the lighting needs work here. without the aid of real lighting (welcome to Vegas!) this is tough to get even. perhaps metering it on the unlit part would have helped. You're going to get reflections no matter what in this situation, so you might as well over-do it and add some detail in the shadows. did you win anything?
Nice closeup but, you should always zoom out a tiny bit and then DO crop when needed. :) That could help here by giving you the full word "coins" on the right and show the wording on the left as well. As it is, those mistakes are distracting to me.
I like this shot, I can feel the anticipation! Would have been a great submission for "unanswered questions".
I think the "(Uncropped)" detracts from an otherwise good title
Composition: I would have been very tempted to crop! Remove the two white lines above the 400 and Play 3 white bars. Something I find hard myself is being central to the shot - hence the spinning wheels aren't parallel to the frame.
Technical: Pretty good focus and contrast.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I think fixing the above would improve the shot dramatically. Good effort though.

would be excellent, if we didn't just see a slot machine in the speed challenge..
Great shot though, I'll try to pretend the other one didn't exist. nice timing with the last wheel still spinning. 7
