Thanks a lot for pointing out the reward mix up. Also thanks for showing the "while" option. I'm pretty new to this. I picked AGS two days ago so i still have to learn alot.  Anyway i am planning to make animations for the slots but I thought, before i begin with animating i want the basic script to work so that way i would be easier for me to see what's wrong if it doesn't work.

Sorry for the double post. I've got it up and running after screwing with it for a while. I've translated it to english so you guys can use it if you want (it still needs some tweaking and i still have to find out how to actually put my money in the inventory)

// room script file
// room = Slot Machine

int cash = 100; // your ammount of money
int reward; //the prize that you've won
int slot1; //the first slot
int slot2; //the second slot
int slot3; //the third slot
int costs = 1; //the cost to play slots

function hHotspot1_Interact()
{
slot1 = Random(3); //assigns random number to slot in wich 0 = bar,  1 = cherry, 2 = seven and 3 = orange.
slot2 = Random(3);
slot3 = Random(3);
cash = (cash - costs); //puts a coin in the slot machine


  if(cash < 0)
  {
    Display("Sorry,  you're out of cash!");
  }
  else
  {
  if (slot1 == 0) //slot 1 = bar
    {
      object[0].SetView(2, 0, 0); //sets animation of slot 1 to bar
    }

  if (slot1 == 1) //slot 1 = cherry
  {
      object[0].SetView(2, 0, 2); //sets animation of slot 1 to cherry
  }

  if (slot1 == 2) //slot 1 = seven
  {
      object[0].SetView(2, 0, 1); //sets animation of slot 1 to seven
  }

  if (slot1 == 3) //slot 1 = orange
  {
      object[0].SetView(2, 0, 3); //sets animation of slot 1 to orange 
  }

  if (slot2 == 0)  //slot 2 = bar
  {
      object[1].SetView(2, 0, 0); //sets animation of slot 2 to bar
  }

  if (slot2 == 1)  //slot 2 = cherry
  {
      object[1].SetView(2, 0, 2); //sets animation of slot 2 to cherry
  }

  if (slot2 == 2) //slot 2 = seven
  {
      object[1].SetView(2, 0, 1); //sets animation of slot 2 to seven
  }

  if (slot2 == 3) //slot 2 = orange
  {
      object[1].SetView(2, 0, 3); //sets animation of slot 2 to orange
  }

  if (slot3 == 0) //slot 3 = bar
  {
      object[2].SetView(2, 0, 0); //sets animation of slot 3 to bar
  }

  if (slot3 == 1) //slot 3 = cherry
  {
    object[2].SetView(2, 0, 2); //sets animation of slot 3 to cherry
  }

  if (slot3 == 2) //slot 3 = seven
  {
    object[2].SetView(2, 0, 1); //sets animation of slot 3 to seven
  }

  if (slot3 == 3) //slot 3 = orange
  {
    object[2].SetView(2, 0, 3); //sets animation of slot 3 to orange
  }
 
  if (slot1 == 1 && slot2 == 1 && slot3 == 1) // three bars in a row
  {
    reward = 100; //the prize that is won
    cash = (cash+reward); //the new ammount of cash
    return cash;
  }
   
   if (slot1 == 3 && slot2 == 3 && slot3 == 3) // three sevens in a row
  {
    reward = 50; //the prize that is won
    cash = (cash+reward); //the new ammount of cash
    return cash;
  }
 
   if (slot1 == 3 && slot2 == 3 && slot3 == 3) // three oranges in a row
  {
    reward = 40; //the prize that is won
    cash = (cash+reward); //the new ammount of cash
    return cash;
  } 
   
    if (slot1 == 2 && slot2 == 2 && slot3 == 2) // three cherry's in a row
  {
    reward = 30; //the prize that is won
    cash = (cash+reward); //the new ammount of cash
    return cash;
  }
   
   if (slot1 == 2 && slot2 == 2) // two cherry's in a row
  {
    reward = 20; //the prize that is won
    cash = (cash+reward); //the new ammount of cash
    return cash;
  }
 
  }
  DisplayAt(155,  33,  300, "Your current cash is %d dollar", cash);
 
}

Okay, i'll take a look at it. If i find that it won't work i'll rename my int's and comments to english to make it more understandable for you because it's written in dutch  . At least i won't be bored today.

edit: And if it does work i'll post the script anyway incase you guys might want to use a slot machine in one of your games.

I'm not at home right now so i used this script as an example, maybe i just got it right this tie by luck  .

The actual script is a little bit more complex than this one, i'll browse through it again when i get home. If i still find that i'm having problems, would it be ok to post the actual script? (it's a bit long)

I am trying to make a slot machine with AGS but for some reason the reward system isn't working.
my script looks somewhat like this, what is wrong with it?

int cash;           // your money
int reward1 =20;   // the prize you win for three cherry's in a row
int slot1;      // the first slot
int slot2;      // the second slot
int slot3;      // the third slot

slot1 = random(3);  //gives the slot a number in wich 0 = bar, 1 = cherry, 2 = lime etc.
slot2 = random(3);
slot3 = random(3);

if(slot1 == 1 && slot2 == 1 && slot3 ==1) //three cherry's in a row
{
cash = (cash + reward1); // the prize added to your money
return cash;       // your new amount of money
}

Thanks for the quick reply. It works perfect now.

Could someone explain to me how to post multiple strings?
example: string name1 = "Bob";
                string name2 = "Bill";

Display("Hello "  name1 " and" name2);

I'm not sure how to script it but I hope this gives you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.
