Borderlands 3 Slot Machine Heads
I ran the slot machines in Sanctuary III for a total of 400 times to try to determine the Legendary drop rates from the slot machines during this event. I know it's a small sample size, but with their proportions being so large it was easy to assume the drop rates from my runs. If anyone is interested in the actual results they are as follows.

Slot machines are found in Moxxi's Den in Sanctuary, The Holy Spirits just outside Outlook, and in an abandoned house with two vendors outside in The Dust. By using them, cash will be taken from you and the three reels will spin. This cost scales upwards as the player progresses the main quest. Depending on what they stop on, you may be rewarded.
Slot cost is determined by the formula: 1.12^L * 48, where L is the items level, you may be rolling for items below or above your actual character level.
Lining up 3 of a kind gives you special rewards:
- 7 — gives you a customization item.
- Bandit Head — drops a grenade that deals massive damage in a large area, so get out of there fast! The machine will play a sound clip of someone saying 'Boom time!' and the grenade will beep much like a Suicide Psycho's grenade does.
- Single Eridium Bar — will give you 4 Eridium.
- Stack of 2 Eridium Bars — will give you 8 Eridium.
- Stack of 3 Eridium Bars — will give you 12 Eridium and complete the 'Jackpot!' challenge.
- Borderlands Logo — will give you an orange weapon of your level and complete the 'Jackpot!' challenge.
- Markus Head — will give you a purple weapon of your level.
- Leg — will give you a blue weapon of your level.
- Cherry — will give you a green weapon of your level.
- Bell — will give you a large amount of cash.
Other combinations containing the same symbol in the first two positions will give either a white weapon of your level (if the third symbol is a bandit head) or cash (if the third symbol is a bell or the first two are bells and the third anything other than a bandit head).
If there are no matches at all, or if symbols other than the first two match (i.e. A-B-A or B-A-A) a three note sound will play and no reward will be received.
