Introduction
Are reels spinning too fast or not fast enough? No worries in either case with Sci Fi Buddy by your side!
This is one helpful tool for Pogo™ Sci-Fi Slots players; an auto that seems out of this world!

The Interface (GUI)
Getting to know the Sci Fi Buddy interface is easy. The prominent feature is the Display
area that provides a visual reference to what's happening on the game itself. Next is the Stats area where you can always be informed as to the number of spins taken,
best score, and tokens earned. Underneath these are the interactive buttons. The Autoplay button will begin the autoplay and can be stopped at any time.
Similarly, the GUI can be Collapsed or Expanded at any time. The Show hint and Play Hint will do exactly that.
Sci Fi Buddy also lists a few menu options:
Options, Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options allows you to access Sci Fi Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Sci Fi Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Sci Fi Buddy. It contains backdoors links to each of Pogo's Sci Fi room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Sci Fi Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Troubleshoot and Bug Report feature to use when Sci Fi Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

HELP!
It won't recognize the game window

Now make sure that all the system requirements for the Buddy are met. These include Windows, Internet Explorer, and appropriate display settings.
It won't work
