help with three games menu program

Hello,

I am having trouble to get my program to work. My compiler keeps giving me debug error messages that I do not understand how to fix the syntactical errors.

What I want the game menu program to do is:
1) Have a main menu with 3 hypothetical games (Slot Machine is one of them I already have coded but doesn't seem to work with the whole program)

2) When the user selects "Game Stats" they are given the option to view a game's stats as well as the option to Delete any User and their score for the respective Game.

Any help is appreciated,I have posted the code that I have worked on so far below.

Thank You.

  #include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
//*****MENU*****


void menuOptions (int x){
    cout << "****Welcome to Game Menu****"<<endl;
    cout << "Your starting money is " << x << endl;
    cout << "Select Game:"<<endl;
    cout << "Game 1 Slot Machine - Press 1"<<endl;
    cout << "Game 2 - Press 2"<<endl;
    cout << "Game 3 - Press 3"<<endl;
    cout << "View Game Stats - Press 4"<<endl;
    cout << "Exit - Press 5" <<endl;

Line 21 and 44,
Why do you have two int main() ?
You can only have one int main().

AbstractionAnon (6954)

I don't wish to be harsh, but your code is a mess.

Line 21,44: You can't have two main functions. In fact line at line 44, you're trying to nest functions. C++ does not support nested functions.

I STRONGLY recommend that you put each game in it's own function. Otherwise, main() will get unwieldy.

Line 31: You're missing two }. One to terminate the if. One to terminate the function.

Line 194: Do not call srand() within a loop or a random number function. srand() sets the RNG to a particular starting point. Calling srand() repeatedly can cause the RNG to return the same random numbers. srand() should be called ONCE at the beginning of main().
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/srand/

Line 230-232: You have extraneous }}

Line 233-233: These lines don't seem to belong within getStopOrder(). Put viewStats in its own function.
