Slot machine help

[Ch1156]

Im making a slot machine and im trying to make it so it picks random symbols but it just keeps picking the @ symbol all the time, why is that?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
#include <random>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int spin;
    int TIME;

    char result1;
    char result2;
    char result3;
    char result4;
    char result5;

    char a = '@';
    char b = '$';
    char c = '*';
    char d = '#';
    char e = '&';

    time_t T;
    ctime(&T);
    srand(T);

    TIME = rand() % 5;

    cout << "Enter 's' to spin\n" << endl;

        switch(TIME)
        {
            case 0:
                result1 = a;
                break;
            case 1:
                result2 = b;
                break;
            case 2:
                result3 = c;
                break;
        }

        cout << result1 << endl;
        cout << result2 << endl;
        cout << result3 << endl;
}

If you're going to use the time as your random seed, you need to actually get the time, using the time function.

srand ( time(NULL) );

Additionally, only use srand (time(NULL)); once per execution of the code. I.E. place it as the first line in int main. this will prevent duplicate results.
