A narrow opening for receiving or admitting something, as a coin or a letter.

A slot in a computer or data storage device, usually a rectangular opening in the motherboard that supports a removable media drive. The slots may be located in the rear of a motherboard or on either side of it, depending on the model.
In electromechanical slot machines, a lever was used to initiate the spinning of reels and the stopping of the machine when the symbols lined up. Most modern machines use buttons or a touchscreen to trigger play. Some slots offer additional features like random reel modifiers, stacked wilds, and megaways, which change the number of symbols per reel from one to three or more, increasing the odds of hitting certain combinations.
At this stage, your artists should produce the initial sketches and wireframes for your slot game. These can complement your prototype and help the rest of your business understand how your game will look statically. After your slot art and wireframes are complete, you can create a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP). This is a lightweight version of your game that includes only the most important features to ensure your team can test the functionality of each component. Thorough testing helps detect and eliminate bugs, which leads to a smoother player experience.
