A slot is a narrow opening into which something else can be fitted, especially one used in a machine for receiving coins or tokens.

A casino game, also called a slot machine or fruit machine, is a gambling machine that uses reels to display combinations of symbols and requires a player to press a button to initiate spins. Each spin of the reels and landing of symbols on a payline results in a win or loss depending on the combination and amount wagered.
