Minimal slots

Overall★★★★★★★★★★1.44
Theme★★★★★★★★★★2.87
Coolness★★★★★★★★★★22%
This is so minimal I only had about 2 hours to work on it due to personal obligations this weekend. And those 2 hours started with 30 minutes left in the Compo, so I missed the Submission deadline too. Oh well; I can change this to a Jam entry if you want.

I'm submitting it anyway because I want to finally submit *something* for an LD. Hopefully I'll have more time for this next round.

My mother-in-law has complained about modern slot-machine games all being those 5-reel monsters with lots of zany paths, etc. -- so I thought it could be neat to make a simple one for her. This is not that game. But maybe someday it could be.

2 stars for theme. It is minimal, I'll give you that.

Well it's interesting - I spammed it until I got in the negative and gave up, thought there might be a "you lose!" or something. But, eh, fits the theme technically but a bit boring. Bells, whistles, and a sense of risk versus reward is what I think makes slots fun, so I think those might be the minimal things to make an enjoyable slots experience, which this unfortunately does lack. But, cool anyway!

This is minimal, but there isn't any gameplay. There is no chance to win, and for some reason [1,1,1] is coming up for my a lot (may just be chance).

Obviously needs work, but congrats on getting something in!

I stopped at 150. You need to stop before you lose everything.
I'm glad that you finished something. Try to get more time next time. Good luck.

A finished game! 100% on theme! That's still uncommon on LD (I've failed 3rd time in a row to provide a finished product ;) ). You're definitely over the average!
