C programming a slot machine project

Not many answers, huh? Your post sounds too much like 'somebody please design my project for me'. Is it possible to compare the 3 wheels (stepper motors) using only software or do I need to have proximity switches to check the 3 wheels for jackpot/payout? I am thinking of using a unidirectional stepper motor for the coin payout mechanism, is this a good idea or do someone have a better solution for the coin payout solutions? Since I am quite new to electronics I need some pointers on how and if it is possible to make a slot machine with the list of components I have specified, do I need some transistors, diode or resistors as well for the interfacing of the stepper motors etc.? Some hookup wire and some breadboard for prototyping.1 x On/Off switch for digital input for coin input.1 x On/Off switch for powering the slot machine On/Off.

3 x Bi directional stepper motor 12V, 0,33A for the slot machine wheels.What I wish to do is make a japanese slot machine with skill stop function.

I am a newbie to Arduino and electronics, but I have some knowledge of visual basic and c programming.
