In gaming, a slot is the path across the reels where matching symbols must land to generate a winning combination. Many slots have fixed paylines, while others use a “Ways to Win” mechanic that awards wins for matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels, regardless of their exact position. Some slots also feature special symbols that trigger bonus events such as free spins, pick-a-prize interactions or mystery bonuses.
Video slot games are similar to mechanical slots, but use microchips instead of physical reels to determine outcomes. They are usually operated by pressing a button and watching the reels stop with matching symbols on the pay lines to award prizes. Some online slot machines offer progressive jackpots, free spins and additional game features that can increase your chances of winning.
You can add synonyms to slot types so that Dialog Engine recognizes multiple names for the same entity value. To add a synonym, click the slot type name and then enter the desired name. You can also enable or disable synonyms for individual slots by clicking the checkbox next to the slot name. For example, you can set a synonym for the value Flight Numbers, which will allow your bot to match any phrases that contain the pattern flight numbers.
