I am continuing the additions to my game room with a virtual slot machine. It has 10 games to choose from and a real Bally slot machine arm with a very satisfying feel. ![20220623_111439](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/5/540428fcdd8fbc4afab5a1a21b837d6bdeb07742.jpeg) ![20220623_111445](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/b/b9778e21f9e845a45b6d317480cb57f6c444b531.jpeg) ![20220623_111456](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/c/a/ca7f5ce1a384aef5b36a6308cbde81aef0fd692b.jpeg) ![20220623_111838](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/e/e2e928b847d5e1d32f63c2a2d4ca45d30d6ed1f1.jpeg) And a quick video with the machine on “Auto Play.” > **[Virtual slot machine — "Auto Play" mode.](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_-TGsWYxJbI)** > > Built with Onefinity CNC, CO2 laser, plain old woodworking, and some technical know-how. ---

Mine is not nearly as cool, but I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt. I accidentally rounded out a few of the corners trying to widen the through-holes a bit, but it’s not really visible in the final product. ![20220615_094401](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/4/4/4466ca044c96571a7b44a90c4059fa89d21d47c4.jpeg) ![20220616_225925](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/c/d/cd22fb5c838641f6c5015459c814e03b69f07c1a.jpeg) ![20220616_225935](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/d/5/d5e39d6fac1a31dfbac5d51a3255d51fbe9506bc.jpeg) The red and yellow are a bit hard to see in the photos above due to the camera, but it looks like this in person. ![multi-slots-sign-4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/5/5dc83bf75bfc1f21de99d6c37fc67f9115b0d8e5.jpeg) Speaker grille, made from layers. ![20220618_170946](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/2/283191b7d96b5250e4966af2fe3a69eb9ea04fac.jpeg) Wiring, from the back. ![20220623_092654](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/7/71ae23b2d95b172aa7b5a2c53e9d8f45bb23ae02.jpeg) Finish panels and Z-brackets. ![20220623_094112](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/7/d/7da64377ba492564511acb6f8f721ffeebe3ab3d.jpeg) The acrylic panels on the front are 1/4" thick.

I used the following 12V strips in both red and yellow. It has cut marks every 1cm and is very flexible. You can also cut the silicone slightly longer than the internal LED strips as needed to fill gaps. Was easy enough to solder. There are only 2 contacts (12V DC+/-) as the color is pre-determined, so no data line to mess with. > **[Amazon.com: Lamomo LED Neon Flex, 16.4ft/5m Red Neon Light Strip, 12V Flexible...](https://www.amazon.com/Lamomo-Flexible-Waterproof-Silicone-Decoration/dp/B08SHZZ45X?tag=benmyers-20)** > > Amazon.com: Lamomo LED Neon Flex, 16.4ft/5m Red Neon Light Strip, 12V Flexible Waterproof Neon LED Strip, Silicone LED Neon Rope Light for Kitchen Bedroom Indoor Outdoor Decoration（Power Adapter no Included : Tools & Home Improvement ---

Thanks. But nothing I did here is too crazy. At its simplest, this is just a collection of small projects combined to make a bigger one. You have some great-looking projects too, and I’m sure you could make something like this if you wanted. ---

Nicely done. Part of my reasoning for buying my Journeyman was to eventually build my own pinball machine. that’s pretty far down the list so far but love seeing examples in the same vein. ---

Thanks. I also built the pinball machine and arcade pedestal in the photos above. But this was before I upgraded to the Onefinity. I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting links to a different CNC vendor’s forum, but I’ll add them here for reference if you would like to take a look or get ideas. > **[Matticustard's Musings (continued) - Virtual Pinball Machines!](https://forum.v1engineering.com/t/matticustards-musings-continued-virtual-pinball-machines/26468)** > > Hi all, it’s been a while since I had anything really cool to post, but I think this one makes the cut.

I’ve got another fun project to share that will be taking its spot next to the recently completed pinball machine.

I imagine some of the links in the posts are no longer valid, but I will be around if you decide to move forward with your project and will do my best to answer any questions. Much of the virtual pinball community moved to discord shortly after I built my machine due to one of the main websites shutting down over personal grievances, and I haven’t really touched the software since. ---

I’ve thought about a virtual machine but have been working on sketches and design for some time for a fully analog machine, two of them actually. One Fifth Element Themed and another Beasty Boys music themed machine. I’d can design and build but when I dig in will need a programming partner and if I’m honest, electronics help. Thanks for the offer for help and the links. ---

I ran into a similar issue getting the button wiring synced properly. What really helped me was double-checking the debounce timing in the code and making sure each switch had consistent pressure. I also grabbed a few tips from non-ukcasinos where they talk about arcade-style builds—it gave me a better idea of how real machines handle inputs. ---
