  • Read our How to Ask page - it tells you what is an acceptable question. SO is for programming questions. If you want the name of an UI element in English, you could either go to the English language Stack Exchange or the UX Stack Exchange. This has very little (if any) to do with programming

  • Good point. Can this question be migrated to UX stack exchange?

    That last bit of linked code provides a nice bit of simulation of the 'bounce' of a real slot machine, - so to be more accurate you could add "rolling numbers counter with slot machine affect"
