There is a way to hold off on your commands for coming through. Take a look at the sun API for swing. As to your second question... you will have to create a new JFrame and only make it visible at certain times. This would allow you to customize the buttons on the frame... cheers

basicly when you click bye i want it to display a message box which has two buttons on one that adds coins to the current total the other to display a message box that says collect your winnings

Please post your code. We do not like to download attachements for 2 reasons
- first this site has been attack in the past by a virus in an attachment
- secondif we have a solution for you, there is a non pedagogic approach of having other DIC to download your problem to see the offered solution

BTW I make my living by programming slot machines in C++ so I really know what I am talking about (must be a lot easier in Java.. I wish we can do so but our target boards only have a few K of memory)

You do not have actionListener on your Hold button
