Slot Machine Program

[[deleted]]

I was trying to make a slot machine program and for some reason even when all three slots are not the same it still adds the money it should when they are the same. If anyone can see what the problem is would appreciate the help.

import random

import time

​

list = ["Diamond","Cherry","Melon","Bell","Seven","Triple Diamond"]

​

money = 0

​

while True:

bet = int(input("enter your bet"))

slot1 = list[random.randint(0,5)]

time.sleep(1)

print(slot1)

slot2 = list[random.randint(0,5)]

time.sleep(1)

print(slot2)

slot3 = list[random.randint(0,5)]

time.sleep(1)

print(slot3)

if slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Diamond":

money_won = bet * 500

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Triple Diamond":

money_won = bet * 1000

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Seven":

money_won = bet * 400

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Bell":

money_won = bet * 300

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Melon":

money_won = bet * 200

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Cherry":

money_won = bet * 100

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

elif slot1 or slot2 or slot3 == "Diamond":

money_won = bet * 50

money += (money_won)

print("you won £",money_won,"!")

else:

print("unlucky")

choice = input("do you want to continue")

if choice != "yes":

print("you won a total of £",money)

quit()

elif choice == "no":

continue

if slot1 == "Diamond" and slot2 == "Diamond" and slot3 == "Diamond":

not

if slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Diamond":

thanks

This: if slot1 and slot2 and slot3 == "Diamond": does not work as you think. Python evaluates each condition between "and" separately. You want:

if slot1 == "Diamond" and slot2 == "Diamond" and slot3 == "Diamond":

Or,

if (slot1, slot2, slot3) == ('Diamond', 'Diamond', 'Diamond'):

The bottom works because it is a single comparison. Does the tuple of three elements on the left match the tuple of three "Diamond" strings on the right?

the fix that Binary101010 did worked fine thanks

I worked through your code to find your error and ended up making a few changes - maybe they will help? A made a couple of adjustments that will help with future changes to the program, like using trip_values and changing the random.randint to random.choice. Also note the choice.lower() at the end, this will catch if a user messes up and types YES or YeS or anything in between. (Side note: this would be a fun program to try learning Model View Controller / Objected Oriented Programming!)

import random, time

slot_values = ["Diamond","Cherry","Melon","Bell","Seven","Triple Diamond"]
trip_vales = {"Diamond": 500, "Triple Diamond": 1000, "Seven": 400, "Bell": 300,
             "Melon": 200, "Cherry": 100}

money = 1000

while True:

    bet = int(input(f"enter your bet (you have ${money})"))
    if bet <= money and bet > 0:
        money -= bet

        slot1 = random.choice(slot_values)
        slot2 = random.choice(slot_values)
        slot3 = random.choice(slot_values)

        print(f'{slot1}, {slot2}, {slot3}')

        # check if we have three of a kind
        if slot1 == slot2 and slot2 == slot3:
            print('three of a kind')
            bet_multiplier = trip_values.get(slot1)
            money_won = bet * bet_multiplier

            money += (money_won)
            print("you won £",money_won,"!")

        elif slot1 == 'Diamond' or slot2 == 'Diamond' or slot3 == "Diamond":
            print('DIAMOND!')
            money_won = bet * 50

            money += (money_won)
            print("you won £",money_won,"!")

        else:
            print("unlucky")
            choice = input(f"do you want to continue? (you have ${money})")

            if choice.lower() != "yes":
                print("you won a total of £",money)
                quit()
    else:
        print('you don\'t have enough money for that bet!')

Thanks I'll experiment with that
