9 – Puggy (Scottish English Slang)
Also called Puggies, it is a term for something playful and is meant as a term for endearment and fondness!

The classic name. The slot refers to the currency detector hole that you ‘slot’ you money into. Any gambling machine without one of these isn’t truly a slot machine.

5 – One-Armed Bandits (American English)
