During this stage, your artist should produce initial sketches and wireframes of your slot game to display how the gameplay will progress as the player interacts with it. These drawings will be the basis for the rest of your visual assets. They will be improved upon in later stages of the slot game development process.
In order to play a slot machine, you must first understand the paytable. The pay table lists how much you will receive if the symbols listed on it line up on the payline of the machine. The pay table can be found on the front of the machine, above and below the reels, or in the help menu on video slots.
In addition to understanding the paytable, you should know that modern slot machines use random number generators (RNGs) to select the symbol combinations on each spin. These computer chips retain no memory, so that every spin is independent of those before or after it. This means that any strategies for beating the machine, such as moving on to a different machine after a certain amount of time or after receiving generous payouts, are useless.
