Hi Charles,

Yeah, I hear that one can sometimes find an old coin operated slot 
machine, but that they are rare.  I haven't been to Laughlin since about 
1993.  I do believe that they still had some then.


BTW When I wrote my Windows casino games I had not yet learned how to use 
DirectX joystick input, so the slot machine does not have  the pull the 
joystick like my dos version did.  Now if DirectX also had a coin slot 
option, I would be all set.

They've taken a lot of the fun out of slot machines, especially in 
California the last time I was there.  Instead of placing coins or bills 
into the machine, you press a button for each coin or bill.  Instead of 
pulling a handle, you press a button.  And you don't get a lot of noise, 
no coins dropping into the bin, but just a slip of paper when you choose 
to cash out.  You then take the printout to the pay window.  I very much 
prefer the old machines that were noisy.  They were a lot more fun.

You definitely got that right. Everything is so digital now they have
taken a lot of fun out of the old mechanical operated slot machines.
If I want a digital slot machine I can sit home and play Jim's Casino
all day long. At least it sounds like areal slot machine were the ones

Hmm.  Sound like some good ideas!  Maybe different options become available

you try any at all, based on the risk and pay-off possibilities?

A lot of slot machines have themes and bonus opportunities beyond the
basic spin to earn extra cash. This can add a lot of additional
excitement and keep people coming back to experience all the bonus
features. You may, for example, have a haunted house slot machine.
Perhaps, a certain combination lets you go to the atic where you can
choose to open a series of coffin lids. If you pick two lids with
matching bonusses, you score extra spins with additional features or
something else. I've always thought it would be neat to have a slot
machine which had a kind of adventure in it. You could make certain
choices that would lead to different risks and rewards. Perhaps, you
could purchase special advantages which would increase your odds in
given situations but could only be used a limited number of times.

At their core, slot machines are designed to be as adictive and quick
as possible. The trick is balancing the attraction of extras and
thrills against the need to keep money flowing into them. Computer
slot machine games need not worry about keeping money flowing in which
leaves the door open for far more engaging and more deeply
entertaining experiences. Hopefully, we'll see someone take advantage
of that producing something new and interesting.

Hey Jim,
There is a game called Nudge.  Let's say that you have two wheels that just 
landed on a lemon.  The third is on a cherry--one shy of that lemon.  You 
have a half second to hit the nudge button, which moves the rightmost wheel 
one space--in this case, getting you three lemons.

Hi Ken,

Hmmm, I don't think that one could ever nudge a slot machine like one 
could nudge a pinball game.  And I'm not sure how I would represent each 
of the different things on each of the slot wheels by sounds.  It would be 
way too slow or noisy.


BTW My slot machine does actually populate each of the three wheels each 
time that you start the game with a certain number of lemons, cherries, 
jackpots etc and then each wheel does then rotate a randomly picked number 
of times until it stops.  And thus you end up with the item in the center 
(win) row as well as the window above and below.  So those above and below 
windows are not just picked randomly.

Re: [Audyssey] the fun of slot machines - Re: USA Blackjack

2011-04-22 Thread Michael Feir
A lot of slot machines have themes and bonus opportunities beyond the
basic spin to earn extra cash. This can add a lot of additional
excitement and keep people coming back to experience all the bonus
features. You may, for example, have a haunted house slot machine.
Perhaps, a certain combination lets you go to the atic where you can
choose to open a series of coffin lids. If you pick two lids with
matching bonusses, you score extra spins with additional features or
something else. I've always thought it would be neat to have a slot
machine which had a kind of adventure in it. You could make certain
choices that would lead to different risks and rewards. Perhaps, you
could purchase special advantages which would increase your odds in
given situations but could only be used a limited number of times.

At their core, slot machines are designed to be as adictive and quick
as possible. The trick is balancing the attraction of extras and
thrills against the need to keep money flowing into them. Computer
slot machine games need not worry about keeping money flowing in which
leaves the door open for far more engaging and more deeply
entertaining experiences. Hopefully, we'll see someone take advantage
of that producing something new and interesting.

Hey Jim,
How bout making a slot machine game that has three different tones, all 
playing at the same time, moving up and down at their own speeds, so you can 
hear, tonally, how close you are?  Then you could even make a nudge type 
game.

Hi Charles,

Yep, not being able to see how close I had come to winning etc was why I 
quit playing slot machines when my sight was gone.  I moved on to the 
black jack tables.  The dealers were always great about announcing their 
up card and my cards.  But I do like playing my slot machine game even 
though it is not real money.

[Audyssey] the fun of slot machines - Re: USA Blackjack

2011-04-20 Thread Charles Rivard
To me, that would be part of the fun.  To see that you missed it by just! 
that! much!  Sort of missing lottery numbers by 1 lousy digit, yet get 
nothing.  Rats!  Better try it again.  I'll get it next time.

Hi Thomas,

Yeah, when playing a slot machine, half of the fun is to see that if that 
one wheel had stopped one space sooner or later you would have won the 
jackpot.  Or maybe that is just the sadistic part of the one armed bandit.
