In a slot machine, players insert cash or, in the case of ticket-in, ticket-out machines, paper tickets with barcodes into a designated slot on the machine and then activate a lever or button (physical or electronic) to spin the reels and stop them at random. The machine then pays out credits based on the combinations of symbols on its paytable. Modern machines use microprocessors to determine what combinations are most likely, a process known as elaborating a probability tree.

In slot machining, it is generally recommended to cut slots in two or more passes to achieve high material removal rates. It is also advisable to allow adequate space between the cutting tooth and the workpiece to enable chip evacuation. Interrupted cutting should be avoided as it reduces the efficiency of machining and can lead to vibrations and a poor surface finish.
