Thread: Slot Machine

Hi all,

Im new to java this year and have been asked to create a small slot machine program for a project. It is a 3 reel slot machine with a few different combinations of winning. I have came across a few problems when coding this I have listed them below.

1. The program has yet to start up and run. I keep getting these 3 errors and dont no how to fix them. This is in the main application.

 

C:\Users\Andy\Desktop\Programming\SlotMachine.java :55: cannot find symbol

symbol : method compute()

location: class SlotMachine

mySlot.compute();

^

C:\Users\Andy\Desktop\Programming\SlotMachine.java :94: cannot find symbol

symbol : method getwinnings()

location: class SlotMachine

winnings = mySlot.getwinnings();

^

C:\Users\Andy\Desktop\Programming\SlotMachine.java :97: cannot find symbol

symbol : method geteuro()

location: class SlotMachine

euro = mySlot.geteuro();

This is the code i have for this part of the program.

import javabook.*;
 
class SlotMachine{
	public static void main(String args[]){
 
		//Declare objects
 
		MainWindow mWindow;
		InputBox iBox;
		OutputBox oBox;
		SlotMachine mySlot;
 
		//Create objects
 
		mWindow = new MainWindow();
		iBox = new InputBox(mWindow);
		oBox = new OutputBox(mWindow);
		mySlot = new SlotMachine();
 
		//Show mWindow & oBox
 
		mWindow.show();
		oBox.show();
 
		//Declare Variables
 
		int euro;
		int coin;
		int winnings;
		int slot1;
		int slot2;
		int slot3;
 
 
 
		//Get Input
 
		iBox.getInteger();
		      System.out.println("Enter amount of coins to bet");
 
			if (coin == 0){
					System.out.println("Game has ended");
}
 
 
		//process
 
 
		mySlot.compute();
 
		if (slot1 == 1){
			oBox.print("Cherry ");
	}
		else if (slot1 == 2){
			oBox.print("Grape ");
	}
		else if (slot1 == 3){
			oBox.print("Bell");
	}
 
 
		if (slot2 == 1){
			oBox.print("Cherry ");
	}
		else if (slot2 == 2){
			oBox.print("Grape ");
	}
		else if (slot2 == 3){
			oBox.print("Bell");
	}
 
		if (slot2 == 1){
			oBox.print("Cherry ");
	}
		else if (slot2 == 2){
			oBox.print("Grape ");
	}
		else if (slot2 == 3){
			oBox.print("Bell");
	}
 
 
 
 
 
		//output
 
		winnings = mySlot.getwinnings();
			oBox.println("You have Won");
 
		euro = mySlot.geteuro();
			oBox.println("Your coins in Euro");
 
}
}

The other part of the program gives me 2 errors!

 

1.C:\Users\Andy\Desktop\Programming\Slot.java:44: illegal start of expression

public void setCoin(int c){

^

2.C:\Users\Andy\Desktop\Programming\Slot.java:151: ';' expected

^

This is the code below.

		if (slot1 == bell && slot2 == bell && slot3 == bell){
			System.out.println("10");
			payoutMultiplier = 10;
	}
		else if (slot1 == grape && slot2 == grape && slot3 == grape){
			System.out.println("7");
			payoutMultiplier = 7;
	}
 
		else if (slot1 == cherry && slot2 == cherry && slot3 == cherry){

	}
 
		else if (slot1 == cherry && slot2 == cherry && (slot3 == grape || slot3 == bell)){
			System.out.println ("3");

	}
 
		else if (slot1 == cherry && (slot2 == grape || slot2 == bell) && slot3 == cherry){
			System.out.println ("3");

	}

	}

			System.out.println ("1");
			payoutMultiplier = 1;
 
	}

			System.out.println ("1"):
			payoutMultiplier = 1;
 
	}
 
		else if ((slot1 == grape || slot1 == bell) && (slot2 == grape || slot2 == bell) && (slot3 == grape || slot3 == bell)){
			System.out.println ("No Win")
			payoutMultiplier = 0;
	}
 
		else {
			System.out.println("No Combination")
	}
}
 
 
 
	//Get Method
 
	public int getWinnings();{
		int winnings = payoutMultiplier * coins;
		return winnings;
	}
 
	double geteuro();{
		int euro = (coins * .25);
		return euro;
	}

Any help with this would be much appreciated i also have to add a loop so the program allows the player to keep using the program until they enter zero so if you could also explain were abouts in the program i am to put the loop it would be great.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

No thats fine. Cross posting is allowed, just please read the rules.

I will take a look at the code now..

Where can I find the javabook import?

The errors are quite self explanatory. What IDE are you using?
