Help Please

First Question: how do i get a random number from an array. i have made an array from 1..45, and declared what each one is, it has 1..9 are 1, 1..17 are 2 and so on. and i want to get a random one of these from the array.
Second Question: How do i make an if that does someting like this:
IF check = check1 then
begin
(then i make things multiply).
end;
(i would be doing this for checker = check and check1, check = checker

and checker = check1.
Third Question: how would i make a hold function(i am making a fruit machine)that has a 5050 chance to get to hold, and you can hold upto 2 columns(out of 3).
to help in answering i have posted my entire program below.
Thanks in advance, ~megamidge11
