Lottery Machines
Either the machines used to purchase lottery tickets directly (kiosk-style), or the machines used by a cashier to process one's lottery ticket. Over time, they have evolved from an x86 base and a Windows or DOS operating system, to x86 and ARM CPUs with either Windows or Linux-based operating systems.
Illinois Lottery
Operating Systems (x86?)
Linux
Quite like the Wisconsin (?) lottery machine, the Illinois lottery also uses Linux. Close economic linkage between the two, maybe? Or maybe, that's just the standard for American state lotteries?
Intralot/Microlot Systems
Operating Systems (x86?)
Gentoo
I sure have been trying, but my keyboards won't connect to it.
Runs an old version. Who knows where this guy found this thing.
Montana Lottery
Operating Systems (x86?)
DOS (+Doom)
It was basically an old DOS box inside, so it wasn’t much of a stretch software-wise
Good luck finding one of these. It is easy to make these run some other program though, apparently. One can simply insert a disk and set it to auto-run, and it will run it.
Emulation Nest
This device runs an operating system which is known to emulate various devices with EOPs. See the DOS page.
Wisconsin(?) Lottery
Operating Systems (Intel x86)
Linux
The OS that runs by default on these systems. EOP possibilities are simultaneously endless and unknown.
