A slot is a narrow opening in something that allows it to fit into something else, such as a door handle or a computer keyboard. A slot can also be a position in a schedule or program, for example when someone books an appointment with a doctor, they may book a time slot that is a week or more in advance. If something slots into something else, it fits easily into that space. The car seat belt slid into the buckle easily.<\/p>\n
A computer slot is an opening in a machine into which you can insert printed circuit boards. This is different from bays, which are sites in a computer into which you can install disk drives. Slots are not to be confused with expansion slots, which are additional locations within a computer into which you can install more than one type of board.<\/p>\n
In ice hockey, the slot is the area of the rink between the face-off circles in the offensive zone. The area below the circles is called the low slot, while the area above them is known as the high slot.<\/p>\n
In electromechanical slot machines, the mechanical reels were spun by a crank or handle that caused the coin to drop into the slot. Modern slot machines are driven by microprocessors, which assign a probability to each symbol on a reel and determine whether a winning combination occurs. The odds of a particular symbol are shown on the paytable, but they can vary slightly from machine to machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
