Is it possible to fabricate topper insert from belly glass ?
« on: August 29, 2018, 09:59:15 AM »

I have an idea and wondered if anyone has tried it.


I've been thinking about putting a polygon topper on one of my S2000 machines but I can't find the plexi insert I want. Would it be possible to take the belly glass of the game "Five Times Pay" and cut it to a polygon shape to fit the topper ? There seems to be plenty of glass available. I don't have a topper or insert to measure so I'm unsure of the dimensions.


The other alternative would be a proper oval topper for this game but I have never been able to find a Five Times Pay insert.

You can cut it with a wet saw but how you retain it in the topper may be an issue
If it ain't broke don't mess with it.....

Is the glass used on slot machines ordinary plate glass (not tempered glass)?

ok, thanks!

A local glass shop should be able to cut the belly glass in the way that the OP wants.

I would just have a printing shop make sign out of the logo and attach it to a piece of plexi cut to the right size, or even have the sign shop make one.  It's easy enough to scan and make a high res version of the glass.  Like idesign says, how you end up holding it in the topper could be an issue.

I took my existing insert into a sign shop so they could use it as a template.
I have a logo that I used for my Poker Chips and you can see it as my avatar.
I believe they cut the plexy first, then printed on mylar and adhered it to the plexy.
I am using Aristocrat toppers on my S+ machines and they have about 28 holes around the outside for the LED bulbs.
I had 3 done (all the same) the price worked out to be about $150. In reality the artwork setup was $88, and about $20 for the sheet of plexi that they used and the rest was printing at about $14/ea
If I was to do about 30 of these my cost would be manageable as you could get about 4 perhaps 5 cutouts from each sheet of plexi.

I would not be cutting Belly Glass - as someone pointed out it is likely tempered and then trying to drill out the 28 holes or equivalent would be a nightmare without cracking it.

I had considered mounting a old laptop screen to the back of a clear plexy and then masking it to an oval shape. The intent was that I could then put up any logo I wanted. The plan was to use teamviewer so I had remote access to the laptop and just seal the whole thing in the topper. Where I ran into a bit of a challenge is that the bios on my old laptop would not auto-power on (when power was applied) and required me to push a button. This became awkward and I didn't want to start pulling the laptop apart to mount an external button.

You could easily do that now with a media player that connects to wifi to control it's content and just use cheap vga lcd monitor.  Fitting it inside a topper could be interesting though.

It would be easy to do with a LCD picture frame and CF or USB stick as well.
I was trying to do it with the parts I had vs spending any $$.

The biggest challenge is getting the screen to come back to the image you want it to after a hard power off.

I have a HDMI backup camera display. 7" large would work perfect but after power off it comes back to standby and you need to hit a button. I have some old Ipad2's but they don't go on/off with the power, and after the battery runs dead and come back - they go their home screen vs a particular app.

My idea was to encase whatever electronics in the topper and not have to fool with them at all unless I wanted to change images.
