Question

You are to write a program using Java that will simulate a slot machine with four wheels. It will determine the amount of money won for each spin. The four wheels spin and stop showing a value between 0 and 9 inclusive. It costs $2 to play.

•You win $500 (but not the $2 you bet) if you get 4 wheels the same.

•You win $10 (but not the $2 you bet) if you get exactly 3 of a kind.

•You win $5 (but not the $2 you bet) if you get two pairs.

•You win $2 if you get 2 wheels the same (That is, you break even).

•You win nothing and lose your $2 bet if you get no matches.

Your program must use 4 methods:

1.One to randomly generate the 4 wheel values.

2.One to output the result of the spin.

3.One to compute the win or loss and print the correct message

4.Finally, one to output new balance and a nice line break graphic as seen below.

Input and Output:Your program will randomly generate a starting balance between $100 and $200 inclusive. Your program will randomly generate four integers (1 for each wheel).Your program will output a description of the input combination and the amount you won or lost.Your program will output your new balance after each spin.

Please help

Answer 1

Please find below code and refer screenshot for output.

This code does result after 1 spin of 4wheels

Code:
import java.util.Random;
public class Main
{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   int wheel1,wheel2,wheel3,wheel4;
       int starting_balance;
       int min=100;
       int max=200;
       int lost=0,credit=0;
       starting_balance=min+(int)(Math.random()*((max-min)+1));
       System.out.println("starting balance is "+starting_balance);
       wheel1=get_wheel_value();
       wheel2=get_wheel_value();
       wheel3=get_wheel_value();
       wheel4=get_wheel_value();
       System.out.println("The wheels values are "+wheel1+" "+wheel2+" "+wheel3+" "+wheel4);
       starting_balance-=2;
       lost+=2;
       if((wheel1==wheel2)&&(wheel2==wheel3)&&(wheel3==wheel4)){
       starting_balance+=500;
       credit+=500;
       }
       else if(((wheel1==wheel2)&&(wheel1==wheel3))||((wheel2==wheel3)&&(wheel2==wheel4))||((wheel3==wheel4)&&(wheel3==wheel1))||((wheel1==wheel3)&&(wheel1==wheel4))){
       starting_balance+=10;
       credit+=10;
       }
       else if(((wheel1==wheel2)&&(wheel3==wheel4))||((wheel1==wheel3)&&(wheel2==wheel4))||((wheel1==wheel4)&&(wheel2==wheel3))){
       starting_balance+=5;
       credit+=5;
       }
       else if((wheel1==wheel2)||(wheel1==wheel3)||(wheel1==wheel4)||(wheel2==wheel3)||(wheel2==wheel4)||(wheel3==wheel4)){
       starting_balance+=2;
       credit+=2;
       }
       System.out.println("The result of the spin, total credit is "+credit+" and total loss is "+lost);
       System.out.println("Current balance is "+starting_balance);
   }
   public static int get_wheel_value(){
   int value;
       int min=0;
       int max=9;
       value=min+(int)(Math.random()*((max-min)+1));
       return value;
   }
}

Output:
