A novelty electric and digital alarm clock with or without a radio is configured as a gambling slot machine or a "one-armed bandit" and computerized to perform various functions. A lever arm on one side sets the alarm by being moved forward. The alarm clock has a red dome light on top which lights up when the preset awakening time is reached. A first display screen comprising light emitting diodes with or without light pipes, electroluminescent devices, or a liquid crystal display initially shows three different fruits in color, but shows three sevens when the alarm is initiated. One or a plurality of switches on the back of the clock permit the selection of a vocal phrase, a tune, a ringing bell or a radio program which will be activated as the alarm. The payout chute at the front and bottom of the clock displays metal or plastic coins under a transparent cover to simulate a payout chute which lights up or flashes when the alarm is activated. Four push buttons on one side of the dome light offer selections of the clock's time in hour and minute, and the setting of the alarm time. The dome light also functions as a snooze push button permitting the cancellation of the alarm for a predetermined time period before the alarm is again activated. Returning the lever arm back to a vertical position shuts off the alarm system.
