Configuration File

Main Files

SS-SlotMachine is configured mainly from these files:

• config.lua: Main configuration — shipped to clients, so it contains no secrets: language, open key, bets, machine locations, paytable, and the notification function.

• s/config.lua: Server-only — Discord webhook and the whole payout engine (house edge, phase thresholds, seed bank, big-win threshold, symbol weights). Never sent to clients.

• l/l.lua: Lua translations.

• config.js: NUI / interface translations.

• s/s.lua: Server game engine.

• c/c.lua: Client (props, blips, prompts, NUI bridge).

• UI/: The slot machine interface.

config.lua

Config = {
    Language = "EN",       -- EN / RO / IT / DE / FR / ES / PT
    Key = 0xD9D0E1C0,      -- key to open the slot machine
    Blips = 1243830185,    -- blip sprite used on the map
    Distance = 1.5,        -- how close the player must be to get the prompt

    Bets = {1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25},

    UseTable = "p_plantstand01x", -- prop used as table under the machine

    Locations = {
        [1] = {-310.0323, 798.0159, 118.0197, -123.3176, "oldslotmachine", false, true},
        -- ... one entry per machine (16 included by default)
    },

    Payouts = {
        jolly     = { [5]=100 },
        badge     = { [2]=4,   [3]=16,  [4]=25, [5]=50 },
        shoes     = { [3]=12,  [4]=20,  [5]=30 },
        wagon     = { [3]=8,   [4]=14,  [5]=20 },
        horse     = { [2]=2,   [3]=4,   [4]=8,  [5]=16 },
        revolver  = { [2]=1,   [3]=2,   [4]=6,  [5]=12 },
    },
}

Bets — The Only Thing You Must Adapt

The highest bet in the list defines the whole machine: every payout phase threshold is computed as a multiple of it, so the machine feels exactly the same on every server — same win frequency, same bonus frequency, same return — only the dollar scale changes.

-- small economy server:
Bets = {1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25},

-- big economy server:
Bets = {10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500},

Machine Locations

[17] = {x, y, z, heading, "oldslotmachine", true, true},
--                          prop             |     |
--                          show map blip ---+     |
--                          spawn table under -----+

Keep the numeric indexes unique and sequential. Each machine gets its own bank row in the database automatically on the next restart.

---

Paytable

Config.Payouts maps [how many symbols in a row from the left] = multiplier. JOLLY substitutes any symbol; 5× JOLLY pays 100× the bet.

⚠️ If you change these values, also update the paytable in UI/UI.html and re-verify the RTP — wrong values can make the machine unprofitable for the house. The shipped values are calibrated by simulation.

Server Config (s/config.lua)

This file is loaded only on the server — nothing in it is ever sent to players.

ConfigServer = {
    WebHook = "YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK", -- enter / exit / big win logs

    HouseEdge = 0.08, -- 8% house profit; players get 92% back

    Steps = {
        Small    = 10, -- bank >= 10 x MaxBet -> "small" phase
        Normal   = 25, -- bank >= 25 x MaxBet -> "normal" phase
        Wild     = 50, -- bank >= 50 x MaxBet -> BONUS mode
        WildExit = 20, -- bonus ends below 20 x MaxBet
    },

    SeedBank = 12,  -- starting bank for new machines (x MaxBet)
    BigWinLog = 20, -- wins >= 20 x bet are logged on the webhook

    Weights = {
        -- symbol weights per phase, calibrated by simulation
        -- DO NOT change without re-verifying the RTP
    },
}

• HouseEdge: The % of every bet the house keeps. Global RTP is mathematically guaranteed = 1 - HouseEdge:

HouseEdge = 0.08, -- 8% house profit (players get 92% back)  <- default, recommended
HouseEdge = 0.15, -- 15% house profit (players get 85% back) <- greedier
HouseEdge = 0.05, -- 5% house profit (players get 95% back)  <- very generous

• Steps: Phase thresholds in multiples of your max bet — controls how often the BONUS triggers and how long it lasts.

• SeedBank: New machines start with this bank (× max bet) so they are playable immediately on a fresh install.

• BigWinLog: Webhook alert threshold, as a multiple of the bet.

• Weights: Symbol weights per phase, calibrated by simulation — do not change them unless you know how to re-verify the RTP.

Notifications

Plug in your own notify system at the bottom of config.lua:

function NOTIFY(text)
    exports["SS-Notify"]:Notify("INFO", "~#ffcc00~Slot Machine!~e~", text, "notify_dead_drop", 6000, "middle-left", "circle", "#ffcc00")
end

---

Database

You do not need to import any SQL. On first start the script automatically creates the ss_slotmachine table and one row per machine. Each new machine starts with a small seeded bank so it is playable immediately.
