A slot is a narrow opening, usually slit or slit-like, in which something may be inserted. A slot in a door, for example, allows a person to enter or leave a room. A slot on a game board is an area that can be occupied by a piece of equipment, such as a scoreboard or a marker for a penalty. A slot is also a position in an activity, such as a job or assignment.
A classic slot has a single reel and three symbols, but other variations exist, such as five or more reels and multiple paylines. A slot machine uses a random number generator to select a set of symbols each time the button is pressed. The winning symbol combinations then generate payouts according to the paytable.
In this step, your artists produce the initial sketches and wireframes for your slot game. These allow your business to visualize how your game will look and function. Your team will then use these to create a prototype of the slot game. This prototype, also known as a Minimum Viable Product, is designed to allow your business to test out the concept and understand what changes are needed for the final version of the game. The MVP will also include features like game mechanics, slot features, and basic UI. Your team can build a prototype using tools like Adobe XD and Figma.
