Welcome to the Python Slot Machine — a simple, text-based gambling simulation game created using Python. This project offers a fun way to practice Python fundamentals including loops, functions, conditionals, random number generation, and user input handling.
This terminal-based slot machine game allows users to:
- 💰 Deposit money
- 🎯 Choose the number of lines to bet on (1–3)
- 🎲 Place a bet per line
- 🌀 Spin a 3x3 slot machine grid
- 🏆 Win or lose money based on the results
- 💼 Track balance until the player decides to quit
It’s perfect for beginners learning Python basics, randomization, and logic structuring.
- The slot machine is a 3×3 grid.
- Each column randomly picks symbols (
A,B,C,D) based on predefined frequencies (i.e., weights). - If all symbols on a bet line (row) match across columns, the player wins.
- Each symbol has its own payout value.
- Winnings are added to the balance; losing lines subtract the bet.
- ✅ Balance management
- ✅ Weighted random symbol generation
- ✅ Line-based betting (1–3 lines)
- ✅ Symbol-based payout system
- ✅ Clear terminal-based UI
- ✅ Input validation and error handling
- Python 3
- Standard Libraries:
random— for weighted symbol generationinput()— for user input and interactivity
