Title: Video Poker Machine
Post by: WhereEaglesDare on August 05, 2010, 06:38:15 pm
Any good plans for Video Poker Machines?  Any recommendations for getting parts, like the lit buttons, the hold, stay, hit buttons, slot machine arms, and the top loading coin slots?

As far as buttons, search for 8 liner or cherry master. 
Usually, the covers can be removed so you can insert labels on top of the diffusers. 

I just got some in the mail.  I popped the cover off one to see if I could do it without marring anything (barely).
You have to wedge something sharp down in next to it and tweak it.

Other than that, I have no experience with them.  Gonna make a template and experiment with regular paper and ink-jet transparency labels this weekend.
(they are going in my driving cab as view & radio buttons  :D )

There are also some older touchscreen games in MAME too, but I haven't heard if anyone has had any luck with them.
I have a little 12" touchscreen running off a Megatouch board that it wouldn't be hard to hook up to my MAME computer and try, but I've never gotten around to it.
