I translated the comments in the file as well for a complete English version if someone is interested.
I translated too:

I re-post a link for above mentioned version I found of MSAMPLE.BAS for the case someone want it.

Many thanks again, GianGiacomo.
Thanks a lot to Gdx and the others too.

Dead link! File does not exist anymore! Where can I download it?!
TINY-yarou has released an extended version

You can also copy and paste the listing above to a text editor and save it as plain text with the name "SLOT.BAS".
