🎰 What Is a Slot Machine?

A slot machine is a gambling device where players spin reels with various symbols. If certain symbol combinations land, the player wins a payout. They’re also known as one-armed bandits or pokies (especially in Australia).

🛠️ How Do Slots Work?

• Reels: Typically 3 or 5 spinning reels, either physical or virtual.
• Symbols: Icons on each reel — could be cherries, bars, numbers, wilds, scatters, etc.
• Paylines: Lines across the reels that determine winning combinations. Modern slots can have 20, 50, or even hundreds of paylines.
• Betting: You can choose how many lines to bet on and how much to wager per line.

⚙️ Random Number Generator (RNG)

Modern slot machines use RNG software to ensure random outcomes. Each spin is independent, and previous results don’t affect the next one.

💸 Types of Slots
