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 Design Interface
May 15, 2017 Any gambler probably knows that a slot machine is sometimes jokingly referred to as “the one-armed bandit.” When they were first created, slot machines were mechanical devices containing reels wound on large metal hoops that were connected to a lever on the side—players pulled this “arm” to activate the machine, and they were usually left considerably lighter of pocket.
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.

When you run the program, you will see the following runtime UI:
