Help with casino-like game scoring condition detection

Question

Hello everyone,

I decided to try and create a casino-like game as a passion project. I wont be releasing this public, but I really enjoy the creation process, so I have committed some time to it. I am currently in the process of creating the game logic that will randomize the grid and check for scoring conditions.

While I have managed to do the randomization thing, I cant seem to find an efficient way to check if there are any scoring conditions. I want to have about 10 different items that can score if at least 3 of them are adjacent to each other. I wont go into detail on how I have implemented the randomization logic, since I am willing to change the entire thing if it enables me to detect scoring conditions.

btw my grid is 5x3

You need to determine what are the winning line combinations. On a slot game it will show these lines, typically each in a different color, when you choose how many lines to play. These lines go from one position on a reel to the next position.

So your logic simply has to check each reel position in order to see if a winning combination is present on any of those lines (and all lines can count at the same time). So simply keep a list of lines with the positions in the grid that represent those lines. Typically, any combination has to start on the left side until you hit a reel that doesn't have a winning symbol and that determines how much that line wins.

If you implement scatter wins you check the whole matrix for the scatter symbols.

Hope that helps you.

Mike
