A narrow notch, groove, or opening, as in a keyway in machinery or a slit for coins in a vending machine. A position in a group, series, or sequence. A slot may also refer to:
An artificial device that emulates a spinning wheel and offers players the chance to win money or other prizes. They usually have multiple pay lines and can be found in casinos and gaming arcades.
Modern slot machines have microprocessors that assign different probabilities to each symbol on each reel. This makes it impossible to tell if a machine is “hot” or not just by looking at it. The varying odds make it possible to have a machine that pays out more often than others, even though the individual symbols appear at random.
The number of active paylines on a machine determines how much the spin costs. Some machines have as few as one payline while others have 243 or 1024 ways to win. Activating all paylines increases the chances of hitting a winning combination but can also increase the cost per spin.
You can use regular expressions (regex) to map values to slot types in Dialog Engine. This allows your bot to recognize multiple words and phrases as the same slot type. For example, you can map the value flight code to the slot type New York City or NYC, which will cause the bot to understand that a user means the same thing when they say either of these words.
