What is a Slot?

Slot is a narrow depression, perforation, or opening into which something fits. It may also refer to a position or period in a schedule or plan: I can slot you in for a haircut at 2 p.m.

A slot is a dynamic placeholder on a page that either waits passively for content to fill it (a passive slot) or calls out to receive it (an active slot). A slot can be filled by a scenario using an Add Items to Slot action or by a renderer with a bunch of slots for offer management. Scenarios and renderers work together to deliver content to the page. For more information, see the Using Slots chapter of the ATG Personalization Programming Guide.

The pay table is a table that lists the amount you will be awarded if particular symbols line up on the pay lines of a slot machine. It varies from machine to machine, and some even have additional features like regular multipliers, or progressive multipliers, where the winning amount gets bigger with each subsequent win.

The best way to understand the rules and nuances of a slot game is to play it, especially if you are writing about it. It’s also helpful to read reviews and presentations on the game, so you can get a feel for its mechanics and history. These example sentences are automatically generated from various online sources.
