Good?

btw there is a cheat, sorta.

Yeah, the 'cheat' is fairly obvious. Not bad. Should've just put more restrictions on what you can bet (as in greater than zero). And you should've used a long int or a double or something, so that it didn't overflow so quickly. If someone were to win the jackpot, they would receive an overflow error.

However, I liked how you had the buttons change when you entered jackpot mode, that was a nice touch. Also, I would disable the reset button until all the slots have been pulled.

Wow, thanks for the input. I'll probably make all those changes!

Work more on your interface. Most people don't want to click 3 buttons to "stop" each reel, especially when the reel isn't really doing anything to begin with. The result is that it's not that exciting to play. (Most fake money gambling games that don't involve an element of strategy are the same way. When you're dealing with nothing but luck, there's not a lot of excitement in it.)

I understand this is a simple project, though.

that's pretty cool

some suggestions if you would like to expand it
(also encompassing chardish's idea of adding some level of excitement)

make it something like 5 slots, with certain ones being winners.
Then, have it so that you can lock some of the slots and respin the rest of them
kind of like yahtzee (if you ever played it)

Then you feel like you had part of the game. It isn't completely luck.

it would probably not be so easy to implement that - now that I think about it
first you would have to add a few more slots - and then add a second round.
It's kind of a big step -> but if you are looking for ways to improve the gameplay aspect, my suggestion fits in there.
