    text
    copied!<p>as the title suggests I am doing a program for homework that is a slot machine. I have searched around and I am pretty satisfied that the program works correctly enough for me. The problem Im having is on top of generating the random numbers, I am supposed to assign values for the numbers 1-5 (Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells, Melons, Bars). Then I am to display the output instead of the number when my program runs. Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction on how to do this please?</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Random; import java.util.Scanner; public class SlotMachineClass { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int Coins = 1000; int Wager = 0; System.out.println("Steve's Slot Machine"); System.out.println("You have " + Coins + " coins."); System.out.println("Enter your bet and press Enter to play"); while (Coins &gt; 0) { int first = new Random().nextInt(5)+1; int second = new Random().nextInt(5)+1; int third = new Random().nextInt(5)+1; Wager = input.nextInt(); if(Wager &gt; Coins) Wager = Coins; System.out.println(first + " " + second + " " + third); if(first == second &amp;&amp; second == third) { Coins = Coins + (Wager * 3); System.out.println("You won " + (Wager * 3) + "!!!!" + " You now have " + Coins + " coins."); System.out.println("Enter another bet or close program to exit");} else if((first == second &amp;&amp; first != third) || (first != second &amp;&amp; first == third) || (first != second &amp;&amp; second == third)) { Coins = Coins + (Wager * 2); System.out.println("You won " + (Wager * 2) + "!!!" + " You now have " + Coins + " coins."); System.out.println("Enter another bet or close program to exit");} else {Coins = Coins - Wager; System.out.println("You Lost!" + "\nPlay Again? if so Enter your bet.");} } while (Wager == 0) { System.out.println("You ran out of coins. Thanks for playing."); } } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
