting to be a real boy. Interestingly, that original story also features all kinds of crazy stuff most of us have forgotten, like an enormous serpent that tries to munch the little puppet, but then laughs so hard at the panicky Pinocchio, he dies from a burst artery. If you’re sitting there saying “I remember that part of the story”, you better go look in the mirror, because I bet your nose is about a foot long by now.
