CHAPTER 1

OVERVIEW
Current State of Technology
Mobile device nowadays is one of the most usable and
reliable device. It is considered as one of the newly
invented technology, it serves as the major communication
device in todays generation. There are varieties of mobile
devices on todays technology or also known as mobile
phones, it is designed and developed by eligible
developers.
Mobile applications are designed by programmers using
different types of IDE, these applications are installed to
the mobile phones to make it more reliable and user-
friendly.
Mobile application depends on the compatibility of
mobile phones. Mobile application has a wide range of
variety such as social networking, games, music,
organization and lifestyle.
Some people are getting addicted playing gamble games
that are most likely found in public places. The most known
gamble game is the slot machine.
The most popular form of gambling today is the slot
machine and it generates up to 70% of the casinos income.
The slot machine has now been around for more than 100
2


years and has seen many changes. (http://www.reviewed-
casinos.com/articles/slots-rng.html#more-1782)
Thus, the researcher came up with the software title
ZYX Rhythm it will serve as a gamble game specifically a
slot machine-like interface which will serve as a game of
luck that needs strategy to win the jackpot. According to
the article from allslotcasino.com, every mobile slot game
has its own rules and its own pay table. Some of the games
have wild symbols, scatter symbols, free spins features,
and special bonus games. There are also mobile slot games
with progressive jackpots.
To play the game the player inserts coins into the
slot and activates the machine by pulling on a
lever/button, in the case of the earlier machines. In the
case of the latest machines, the player presses a symbol on
the touch screen. The lever or the symbol sets the reels in
motion. The lineup of the images painted on the reels, and
on the screens in case of the modern machines, decides the
outcome.
The machine gives the illusion of skill being
required; actually it is simply a game of chance. If the
images in the pay line match, the player wins. If they do
not match, the player loses. Sometimes, a player may win on
the basis of single images; however, that depends on the
3


pay-table being used. While the general principle behind a
slot game remains the same there are several variations to
the game. (www.reviewed-casinos.com/articles/development-
of-slot-machines.html)
Statement of the Problem
The main problem of the study is to develop and design the
ZYX Rhythm.
Specifically, this study sought to answer the following
questions:
1. How would this application be introduced to the
public?
2. How the application would fit compatibility
requirements of a mobile phone.
Research Objectives
General Objectives
The general objective of the study is to develop and design
the ZYX Rhythm.
Specific Objectives
The following were the specific objectives of the study:
1. To be able to introduce the application to the public.
2. To provide an application that would fit compatibility
requirements of the mobile phone.

Scope and Limitation
The software ZYX Rhythm is a mobile application that
serves as a gamble game. It is a slot machine that requires
bet in every spin. The game will start with tutorials that
will lead the user how to play the game.
The combinations of the following are musical notes,
different combination of notes are indicated with a
particular points. Starting points will be at 500, in every
spin the points will be reduced according to the specific
bets. Bets are from 5, 10 to 15.
There will be 1 enigma earned per 1000 points. When
the user reaches 8000 points it will lead jump to the
jackpot round with 8 enigmas. These enigmas stand for one

The users must be 18 years old and above. ZYX Rhythm
application will only run on mobile devices which have java
capabilities.
Significance of the Research
Through this study, the researchers were able to apply
their knowledge and skills in programming to developed the
ZYX Rhythm mobile application and also developed the
confidence of each researcher to use new tools or
5


technologies in developing the ZYX Rhythm mobile
application.
This study will serve as an easy reference to the
future researchers. That will give the researchers
appropriate information on how to develop a certain mobile
applications according to the requirements needed of the
mobile devices and the users.
This studys product will benefit the users because it
will give an alternative source of entertainment. Instead
of playing on slot machines in the casino, which is very
costly. The users can now play slot on their mobile phones.
