A slot is an allocated time or place for an aircraft to take off or land, authorized by the airport or air-traffic controller. See also slat (def 1).
A slot in the wall of an interior space, allowing passage through or around it: a narrow notch or opening, such as one between the tips of the primaries of certain birds during flight, that helps to maintain a constant flow of air over the wings.
Pay table
In electromechanical slot machines, a table that lists the number of credits a player will receive if symbols line up along what is known as a payline. The pay table is usually displayed on the machine in either odds format (for example, ’50 to 1′) or a multiplication coefficient or as an amount relative to the coin/credit value of the game (for instance, ’50 credits for every dollar bet’). The payout table is commonly found on the front of the machine and on video slot games within a help menu or similar area.
It is important to note that slot games are a game of chance and there is no absolute strategy. However, choosing a machine that you enjoy playing can increase your chances of success. For example, you may prefer a simpler machine with only one payout line or one with numerous bonus features. Keep in mind that while the odds of winning at any particular machine are based on random number generation, the more money you spend, the higher your chances of losing.
