Slot

During this phase, your team creates sketches, wireframes and mockups of the slot game. They also produce the initial game art, such as symbols and backgrounds. These prototypes help the team understand how the finished product will look.

In a slot machine, coins or paper tickets with barcodes are inserted into a slot or designated opening on the machine. The machine then activates a mechanism that spins and rearranges the symbols. If the player hits a winning combination, they receive credits based on the payout schedule. Most slot games have a theme, and the symbols and bonus features are aligned with that theme.

A small amount paid out by a slot machine to keep the player seated and betting. It is often used to prevent players from walking away after losing a large amount of money.

In manufacturing, a machining process where the workpiece is cut by a cutting tool with a circular or elliptical profile that extends to the full diameter of the part. Ideally, chip evacuation is accomplished with each pass. Interrupted cutting is generally discouraged because it ruins the surface finish of the workpiece and wastes time and energy due to the need for coolant/lubrication flushing and restarting the cycle. It also results in less material being removed per unit of time, which is counterproductive to the efficiency of slot machining. Also called slot cut.
