Payment and play rules

  • A fortune message is a possible outcome instead of a pickup.
  • It can break during play and drop pickups or its final item.
  • Its own payout-related destruction does not damage Isaac.

Before you spend

Consider it when Soul Hearts or a useful pocket item would help more than a random Slot Machine reward.

Possible payouts

These are possible results, not a promise that every payment gives a reward.

  • Soul Hearts
  • Trinkets
  • Cards or runes
  • A fortune message or seed

Final payout or milestone

Crystal Ball can appear as the rare final collectible payout.

What happens if you bomb it?

Bombing the machine can produce pickups, a pill, a trinket, or a chest. It does not guarantee Crystal Ball.
