One-Armed Bandit, v 1.01, by Pete Granger (December 13, 1988)
Abstract:
This is a slot machine simulation which uses curses routines. The
setup and payoffs are described in comments below, and the means of
play can be read in the print_instructions() routine.
Notes:
This program has been compiled and run on a VAX running Ultrix 3.0,
and on a Sun-3, Sun-4, and Sun-386i. It will compile on an IBM
AT-compatible, but there are problems with the stty and curses
commands. Fixes for the AT are forthcoming at an undetermined date.
If your machine does not have the random() and srandom() functions,
then set the value of RANDOM to 0, prior to compiling, and rand() and
srand() will be used instead.
This is the configuration and payoff chart for a fair but profitable
slot machine. It has a 9.54% chance of paying off on each play, and
(on one-dollar bets) will pay back an average of 91.47% of all bets.
