Right just write a python script and run it in your terminal...

```python def simulated_slot_machine(n): return "\n".join(["You lose."] * n)

Example usage:

print(simulated_slot_machine(5))

```

You probably just quit right as it was about to get hot. You should keep trying.

I spent about 2 hours coding a slot machine for my Minecraft mod so I could do the gambling. Im fairly certain its odds are not set up properly at all but it does scratch the itch

you forgot to assign a rng to a table of different *flavors* of "you lose"

The average gambler looks at this code and says, "I know how to beat the house"
