slot machine physics |
Does anyone have any ideas for programming the physics of the reels
spinning on a 3d slot machine? Basically, I need a function that
produces an angle of rotation given the current time. Eventually, the
angle of rotation needs to end up at a multiple of 45 degrees (because
I have 8 items on each reel and I want them to be aligned right when
the spin is thru).

Pretty easy. For each wheel, provide a random initial "pull" velocity,
and then slow each one with the same deceleration until it stops.
Omega0 = OmegaMin + Jitter*rand();
increm(t;0,tmax);
OmegaT = Omega0 - Alpha*t;
if (OmegaT.lessthan.Slow) then OmegaT = 0.
endincrem;

Today's slots are electronically braked, and that braking is NOT on
any specific angles (none that yield a win anyway... hehehehe j/k).
Mechanically stopped wheeled slots are toothed rings.
Ther are no true random slots... they ALL have your wallet in mind.
Give me an old, random, mechanically stopped slot any day. If they
were brought back, I would play them.

Well, that's not entirely true anymore - the slot systems that I've
developed, and am developing use random numbers to pick where the
virtual reels will stop. The graphics animation uses very standard math
to slow the reels, bounce 'em a bit - that kind of thing. For use in
the US (my current project is for RU, tho'), the mfr has to get
certification from various different testing labs that the outcomes of
the games *are* random.
That said, the games are designed to pay anywhere from 85% to 98% -
making them change machines: you put in a buck (a rouble), and you get
85-98 cents back, on the average.

So they are not quite random, but adjustable, i.e. setable, to lose or win

I don't think he can make up his mind.

Hard to tell what the ***** you are talking about, when you are too
stupid to quote the text to which you are replying, as is the STANDARD
practice in Usenet. This ain't e-mail, doofus.
- the slot systems that I've
developed, and am developing use random numbers to pick where the
virtual reels will stop.
Then it will never get bought by a casino as a gaming instrument.
They have to guarantee a specific pay ratio. That either makes what
you say utter *****, or your target market is NOT casino gambling.

I do not believe you. Nevada, for one, explicitly has laws that
require specific pay out to pull count ratios.

This is one more reason why I do not believe you. This statement is
***** as well. No gambling casino in the world would accept such
takes. If that's what's going on in RU, then it isn't gambling, it's
a toy, and that certainly is not what is happening in US casinos.
If it were, old mechanical slots would still be in use.

Which laws are those? Please quote them whole or provide a link to them.

They have max pulls declared between full jackpot pays. All the
intermediary pay outs can be random.

Google Usenet posting protocols, dipshit. Then get a different news
client.
It's called conform or stay the ***** out.

You really oughtn't stay up so late - middle school is a very important
time in a young person's life.
I haven't used trn in ages, or had simple access to a news server in a
while - google has to serve the purpose. I don't post much, so you'll
just have to wipe the froth off your braces and put down the mountain
dew and take a little nappy...

You can quote text using google also - just click on "show options",
and then reply. Don't use the broken reply link below the message.
