Postillion Slot Machine

Hotel Postillion wanted a slot machine for its event stands, something guests can walk up to, press a button and try their luck. It had to feel like a real machine, work in both Dutch and English and run reliably on its own at a stand.

I built it in PlayCanvas in a week. Each of the five reels is a short strip of about seven tiles that loops, swapping images as they wrap, so the reels look endless while only a few tiles move. The spin eases in, runs fast, then overshoots slightly as it lands, like a real machine. The result is decided before the reels spin, and operators can set the win rate for each event. A designer at Enversed made the art, and I built the logic and animation from scratch.

The slot machine runs itself, with start, spin and result screens, a glowing win animation on the center row and an automatic reset after ten seconds.

The slot machine is deployed at Postillion events. It was a one-week project between bigger builds, and it does what it needs to do: it looks and feels like a real slot machine and runs on its own.
