actually, for simplicity and also since a slot machine doesn't do it anyway, we don't have to include the slowing down of "spinning". we just stop each number from "spinning" one by one. also, we shouldn't require the user hitting the button to make each number stop anyway since with a slot machine we just pull the lever and the machine stops the numbers by itself (although giving the user the ability to stop the numbers him/herself would be kind of a cool idea as well, but as you state you can't do it at the moment; but later on you can check out multi-threaded programming which will give you the ability to do that).
