Slot Machine

Description

Slot Machine is an AMX Mod X plugin that opens a web-styled MOTD slot game inside Counter-Strike 1.6. Players use dedicated Slot Coins to spin a 3-row by 5-column grid, earn rewards from 22 configured paylines, collect cumulative Slot Points, win or receive Free Spins, and compete on a top 10 leaderboard.

The plugin is driven by three config files: slot_machine.ini for commands, access, betting, storage, and jackpot notifications; slot_items.ini for symbols, weights, and rewards; and slot_coins.ini for coin package cards and currency costs.

The MOTD pages stay synced with the game server: the main slot page sends spin requests, the server calculates the grid and rewards, then the page refreshes with the new balance, exact winning-cell mask, reward text, remaining free spins, Slot Points, and player stats.

Core Features

Main Slot Page

This is the page opened by /slot, /slots, .slot, or .slots. It displays the player's current Slot Coins, Slot Points, free spins, wins, spins, active bet, and the 3x5 reel grid.

The spin button sends the selected bet to the server. The server checks access state, checks whether the player has a slot-won free spin, externally granted free spin, or enough Slot Coins, subtracts the correct cost, builds the grid, applies rewards, saves stats, then returns the result to this page. The page highlights wins using the exact cell mask returned by the plugin, so paylines and scatter wins are shown accurately.

Symbols & Rewards Page

This page is opened by /slotinfo, /slotsinfo, /slothelp, or the info button from the main slot page. It reads the active symbols exported from slot_items.ini and shows each symbol icon, name color, reward label, and 3+ / 4+ / 5-match chances.

Only five symbols are shown per page. If you add more symbols to slot_items.ini, the page automatically paginates them and keeps the same back button state so players can return to the main slot without losing their last grid/result view.

Slot Coins Store

This page is opened by /coins, /slotcoins, /buycoins, or the coin button from the main slot page. It lists packages from slot_coins.ini, shows each package image, Slot Coins amount, cost display, cost color, and whether the current player can afford the package.

When a player clicks a package, the page sends a buy command. The server validates that the package exists, finds the configured currency provider, checks the player's provider balance, subtracts the provider cost, adds the Slot Coins, saves the balance, and returns a buy status to the page.

Top 10 Leaderboard

This page is opened by /slot10 or /sl. The plugin reads the top 10 players from the Slot Machine SQL table and sends rows containing nick, Slot Coins, Slot Points, and wins.

The default sort is controlled by LEADERBOARD_SORT in slot_machine.ini. Valid values are coins, points, wins, and nick. The current config sorts by Slot Coins first.

Files Overview

Main Config - slot_machine.ini

slot_machine.ini controls storage, commands, access, betting, free spins, leaderboard sorting, and jackpot chat notifications.

Symbols & Rewards - slot_items.ini

Each section in slot_items.ini is one reel symbol. The section name becomes the display name, IMAGE points to the MOTD icon, COLOR controls the display color, WEIGHT controls the target 3+ chance, and REWARD defines what the player receives for 3, 4, or 5 matches. Regular symbols are paid from the first matching cells on a payline; ALL_OVER symbols pay when 3+ copies appear anywhere on the 3x5 grid.

Any reward token outside the core Slot rewards and the default MONEY reward should come from an optional Slot reward provider sub-plugin.

Coin Packages - slot_coins.ini

Each package section name is the Slot Coins amount the player receives. The default package setup uses the MONEY currency provider. Other currency providers are optional Slot sub-plugins.

Providers & Public API

The default setup uses CS money for both buying Slot Coins and paying money rewards. Additional currency or reward providers are optional Slot sub-plugins and should be listed in amxmodx/configs/plugins-slots.ini.

public slot_currency_token(output[], len)
public slot_currency_get(id)
public slot_currency_subtract(id, amount)

public slot_reward_token(output[], len)
public slot_reward_get(id)
public slot_reward_add(id, amount)

Sub-Plugins

ChatManager Tags

crx_chatmanager.sma reads the Slot Machine library and replaces these placeholders when the library is available:

"^4[$slot_coins$ coins | $slot_points$ pts]^1 ^3%name%^1 : %message%"

You can also create selectable custom tags in ChatManager's [Chat Tags] section and lock them behind Slot Points.

[Chat Tags]
"slotpoints" "500" "[Slots]"

This example unlocks the [Slots] chat tag for players with at least 500 Slot Points.
