This example simulates a "fruit machine", similar to a slot machine, using emoji from the Adafruit Discord server. It's designed for the FeatherWing M4 Express, but you can adapt it to other boards by changing the lines that create the RGBMatrix object. The code is also designed for the 64x32 LED displays.
You'll also need the emoji.bmp file on your CIRCUITPY drive.
