Slot Machine Prototypes

A slot is the name given to a specific place or time in a process. In computing, it refers to the operation issue and data path machinery surrounding a set of one or more execution units (also called a function unit) which share these resources.

Despite their reputation as low-tech arcade devices only played by little old ladies, slot machines are the most profitable casino games in the world and generate the majority of the industry’s profits. They are high-stakes bouts of chance where fortunes can be won or lost in seconds.

Wins and losses on commercial slot machines are accompanied by both auditory and visual feedback – a small loss will result in silence while large wins trigger a celebratory jingle. However, it is unknown how these effects combine to affect the perceived enjoyment of slots.

During the prototype stage, your artists should produce the initial sketches, wireframes and mockups of your slot game. This is an essential part of the slot game development process and will help your business understand how the final game will look and feel. In addition, the prototype will allow you to build a minimum viable product that can be used to demonstrate how your slot game works. It is a great way to showcase the slot’s core features, gameplay and UI to everyone involved in the project. Unlike the art and wireframes, which show how your slot game looks statically, the MVP will let you test out how the game works dynamically.
