I hate slot machines! The idea of sitting there forever, pushing the “spin reels” button, waiting for the big payoff until I’m dead behind the eyes… sounds more like purgatory than casino action. But old ladies in jumpsuits obviously love this crap and, let’s face it, casinos wouldn’t be casinos without all those flashing lights and musical reels, right?

iSlots is a super-accurate reproduction of your basic single-payline casino slot machine. It plays the music (optional), shows your total credits, number of credits to bet, and how much your last payout was. The only thing it doesn’t do is let you pull the arm down – you have to use the Spin Reels or Play Max buttons.

If mindless reel-spinning is what you’re in the mood for, iSlots definitely delivers it in style. Chris Miles has done an awesome job of recreating the slot machine experience all the way down to the terrible odds of “winning” more credits, and he even built it to let you listen to your own music while you play! And no, you don’t have to turn the game’s sound off to make this happen. That right there is huge, and to me it seems like pretty solid evidence that other developers who can’t (or won’t) let you listen to iPod music while an app is running just aren’t trying hard enough.
