Slot Machine Game 🎰

A JavaScript-based slot machine simulation that lets players deposit money, place bets, and spin the reels for a chance to win based on symbol combinations.

Features

• Deposit System: Players can enter an initial deposit amount to start the game.
• Line Betting: Choose to bet on 1, 2, or 3 lines to increase your chances of winning.
• Reels and Symbols: The game features dynamic reels with symbols A, B, C, and D, each having a different payout multiplier.
• Winnings Calculation: Winnings are calculated based on matching symbols and their corresponding values. Players win by aligning symbols on the lines they've bet on.
• Play Again Option: After each spin, the player can choose to continue playing as long as they have sufficient balance.

How it Works

1. Deposit Money: Enter the amount you wish to deposit as your starting balance.
2. Select Lines: Choose the number of lines to bet on (1-3).
3. Place a Bet: Enter the bet amount per line. The total bet will be calculated based on the number of lines.
4. Spin: The reels will spin and display random symbols.
5. Win or Lose: The game checks for matching symbols on the bet lines and calculates winnings based on the bet amount and the symbol's value.
6. Repeat: You can play as long as you have balance, or exit the game when you wish.
