Trudy's Surprise
Trudy's Surprise is a slot machine daily that first became active on July 18, 2015. It appears at the top of each page of the Neopets website, and it does not disappear until it is played. After it is played, it will not appear again for 24 hours. Because it gives out Neopoints, users are not allowed to play Trudy's Surprise on their side accounts. Users can disable Trudy's Surprise on their side accounts by checking the Block Trudy's Surprise checkbox on the site preferences page.
The amount of Neopoints that can be won from Trudy's Surprise increases with each consecutive day that the game is played, up to 25 days. On day 26, the consecutive day counter is reset. The consecutive day counter also resets each time the user goes a full day without playing the game.
Gameplay[edit]
To play this game, the user simply needs to click the Play button. After clicking the button, the reels will spin and the user will be rewarded with Neopoints based on how many matching symbols they received, as well as how many consecutive days that they have played the game. Sometimes, when a user matches no symbols, they will receive a Back Luck Bonus instead of their normal winnings. This Bad Luck Bonus can only be obtained once a week.

Trivia[edit]

- The following introductory text appeared alongside Trudy's Surprise on the first day of its release:
| A strange feeling nagged Trudy, a curious Ixi, for days. A forewarning of doom perhaps, she thought. Soon after, on one of her long, solitary walks that spanned the length and breadth of Neopia, something strange happened. She heard an unusual rustle in the bushes. Curious, she took a peek. Hidden among the bushes was a slot machine! ‘Ka-ching, ka-ching,’ it seemed to whisper. Trudy hesitated only for a moment before she succumbed to its call. She pressed the button on the machine, unsure of what she may unleash. To her amazement, she was awarded Neopoints. Trudy fell to the ground and cried with joy. She could finally afford a fancy frock for the ball. From then on, Trudy took more walks, hoping luck would smile upon her again. And it did. She discovered she could play the machine once every day to win prizes. With each consecutive day, the number of Neopoints awarded increased. Occasionally, the machine was extra generous and gave her a Gift Box. On the 25th day of playing, she won a phenomenal number of Neopoints! After 25 days, things changed, leaving Trudy puzzled. This FAQ, helped her make sense of everything, though. |
