Thanks Guys It took far too long for a frivolous thing
It can run faster than the video, and looks much better, but then also difficult to see each frame.

The worst part of it is the whole character map has to be stored in the pic.. unless it can be read from
the display itself which I have never tried, and am not using the signal line to read back from the LCD.

It’s not in BASIC, but the transition easily could be. Just a bunch of while and for loops and if statements.
Something I learned, at least with the module I’m using, it takes three times longer to use the 0x02
command to return to the first line than addressing the memory space for it with he 0x80 command instead.
I would not ever use 0x02 to send the cursor to the first line again.
If the delays are too fast that is the first command to choke the display module.
I am not using any clear screen command to have tried that.

A poker machine Robert, I think could be done, but you don’t get multiple pay lines like modern slots.
