Maybe I missed it somewhere in between the two threads about the new Kingpin, but have the Circus Maximus guys figured out the slot machine opto mechanics and coding? I know that was a sticking point for vegemite_nick who was building his Kingpin from scratch...

Thanks for the input Compy and @pkiefert. I can say from playing an original many times over the years that I'm not sure that the slot machine opto stuff was ever fully nailed down from the get go. On the one I've played, when it's the girl asking you to "Shoot for the Cherries, Kid" and you get back to the hotel saucer, there are times when the reels spin a few full rotations before it finally stops and the game reacts, with DMD animations and everything. There were even times where the reels would stop on a different symbol than what the DMD animation and callouts would display.
