The slot machine and slot machine prototype are constructible settlement objects added in the Fallout 4 add-on Vault-Tec Workshop.
Characteristics
The slot machine increases the happiness of the settlement. The additional effects it gives depends on the parameter you picked in Lady Luck, it also changes your settler's comments when using it. Indentured Servitude provides 3 caps per settler per workshop reset, Customer Profiling provides 1 cap and 5 points to settlement Happiness, Lost Revenue provides 15 bonus happiness. All options require one power to run.
In order for it to work, it needs to be hooked up to a power source.
All three versions improve the Sole Survivor's Luck by 1 after use. This effect lasts until a different Vault-Tec Workshop exercise equipment item is used.
Crafting
The prototype is located in the Special section of the workshop crafting menu during Lady Luck. Once the quest is finished, the slot machine is located under Resources → Vault.

Notes
- Workbenches only hold 50 caps maximum from income; generating net-zero profit after 16 days (or less), and/or creating diminishing returns with 16 (or more) slot machines per day.
- All settlers will use the slot machine, including guards, vendors, and provisioners who will sometimes leave their posts to play.
- Having guards who are playing and not in their posts have no penalty of the settlement defense value, but it may cause them to be not where one needs them if enemies attack your settlement, especially at night when everyone else is asleep and they are free to use the machines.
- Having more machines will multiply this effect since it means more guards can play at the same time.
