You need to have only one life bar (it can be 1% to 6%) and then try luck on a machine (personally, it was on a machine with Kleptolisk)

Hello there! I've gotten a whammie myself. I was at full health, and on a health machnine.
But, that is what whammie does. It reduces your health, no matter how large it is, do 1 life bar. In case you didn't know.
