The rules

You will need 3 people to run the stall; the human part of the human fruit machine.
The 3 people sit side by side behind a table.
Each person places one of the small wooden drawers in front of them on the table.
Each person has a cotton bag with 3 pieces of fruit inside, one of each type.
They sit with the bag on their lap with one hand inside it.
When a player wants to play, they are asked to put a coin in the coin pot & ring the bell. This begins the game.
When each person running the stool hears the bell they place their hand on one of the pieces of fruit inside their bag. Together they count to 3 aloud & on 3 place whatever fruit they have in their hand in the wooden box on the table.
The combination of fruit is checked to determine if a prize has been won.
If it is a winning combination a prize is put in the prize drawer & the bell is rung.
