Operation "Video Poker Machine" begins
pinballwizard79:
I bought the cabinet for $10.00
The monitor was free.
Poker buttons were bought on ebay.
Keywhiz was a leftover (must have forgot I already had one during one of my last few builds).
PC was bought on ebay too, apx $100 for a little slimline desktop thats only purpose is to run video poker/slots.
I have to cut/install a new MDF front panel with a piano hinge + reinstall the restored coin door (it will be non working however), then after making the monitor shelf its time to sand, fill, prime, fleck/texture & finally paint this bad boy.
All existing chrome (less t-molding) will be cleaned & polished back to new. I will have new plexi cut & some VERY custom red/white/blue artwork printed up for a bezel & CPO as well. Of course t-molding will be new as well :P.
For the bezel & control panel I found my inspiration in the backglass of Sterns WPT pinball machine. Fear not WPT & Stern license holders, I said inspiration. I did a quick paintbrush cut/paste to give you all an idea of what to expect.
Overall this should be a pretty simple project when compared to arcade building.
Wish me luck!

What software are you using? Everything I see online of video poker is only trial based and it looks like junk. Plus you have to use the mouse. And to top it off they don't look authentic. The ones in vegas look like they are DOS based or something. Which is what I want.
Is the software you're using have more than one type of game? I'd like to have those multi video gambling machines that can do Black Jack, Keno, Texas Hold Em, poker and other stuff.
What about the coin thing. Do they have coin mechanisms that pay out if your winning? In coins that is, not some printed receipt like Vegas has suckingly started doing.

Software: well if need be I will go custom programming by my little brother who is in many ways out of this world (he spent his christmas money on Quantum mechanics videos at age 13).....yeah, we drink a lot & argue points of the big bang vs constantine's solidification of christianity from the isis/horus beliefs into western lifestyle stating otherwise.
Wait, you didnt ask about that, sorry.
Anyway its just a fake dollar mech with a button on it. No payouts, just a rolling total in game & something to do inbetween foosball tourneys.
