VHDL Slot Machine

Interesting , but I agree with Tricky, I think anything's possible but I would be inclined to start with an example that works on the DE-1 board in the HDL you are familiar with.

I have worked in Verilog and VHDL and for starting off ... Verilog may be easier to map to hardware ... I assume this is a design example as there are arguments for FPGA designs, Programmable controller based designs .. whatever design methodology, the Random Number Generator ( RNG ) is key and when electronics were first introduced to slot machines some governments forced vendors to still have mechanical moving parts ( wheels ) as a source of randomness. That I guess is just history now.
