This is a great project! I loved playing bingo machines as a kid in my uncles gas station. Curious how you will set up all of the button options available. Some had buttons on the lockdown bar, some on the coin doors, ETC...

Quoted from bingopodcast:Hey alexanr1 - no, I have not taken on any of the dynamic (backglass animation) games yet. I initially started with Night Club, but being thrown into the deep end of modeling the mixers, reflex, control unit, etc. was a little much with the added challenge of how to handle illuminated moving artwork.
By Magic Card, do you mean 'The Twist'? That's actually one of the games I am most excited to play, as it appears to give the player a lot of opportunity for scoring in a similar method to the Magic Screen games, but without the section scoring.
I'm working through the games right now that have smaller amounts of portioning - 'The Twist' is also unique in that it will tell you what the next coin will grant. I'm also curious to know if that will translate into lots of additional coins.
I've never played a 'The Twist' in real life, but the nice thing is that assuming my portioning is correct, I will get at least the basic experience.
As far as difficulty, I don't think it will be too difficult to either model that game or work out the portioning. The backglass animation will be done in three layers - one for the outer artwork, one for the inner card artwork, and a third for the numbers (on the chain mechanism in the real game). The third layer will actually slide from side-to-side, rather than rotate. But that's mainly because I'm not a 3D animator (yet), haha!
Each of the games will have animation that is fairly similar - meaning, it will move on 2D planes - but I can stack them as deep as I want. Lamps actually are another layer on top of the backglass artwork.
Hope that answers your question - if not, just let me know.
I'm itching to play again... I've been sitting at another computer doing artwork for the past few days, and not getting those 5 in a row hits that I know I would have had if I had been playing.
I called it magic card, but meant magic screen. Basically like Tahiti. Played these a lot in my uncles gas station. I had a bingo, but no one in my family would play it . Sold it. Still miss having it.
