Hey guys... I have ben [playing with the idea of building my own slot machine from bits and pieces such as a coin mech, a I.Pac usb interface and a Mini ITX motherboard. Now all I am thinking about is the software/OS to run it. I would love one of the newer looking type game would be great but happy with what ever I could find, Free would be even better. I have played with the AllJ slots software but don't want to pay $400 bucks for the software if I can build something simple. Thanks for any help guys

Just use one of those packaged slot software games for the PC.  Masque sells IGT and some bally slots simulations and Phantom FX sells the wms kind.

A slot collector is like a coin hopper in a machine that never pays out.  they just keep on accumulating assets.

mame has limited slot support other than Players Edge games.  If you want the modern video slots, those programs are the way to go, they are like $20 and have well over 15 games each.

No they don't, but if I understand correctly there is an interface for the Player's Edge under MAME emulation.

I am actually in the process of writing a few of my own video poker and slot programs, but the project has been on hold... I will keep you up to date as it progresses... I will have multi-machine player's tracking and coin support.

I am also interested in doing this but just haven't had the time. There is a program called MAME Hooker that might help you out with this. Somehow it allows you to trace the signal for different features. I have heard of other members using this program to make their own video poker machines. Good luck with your project !
