This is a command-line slot machine game built in Python. It simulates a simple 3x3 slot machine with symbols A, B, C, and D, each having different probabilities and payout values. The player can deposit money, place bets on up to 3 lines, and spin the machine to try their luck.
main()— Entry point of the program.deposit()— Asks the user how much money they want to deposit.get_number_of_lines()— Asks the user how many lines they want to bet on (1–3).get_bet()— Asks the user how much they want to bet per line.get_slot_machine_spin()— Randomly generates slot symbols based on symbol weights.check_winnings()— Checks if the user has won based on matching lines.print_slot_machine()— Displays the slot machine outcome in a 3x3 format.spin()— Coordinates the betting and spinning logic.
- Deposit: The user starts by depositing a certain amount of money.
- Bet: The user chooses how many lines to bet on (up to 3) and how much to bet per line.
- Spin: The slot machine generates random symbols based on predefined symbol frequencies.
- Payout: If all symbols in a selected line match, the player wins a payout based on the symbol’s value.
- Repeat: The user can continue playing until they run out of money or choose to quit.
| Symbol | Count (Weight) | Value (Multiplier) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2 | 5 |
| B | 4 | 4 |
| C | 6 | 3 |
| D | 8 | 2 |
- Symbols with higher values are less likely to appear.
- Winning a line pays:
symbol value * bet amount.
