Hi guys,
Initially, my first point here is; if the mods here regard this as advertising, please feel free to remove my company's web address from this topic. Please don't remove the thread as I'd appreciate the feedback from the site's members.
Now, onto the matter in hand...
If my company (www.kase-eo.co.uk) was to design and build a ready-to-go cabinet for fruit emulation, who would buy one?
We've just about covered the market regarding cabinets for emulation software, as well as several other gaming projects, so we thought, why not put our skills into the one emulation scene that seems to have 'lost-out'?
Our conceptual design would be to have a dual screen cabinet AND buttons.
The top screen would be a touch screen model, allowing any 'extra' buttons to be pressed (Take a Chance, etc). The lower screen would display the reels (as you'd expect) but would probably have the buttons hidden and have 'real' illuminated buttons below it (to give it that 'real-look-and-feel').
A coin mech could be fitted to use as your personal 'money-box' but a hopper/money tray would not (as we'd be going into gambling territory as opposed to 'entertainment-machine').
So, my questions:
1, Would you buy one?
2, If so, how much would you pay for one? (complete machine with new PC, monitors, audio, illuminated buttons etc...)
3, What would you change about our 'conceptual design'?
It would be nice to receive as many replies as possible, even if it's "I wouldn't buy one", so we'd know if it's worth the time and money that would have to go into the design process.
Thanks for reading,
Adam.
