Today in C#, i will teach you how to create a program called Slot Machine Game. Now, let's start this tutorial! Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application in C# for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application.

The slot machines is a game of chance , many different outcomes will appear when the player press the play button. In this program, we draw an array of nine shapes ,VB will automatically labeled the shapes as shape1(0), shape1(1), shape1(2), shape1(3), shape1(4), shape1(5), shape1(6), shape1(7) and shape1(8) respectively. Arrange the shapes into three rows. Write the code so that only three types of shapes appear randomly. Here we want to show only square, oval and rectangle. The appearance can be altered at runtime using the Shape properties. For example, Shape1(o).Shape=0 means it is a rectangle, Shape1(o).Shape=1 is a square and Shape1(o).Shape=2 is an oval shape. The color of the shapes can be customized using the FillColor property of the shape. For example, Shape1(0).Fillcolor=vbRed will give the shape a red color. The design interface is shown below:

The Design Interface

Randomness can be achieved by using the Rnd function. We also insert a timer to create the animated effect of a slot machine. The time interval is set to 10 so that the shapes change at a fast rate thus creates the illusion of animation. The program also uses a variable x to control the timer so that it can be stopped when x attain a certain value, otherwise the program will loop forever.

The purpose of this program is just to show how different shapes can appear randomly, therefore many advanced features of a slot machine such as the amount of bet are not programmed here. Those features are available in the professional slot machine.

The Code

When you run the program, you will see the following runtime UI:

The Runtime UI

Increase Productivity, Reduce Costs

Wouldn’t it be great to speed up development time and get new games to market more quickly, to make changes to games early on in the design process where the cost of changes is minimized, and reduce maths errors and rework? Slot Designer provides all this and more.

Improve Game Performance

Everyone wants high performing games, but how do we achieve it within realistic commercial time frames? How do we measure and optimize the player experience? Slot Designer provides numerous tools to enable game designers to improve performance while actually reducing development time.

Improve Communication

How Slot Machines Work

Share your vision for the game with a working, playable, prototype. Simple to build, yet customers, whether external sales or internal marketing, engineering, game designers or artists will understand the game more effectively than ever before.

Integrate With Existing Processes

Slot Machine Design Software

You need tools that fit the way you work, not the other way around. Slot Designer works the way you need it, complementing Excel or integrating with your own custom tools as required. With a wide range of functionality you can pick and choose what you need to improve your process.
