Use the demo digicash; it's not real money, and it's never been
illegal to play for poker chips. The mere fact that there's an exchange
market for real money vs. digicash play money doesn't change that.
It'd be nice if you take small bets, since many of us only have $100
or so of play money; quarters should be fine.
To do the job right, you need audio....

You can play as low as $0.5 on my pseudo slot machine, cyberbucks only
(legal issues). Nice graphics and *feedback* (unlike most shop
software) but sorry, no sound yet :-)

ps: 1 you can win upto $70
2 sorry if it sound like an ad, but the Q was to be answered...
