Alcoholic Gambling Machines

The BarBot Slot Machine Pays You in Drinks

If you are an avid drinker, you just might love the idea of the BarBot slot machine, which rewards you with alcohol instead of money. The computer inside the machine has a pre-programed bartender to create your winning drink of choice.

The 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' themed BarBot slot machine was created by NYC Resistor as part of a hacking competition. The team of hackers had a budget of $3,000 and a three-week time period to convert a manufactured object into something with a different purpose.
