Re: [Audyssey] the fun of slot machines - Re: USA Blackjack
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. grin BFN Jim Cranial Input Error: Line Status Register 02 j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

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

Re: [Audyssey] the fun of slot machines - Re: USA Blackjack
Hi Charles, 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.

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

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