Slot Machine Game Development in PHP

on 2014/09/17 11:03 AM stored in: PHP and tagged:

If you’re thinking of having a career in slot machine development, you’d better have a good background in developing the game using PHP. Writing slot games in this particular programming language is fast and easy.

The slot machine is quite possibly the most popular game in the world, which is why having a career in slot game development isn’t such a bad idea. According to Statista, slot machine revenue in Macau alone amounted to $1.80 billion in 2013. By 2014, it would probably be a $2 billion business, and that’s just in one region of the world.


Of course, being a profitable business means that a lot of competition is at bay. This is why slot developers need to constantly update their products in order to have the edge against other companies. InterCasino, the world’s first online casino, even upgraded its system to HTML5 in order to provide sleek gaming and high definition graphics to gamers. So remember, if you want to become a successful slot developer, you need to always keep yourself in the loop with the best programming languages to use.
If you’ve never developed a slot game before, here’s a simple code to get you started.


[php]
$num1 = rand(1, 5);
$num2 = rand(1, 5);
$num3 = rand(1, 5);

$result = $num1.’ | ‘.$num2.’ | ‘.$num3;

// Read points from file
$filename = ‘points.txt’;
$handle = fopen($filename, ‘r’);
$current = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

if ($num1 == $num2 && $num2 == $num3) {

$status = ‘You are a winner!’;
$add_points = $current + 10;

// Add points to file
$handle = fopen($filename, ‘w’);
$current_points = fwrite($handle, $add_points);
fclose($handle);

} else {
$status = ‘please try again!’;
}
?>

[/php]

Slot Machine Game!





’.$current.' points!’; ?>

This simple slot code was provided by Nick Meagher on Stack Exchange. He was asking other members of the site if they can improve his very simple slot code. If you’re an expert in coding slot machines, perhaps you can improve his code and share it with Nick on his topic page at Stack Exchange.
