I keep on get this error:

```
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at SlotMachinePanel.<init>(SlotMachinePanel.java:55)
    at SlotMachineDriver.main(SlotMachineDriver.java:16)

```

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, am I referencing the images to the wrong spot? I tried debugging but I'm not sure what the issue is. Please advise me on what to do. 

Below is my code

I also have a driver set up 

```
//Driver for SlotsMachinePanel 

import javax.swing.JFrame; 

public class SlotMachineDriver

 //-------------------------------- 
 // Creates the main program frame. 
 //-------------------------------- 
 public static void main (String[] args) 
 { 
 JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Slot Machine"); 
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 

 frame.getContentPane().add(new SlotMachinePanel()); 

 frame.pack(); 
 frame.setVisible(true); 
 } 
}
