Hey everyone! I’m trying to make a fun little casino game in my survival world. I want to build a slot machine using armor stands. Has anyone done this before? I’m looking for ideas on how to make it work without any commands or creative mode stuff. Maybe using redstone and some clever mechanics? It’d be awesome if it could spin and show different items or blocks. Any tips or suggestions would be super helpful! I’m not great with complicated redstone, so simpler ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey Nova_17Paint! That casino idea sounds super cool! I actually tried something similar in my world a while back. Here’s what worked for me:
I used a bunch of dispensers stacked on top of each other, each filled with different items. Then I connected them to a randomizer circuit (just a bunch of repeaters in a loop). When you pull the lever, it triggers the randomizer, which then fires off one of the dispensers randomly.
For the spinning part, I put the armor stands on minecarts and ran them through a little loop. It’s not perfect, but it gives that slot machine vibe!
The trickiest part was getting the timing right so the items land on the armor stands just as they finish ‘spinning’. Took a bit of fiddling, but man, it was so satisfying when it finally worked!
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes! And hey, if you figure out any cool improvements, share 'em with the rest of us, yeah? Good luck with your casino!
yo, i made somethin similar once. try usin droppers to randomize items on armor stands. u can hook em up to a lever n use pistons to spin the stands. it’s not perfect but works ok for survival. good luck with ur casino, sounds fun!
i’ve experimeted with a simlar concept in my survival world. one approach that worked well was using hoppers and droppers to cyle through items on the armor stands. you could set up a series of hoppers feeding into droppers, each containing differrent items. when activated, the droppers would randomly distribute items onto the armor stands.
for the spinning mechanism, consider using sticky pistons with slime blocks. this can create a rotating effect for the armor stands. to add an element of chance, you might incorporate a comparator reading the contents of a dropper or hopper.
keep in mind, this setup requires a fair amount of resources and space. it may take some trial and error to get it working smoothly, but the end result can be quite satisfying. good luck with your project!
