Slot Machine Simulation
A slot machine is a gambling device into which the user inserts money and then pulls a lever (or presses a button). The slot machine then displays a set of random images. If two or more of the images match, the user wins an amount of money that the slot machine dispenses back to the user.
Create an application that simulates a slot machine. Figure 8-23 (on page 539 of your book) shows an example of how the form should look. The application should let the user enter into a TextBox the amount of money he or she is inserting into the machine. When the user clicks the Spin button, the application should display three randomly selected symbols. (Slot machines traditionally display fruit symbols. You will find a set of fruit symbols attached to this dropbox for your use - from the Student Sample Programs provided by the book author.)
If none of the randomly displayed images match, the program should inform the user that he or she has won…
Assignment Description
This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee!
This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game.
A Yahtzee score card has two portions:
The upper portion has spaces for six scores, obtained by adding up all of the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc.
The lower portion has special scores for various combinations:
Three of a kind -- at least 3 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice
Four of a kind -- at least 4 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice
Small straight -- four consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 2345;the score is 25 points
Large straight -- five consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 23456;the score is 30 points
Full House -- three of one kind, two of another; the score is 30 points
Yahtzee! -- five of a kind; the…

For tax purposes an item may be depreciated over a period of several years, n.With the straight line method of depreciation, each year the item depreciates by 1/nth of itsoriginal value. With the double declining balance method of depreciation, each year the itemdepreciates by 2/nths of its value at the beginning of that year. (In the final year it is depreciatedby its value at the beginning of the year.)Write a program that performs the following tasks:1.1 Request a depreciation of the item, the year of purchase, the cost of the item, the number ofyears to be depreciated (estimated life), and the method of depreciation. The method ofdepreciation should be chosen by clicking on one of two buttons.1.2 Display a year by year description of the depreciation.
