Hi all,

Anyone knows how I can do a simple slot machine which can pick random names based on the names I put in the text area?

It is almost similar to this [http://classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit\_machine/](http://classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit_machine/)

But I want the chosen name to be in the middle instead of the top and more random.
