I liked the idea of being a slot machine but I wanted something that would actually work. I made the box out of insulation board which I then covered in aluminum shelving paper from Lowes. I ordered actual slot machine reel pictures from eBay which I put on plastic cylinders I found. The wheels spun on a metal rod. I also found refurbished slot machine buttons on eBay as well. I used lights behind the pictures to make it appear that they were glowing. I made the handle out of PVC and a red ball. I kept the box even on my shoulders by using suspenders. I used small portable speakers to play the slot machine music when people hit the buttons.
I printed out the graphics on transparent sticker paper to it would blend into the ‘box’ part of the costume.

I want one of these! Would you be willing to sell or provide build instructions?
I would be willing to sell it, but it would probably cost a small fortune to ship lol. If you want to leave you email address I’d be happy to provide instructions the best I can!
To be honest I doubt that I would be able to complete it as I do not have access to some of the tools that I expect would be needed and also I am just not that crafty, lol. However, I do live in Wisconsin. If this page is correct, you live in Iowa? I would not mind picking it up on my way to Las Vegas for Halloween. I will be driving there later this month and could easily pick this up on the way. How much would you be looking to sell it for?
