Seing all his attempts to push the buttons, regardless of the direction they are pointed to fail (ooc, that's how I read your previous answer, correct me if I'm wrong), Freih rotates each of them 3600 degrees counterclockwise (again, from the rightmost knob to the leftmost one). ...you tried to push the knobs earlier, not the buttons. Since knobs don't "push," they didn't. That's what I was saying. Freih turns the knobs (I assume that's what you mean, but you switch from buttons to knobs mid-sentence. Knobs is just what makes sense in context) 3600 degrees counterclockwise (or 10 full rotations), starting with the rightmost knob and proceeding left to the leftmost knob. The knobs have been turned. Nothing else happens.

Yes, anywhere I wrote buttons in my last post it should have been knobs. Anyway, Freih inspects the hidden lever on the left side of the machine, then pulls it and holds it down for a short while before releasing it.

Freih inspects the hidden lever on the left, finding nothing out of the ordinary and then pulls it and holds it for a short while. Yes. That's all that happens.

I stand in front of the slot machine and say, "lackadaisically insouciant chicanery."

I stand in front of the slot machine and say, "lackadaisically insouciant chicanery." (I was wondering when someone would say that... ) The two attendants clap their hands. Oh, wait, I guess that's just a sound the computers are playing... From the top of the Slot Machine, a little compartment rises up, and lights flash. When it stops moving, it appears to be in the shape of a gazebo or something, and the center holds a table which has a small silver button on top. Congratulations... Meanwhile, one of the computers prints out a sheet of paper with a riddle-like passage typed upon it. "Query a question of buttons hidden. Look back to find one given. Then search and seek a riddle in here, To travel on forth and make truth appear, And query sequentially; look for what you need. As with Diagon Alley, some patterns to proceed." What it means... I guess you'll have to find out!

Freih once again says "lackadaisically insouciant chicanery" in front of the Slot Machine. Just in case. And then on each side as well. He attempts to say it on top, but unfortunately fails to. He does his best nonetheless.
Ah, yes, and he approaches the others, asking "So... one hidden mechanism left, right (four have been revealed since Alydar was kind enough to tell us five had remained)? Or am I unable to count?"

He does his best nonetheless. It reveals nothing new, though the gazebo at the top begins spinning for a little while and then stops.

Or am I unable to count?" *cough*Only one's been revealed since then.*cough*

*cough*Only one's been revealed since then.*cough*WHAT? Anyway... Freih presses the new button. Then spins the Slo... er... the gazebo by saying that strange phrase and presses the new button while it spins.

The gazebo spins while you're saying the phrase, but you have to put your finger in the way to press the button, stopping the spinning... Oh, and nothing happens.

I don't remember what, but there was something that made me think that it may be possible to spin the Slot Machine for less than 5 tokens... So,
Freih inserts a token and then pulls the left, then right, then left hidden, and then right hidden lever (thus trying all four). He then pulls the levers in the same order with the Gazebo spinning. Freih repeats the above three more times (thus trying with 2,3, and 4 inserted coins).

You try pulling levers to spin the Slot Machine with only 1 token in. It doesn't spin. You try again with 2, 3, and 4 coins inserted. Again, it doesn't spin. Since you don't put any more tokens in... it times out, and the coin return activates, returning your silver tokens to you.

I attempt to spin the gazebo, not by saying the phrase, but by applying physical force. Then I inspect it. Then I press the button in it, folowed by the reel-stoppers left to right.

The gazebo doesn't spin from physical force. Inspecting it reveals nothing new. ...and neither does pressing the buttons in the order you did.

I say the phrase and estimate the angle at which the gazebo rotates (that should be possible either by counting "windows", or by counting the "things" that keep its ceiling in place). I do that thrice.
Excuse me for my use of English in this post.

I do that thrice. Excuse me for my use of English in this post. The gazebo rotates a full 360 degrees when the phrase is mentioned. If you pay close attention, you may notice that it rotates about 30 degrees per syllable of the phrase (assuming "lackadaisically" is 5 syllables, "insouciant" is 3, and "chicanery" is 4, which is how I pronounce it). It rotates the same amount each time the phrase is mentioned, or so it appears to the best of your knowledge and guestimation abilities.
