Challenge: Update Coin-Operated Game System to Swipe Card

Former Member over 11 years ago

This challenge is based on a past episode on Apr. 1, 2012 named: "A Coin-Operated Gaming System: Game Timer! - YouTube"....

I challenge you to update it by removing the coin-operation and replace it with a swipe card for use with digital currency.

Many arcades already accept CC so the hardware exists.

You would need to take the CC reader and put it in place of the coin-op slot.

For a hobbyist purpose, an RFID card and read might be a more practical solution (avoids the whole logging into Visa thing!)

where can I find one of these Coin-operated systems to buy? I need it to monitor game play for my young man so that he has more productive hours
