The slot machines is a game of chance , many different outcomes will appear when the player press the play button. In this program, we draw an array of nine shapes ,VB will automatically labeled the shapes as shape1(0), shape1(1), shape1(2), shape1(3), shape1(4), shape1(5), shape1(6), shape1(7) and shape1(8) respectively. Arrange the shapes into three rows. Write the code so that only three types of shapes appear randomly. Here we want to show only square, oval and rectangle. The appearance can be altered at runtime using the Shape properties. For example, Shape1(o).Shape=0 means it is a rectangle, Shape1(o).Shape=1 is a square and Shape1(o).Shape=2 is an oval shape. The color of the shapes can be customized using the FillColor property of the shape. For example, Shape1(0).Fillcolor=vbRed will give the shape a red color. The design interface is shown below:

- The slot machines is a game of chance, many different outcomes will appear when the player press the play button. In this program, we draw an array of nine shapes,VB will automatically labeled the shapes as shape1 (0), shape1 (1), shape1 (2), shape1 (3), shape1 (4), shape1 (5), shape1 (6), shape1 (7) and shape1 (8) respectively.
- A fairly basic slot machine-type 'game' Timer is used to 'animate' the slots by switching pictures Could either use a button to stop all at once (1 timer) or 3 individual buttons (3 timers) Implemented with 1.
Randomness can be achieved by using the Rnd function. We also insert a timer to create the animated effect of a slot machine. The time interval is set to 10 so that the shapes change at a fast rate thus creates the illusion of animation. The program also uses a variable x to control the timer so that it can be stopped when x attain a certain value, otherwise the program will loop forever.
The purpose of this program is just to show how different shapes can appear randomly, therefore many advanced features of a slot machine such as the amount of bet are not programmed here. Those features are available in the professional slot machine.
The aim of this project is to show you how easy it is to create a Blackjack game albeit without cards, yet the logic remains. Create a Visual Basic Windows Forms project and design your form to resemble Figure 1: Figure 1: Our Design. You are welcome to name your objects to your liking. Just keep in mind that my names might differ from yours.
The Code
When you run the program, you will see the following runtime UI:

I'm suppose to create a Slot Machine game. The user starts with 100 tokens. With each 'pull', the user loses 1 token and the computer 'spins' three wheels, each consisting of the numbers 1, 2, 3.If all are 1, the user gets 4 tokens; If all are 2, the user gets 8 token; IF all are 3, the user gets 12 tokens. The number of tokens that the user has should display on the form and the result of the spin should be display in a message box. This is my code so far:
I don't know how to keep the count of the number of tokens, and have the messages display when a set of numbers are the same. Can you tell me what I'm missing or what I need to include? I just need HELP!!! (lol)

O.K I assume you need to put some of your code into a button event which becomes your pull. In ther you need a counter to count the number of pulls. You also need to initialize your number of tokens as:
Dim number as Integer = 100 which is the …

Jump to PostWell what is the idea of line 7? Maybe you should get rid of it. I thought you want to count the number of puls there consequently my idea of a second counter . In the real world you only get a certain number of pulls.

Simple Slot Machine Game
When the same numbers appear on the form, it still says Try Again, how do I get it to say the amount of tokens the user have won?
