Slot machines are popular casino games, where players can wager money in return for credits. Players insert coins or paper tickets that contain barcodes into the machine, and then pull a lever or press a button to spin the reels. When a winning combination is triggered, credits are awarded based on the paytable. The symbols on a slot machine vary according to its theme, but classic symbols include fruit, bells, and stylized lucky sevens. In addition to classic symbols, most slots have special bonus features that align with the theme.
