Slot Machine

A slot machine is a digital animation that visually recreates a classic slot machine (reels spinning and stopping on symbols), used purely for promotional and free purposes, with no real money wagered. Example: an e-commerce site invites visitors to spin a virtual slot machine once a day for a chance to win a promo code. Not to be confused with real gambling: the absence of a financial stake legally distinguishes this marketing animation from an actual casino slot machine.
