Most of my focus in the casino business has been developing actual game assets from time to time I had the opportunity to come up with visual concepts for actual physical props, signage, and cabinets. These presented a fun alternative to the character art which I'm happy to share here.
Part of a series of designs to explore various top-box addons to generate additional entertainment and progressive win opportunities. This being influenced by a carnival theme and would have been attached to multiple machines at once.
Another big-box game topper decorative bonus feature. I'd definitely stop and watch this in play more than the games below it!

This is a fantasy "wouldn't it be neat...?" idea I had which takes all kinds of physical car interface elements and iconography and combines them into a single slot machine cabinet presentation. Obviously this is just a simple concept exploration but it gave me a fun opportunity to explore some new ideas outside of the purely surface decoration that I typically am involved with.

The principals of character design work just as well for inanimate objects as it does for living souls; the idea is to impart a stylistic personality to the object and hopefully convey certain attributes that will lead the audience to react in a specific positive way upon seeing it. These sketches were an opportunity to do a bunch of quick design explorations of how a game cabinet could look without any considerations for cost, just a pure elaboration of the basic necessities of being able to interact with the machine and to properly view the results while also have a tall enough visual presence to stand out and attract attention from across the casino floor.
