*33 OPINION
Convicted by jury of swindling in violation of NRS 465.070, appellant contends (1) his conduct did not violate the statute, (2) the trial court erred by admitting evidence of a prior offense, аnd (3) the trial court erred by admitting a photograph into evidence. 1 We disagree.
A Harrah’s gamе observer saw appellant playing a $5 token slot machine by inserting the token, pulling the handle about two-thirds of the way down then up, and then coming down on the handle with all his weight with both hands. Because such action can damage the ratchet dog pin, the mechanism which prevents a player from having control over the machine’s reels, the game observer reported this conduct to his supervisor. Harrah’s security personnel detained and questioned appellant at which time he gave a false name and address. A slot machine mechanic checked the machine and found the ratchet dog pin sheared thereby permitting a player to cheat the machine by walking the reels to line up pay-offs.
1. Appellant contends his conduct does not fall within the
*34
purviеw of NRS 465.070 because the evidence “wholly” failed to establish that he won any money. As appellant acknowledges, we will not disturb a judgment of conviction if suppоrted by substantial evidence. Mitchell v. State,
2. To rebut appellant’s testimony that he had never “walkеd” a slot machine, two witnesses were permitted to testify they had observed appellant walking the reels of a machine on a previous occasiоn. The trial court allowed the testimony to show “. . . proof of notice, opрortunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity or absence of mistake or accident” pursuant to NRS 48.045(2).

Even assuming the trial court erred in admitting the testimony, we find no reversible error because the evidence of appellant’s guilt is ovеrwhelming. Hendee v. State,
3. Finally, appellant contends he was somehow prejudiced by the admission of his wife’s photograph into evidence. However, the рhotograph is not included in the record, and thus, we will not consider appellаnt’s contention. Powers v. Johnson,
