I like it! It reminds me of an early PopCap game. However, if you spam spacebar after starting the reels, you can essentially freeze the first reel.
After that, its only a matter of time before the diamond shows up on the second, and well.. Yeep. Lots of money for me!

I half expected there to be a random option. Just pull the lever and watch your money go away like the real slots.
And on traditional slots, the active lines increase with the bet, almost like a multiplier. But you increase the chances for free. Which is good for the consumer :)

Maybe add it in as an option?
good work!

Tetsuo that's really interesting. I've never played a real slot machine and the ones on the internet that don't involve real money are derpy from the bunch that I played before I started the project. I'm always looking for things to add to the Shop and buying lines could be a possibility.

I never wrote down the immediate stop trick in my fix log, and when I updated it, I had a lot to do and it slipped. The trick happens because the cycle changes every 0.1 seconds. Pulling the lever MAY give you a chance to stop it depending on when you are in that 0.1 second window. Sometimes it misses and the reel flips to the next icon. Shit it would be nothing to add a slight cool down for the lever. :/

I dug into a bullshit amount of research about how these things work. I decided to remove the odds so that the player can enjoy winning with their own skill of stopping the reels as well as testing their own natural luck with stopping the reel within the 0.1 second window. Normally a real slot machine just picks them at random with a chance that you win only SOME of the time so that you have the illusion that you can win. Truth is you can't and the odds of getting anything remotely better than breaking even is 8000 to 1. I didn't want to make a bullshit game that just takes away your virtual money, no one would play it.

The inner workings is massively procedural so if you have suggestions, I want to hear them.

I like this game. I always liked a little casino stuff here and there.
Especially poker.

Pretty fun, my father will love it :D
