What is a skill stop?

[Julio88]

A "skill stop" is a feature found in some slot machines that allows the player to manually stop the spinning reels before they finish their spin. This means that the outcome of the spin is partially based on the player's timing and skill in stopping the reels. Skill stop buttons were introduced in slot machines as a way to get around gambling laws that prohibited the automatic payout of prizes. With skill stop buttons, the player could control the game outcome to some extent, making it more of a game of skill than pure chance.

A skill stop is a feature found on many Pachislo slot machines. It is a button that allows players to stop the reels at any time during a spin. This can be used to increase the odds of winning, as it allows players to stop the reels on symbols that are more likely to pay out.
