Comparing matching values randomly picked from a list

I’m trying to make a slot machine. When testing if the jackpot worked, I found out that even if all three slots are equal to each other, it will only calculate the winnings as if there were only two matching slots.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import random
    a = 'orange'
    b = 'strawberry'
    c = 'pineapple'
    d = 'apple'
    e = 'jackpot'
    slots = [a, b, c, d, e]
    winnings = 0
    
    print('Play slot machine? (yes or no)')
    play = input()
    while play == 'yes':
        print('Please enter a bet amount:')
        bet = float(input())
        slot1 = random.choice(slots)
        slot2 = random.choice(slots)
        slot3 = random.choice(slots)
        print(slot1, " ", slot2, " ", slot3)
        if slot1 == slot2:
            winnings = bet*2
        elif slot2 == slot3:
            winnings = bet*2
        elif slot1 == slot3:
            winnings = bet*2
        elif slot1 == slot2 == slot3:
            winnings = bet*4
        elif all(slot1 and slot2 and slot3) == e:
            winnings = bet*10
        else:
            winnings = 0
        
        print(winnings)
        print('Play slot machine again? (yes or no):')
        play = input()

Winnings should be 250 since all three slots are the jackpot, but winnings are 50

I tried making them all elifs, but as expected, that didn’t work.

>Solution :

elif is hurting you how you have this set up.

If, in the case where s1 == s2 == s3, the first if statement (s1 == s2), is executed, and no other elif block is further executed.

If you flip the order of your elif chain, you should get the result you expect.

import random

if __name__ == '__main__':
    a = 'orange'
    b = 'strawberry'
    c = 'pineapple'
    d = 'apple'
    e = 'jackpot'
    slots = [a, b, c, d, e]
    winnings = 0
    
    print('Play slot machine? (yes or no)')
    play = input()
    while play == 'yes':
        print('Please enter a bet amount:')
        bet = float(input())
        slot1 = random.choice(slots)
        slot2 = random.choice(slots)
        slot3 = random.choice(slots)
        print(slot1, " ", slot2, " ", slot3)

        winnings = 0

        if slot1 == slot2 == slot3:
            if slot1 == e: # all are e
              winnings = bet*10
            else:
              winnings = bet*4
        elif slot1 == slot2:
            winnings = bet*2
        elif slot2 == slot3:
            winnings = bet*2
        elif slot1 == slot3:
            winnings = bet*2
        
        print(winnings)
        print('Play slot machine again? (yes or no):')
        play = input()
