Inspiration We express our personalities to the world through the clothes and accessories we wear. Different people have different looks and styles. We all "gamble" our personas as we experiment with our appearances to produce a unique vibe that correctly describes ourselves.
Realization A human shaped slot machine represents the idea of "gambling personas." A slot machine game can be played to win different accessories to place on the human puppet that symbolizes the user. The user must gamble to win the accessories that describe him or her. What is your persona and are you willing to gamble for it?

	The software for the system was created in NYLON. Different states are created from the combination of buttons. A random number generator is used to keep the game fresh.
	The hardware for the system consists of a 8 LED's and and a Hotpants display. The NYLON system is used to drive the display and process the inputs to the system. The exterior is created using cardboard and felt to attach different felt accessories.
	Putting the hardware and software together creates the overall system. A unique slot machine in the shape of a human being becons users to "Gamble their personas." One can win different accessories to put on the humanoid to give it character. Different people have different appeals and personalities, therefore, the look of the humanoid depends on the person playing the game.
