A slot is a space in a machine or on a disk where a certain type of object can be stored. The word is also a verb, meaning to fit or be fitted into a space or position. For example, you can use a hammer to slot wood pieces into place. Or, you can slot an appointment into your schedule. I’ve slotted your meeting for four o’clock.

Developing a slot game requires a lot of work. It starts with a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP). This is a lightweight version of the game that allows you to show your business what your finished project will look like statically. You can then test and improve it before you launch the final game. Thorough testing results in fewer bugs and glitches and ultimately a higher-quality game.
