Usage Note

Slots is an anglicism used in Spanish for slot machines (máquinas tragaperras in Spain, tragamonedas in Latin America) as well as for time slots or allocation slots in scheduling and computing contexts. It is typically used unchanged in the plural; the singular slot also appears. In tech and business Spanish, slot has largely displaced native alternatives.

Examples
