A 5-line game which gives the players a chance to see a flamingo limbo. Three Jackpot Limbo symbols anywhere in the pay window activates the bonus round. The player hears "It's limbo time" and then sees a pink flamingo limbo in the Dotmation display above the winnings. Player may wager some credits and limbo. Player has the option of holding their winnings and quitting at the beginning of any round, or continuing for larger prizes at the potential cost of a portion of their bonus winnings. Three successful limbos in a single bonus round and the players win the limbo contest. The limbo contest lasts for up to three rounds. Hard game to find because available to casinos as a lease (usually not sold). Available in a 5 coin version.

Jackpot Limbo with reel symbols of palm trees, beach balls, yellow suns and tropical drinks. This five-line game gives reel players a high hit frequency. All it takes is three Jackpot Limbo symbols anywhere in the pay window to activate the bonus round. The player hears "It's limbo time!" and then sees a pink flamingo limbo in the Dotmation display above the spinning reels.

Before Round 1 begins, the flamingo walks on screen to give the player his options. First, the flamingo presents Option 1: a bonus amount, where the player can take the bonus by hitting the "BET ONE" button and return to the base game; and Option 2: an entry fee amount where the player `pays' a small entry fee for the limbo contest and could win a bigger credit bonus than offered in Option 1. When the player selects Option 2, the steel pan music begins and the flamingo gets ready to limbo. Should the flamingo make it under the limbo stick successfully in Round 1, the player is presented with the same two options -- he can take those winnings or spend some bonus credits to enter Round 2. If the flamingo makes it under the limbo stick again, the same options are presented -- take the winnings or wager some credits and limbo. Three successful limbos in a single bonus round and the player wins the limbo contest. The limbo contest lasts for up to three rounds.
