Inspiration

I enjoyed gambling games on my phone, but wanted a harmless and fun way to do it. I have made a lot more complex games in the past, but this is the one I am most proud of. But its no basic hangman, I feel like it's just a simple game that could be extremely enjoyable and fun with friends. It doesn't require much thought and is more laid back,

What it does

Spins a slot machine to unveil if the user wins or loses coins.

How I built it

I used Tkinter on Python. I was able to efficiently build a proper GUI and use a logo as well as sound effects.

Challenges I ran into

I ran into an issue with allowing users to gamble different amounts of coins. When I was able to create a dropdown menu I fixed this issue.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud that the game works and creates sounds after every spin. I find this part very entertaining and satisfying.

What I learned

I learned a lot about Tkinter and about how coding could be used to help bring people together for fun even in with a simple game.

What's next for Jackpot!

I will try to develop it to become multiplayer and be a head to head game. Or allow for users to generate coins overtime. I think that the game has some strategy to it with the amount that users decide to gamble which is why this game could succeed even with its simplicity.
