Title: Fruit machine Cabinet
Post by: notroubleclubber on October 29, 2010, 08:57:23 am: Ive built and used my mame machine now for a while. Ive now noticed the excellent virtual pinball projects appearing and just wondered has anyone been successful in making a fruit machine in the same way?
Id like fruitys on my mame cab but not sure if its possible?
I know payouts would be a problem but im not too worried bout that.

But I have messed with a lot of the SWP type games which worked out cool for my little "multi" game/slot machine thingy I started to put together.

A gambling game very much, if not exactly, like a slot machine. But not like what I have played at a casino in the ten years I have been to one. From what I have seen, they seem to be European.

Your best bet is to find a PC version of slots. The best one in my opinion is:

Here's a youtube video of it in action:

I run the Reel Deal games on my little machine too. Works out nice with the buttons showing on a touchscreen monitor. ;)

There's also the Masque and Hoyle slot series to play with.

Post by: Paladin on November 01, 2010, 11:38:15 am: I've got the masque programs on my touchscreen setup. I installed the 'Little Green Men', 'Texas Tea' and 'Williams Double Pack'.

I put an IPac inside and hooked the space bar input to a real slot machine button. The space bar works as a 'repeat bet' button so once you select how many lines and credits you want, you can press the spin reels button to play the game.
