Slots

A slot machine or simply slots is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed. Slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because they were originally operated by a lever on the side of the machine (the one arm) instead of a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the gamer penniless. They appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout and Fallout 2
Slots can be played via dialogue in Fallout and Fallout 2. In Fallout 1 some slots are nuclear war themed and to win 3 nukes are required.

Betting
Bets can range from 1 - 75 chips. Chips must be purchased from the casino cashier being frequented. Note that if you are having trouble finding the cashier look for a person behind a barred counter.

Payouts
Payouts are calculated by the bet amount and the payout multiplier.

Hidden/No-Win Symbol

Players should be aware that there is an additional no-win symbol on the reels that is not mentioned by the game. Players not familiar with slot machines may wonder why the symbols do not always line up. This is due to the fact that the divider 'line' in between the mentioned symbols is also a symbol. If one of the 'lines' falls in between the indicator arrows on the slot machine then the only way for a player to win any money is with Cherry symbols.

Locations
Slots can only be played at the following locations:
 * The Tops
 * Atomic Wrangler Casino
 * Gomorrah

Bugs

 * Sometimes the game will glitch and won't pay you when it has landed on three oranges. It also might pay you for landing on two and a No-Win symbol close to the other orange.
