Key Takeaways
- A clear spec sheet cuts OEM quoting from weeks of email back-and-forth to a single structured request.
- Cabinet form, screen size, board platform and certification target are the four cost-driving decisions.
- Copy the generated spec block straight into the instant-quote form for a per-market scoped offer.
Illustrative estimates based on operator-provided inputs. Actual results depend on market conditions, player behavior, and regulatory requirements. Licensing and compliance in your market are your responsibility — confirm your local rules.
Why Spec First, Quote Second
Most OEM gaming inquiries stall in the same place: "how much for a slot machine?" has no answer without form factor, screen, board platform, quantity and certification target. This builder walks a licensed operator or distributor through those decisions in two minutes and outputs a copy-ready spec block — the same structure our engineering team uses to open a build file.
Nothing you enter leaves your browser until you paste the spec into the quote form yourself.
The Four Cost Drivers
- Cabinet form — upright, slant top, deli/bartop or multiplayer table. Metalwork and freight are the biggest per-unit swing.
- Screen package — from a single 27" up to dual 43" + topper; panels and touch layers price very differently.
- Board & platform — our standard game board with your configuration, or a custom board program with dedicated firmware (see the software stack).
- Certification target — the market you deploy in sets the test lab scope; this is confirmed per market and per order.
Quantity then multiplies everything: tooling amortizes across the run, so a 200-unit order prices structurally differently from a 20-unit pilot.
From Spec to Shipped Machine
A typical OEM flow after the spec lands: engineering review and BOM lock (1–2 weeks), pre-production sample, your sign-off, certification submission for the target market, then mass production and container loading (talk logistics with us). The cleaner the initial spec, the fewer sample iterations — which is usually where custom projects lose their schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OEM and ODM here?
OEM means we manufacture to your finished design — your artwork, your game, your harness spec. ODM means you pick from our existing cabinet and platform designs and rebrand them. Most projects land in between: a stock cabinet with custom art, game selection and firmware configuration.
Does the builder give me a price?
No — it produces a structured spec sheet. Gaming hardware pricing depends on order volume, certification target and current component costs, so quoting is done per request. The spec block you generate feeds directly into the quote so our engineers can respond with real numbers fast.
Which certifications can the build target?
CE for general electrical safety plus gaming-lab certification (GLI, BMM or your market's local lab) scoped per market and per order. Tell us the deployment jurisdiction in the quote request and we scope the exact test plan — there is no single global certificate.
What is the typical minimum order for a custom build?
Fully custom cabinets carry tooling costs and higher MOQs; rebranded stock cabinets can start much lower. The spec sheet captures your target quantity so the quote reflects the right tier.
Can you build boards only, without cabinets?
Yes — game boards, harnesses and platform software ship independently for operators refurbishing existing cabinets. Select "Board kit only" in the builder.
