Machines are objects that Isaac can interact with to gain a variety of rewards.

Slot Machine

Slot Machine.png

Walking up to the Slot Machine and bumping into it will consume one penny and spin the slots. The Machine then has a chance to spawn one of its possible rewards. Slot Machines appear naturally in ArcadeArcades, Secret RoomSecret Rooms, and other room layouts, and can be summoned using the X - Wheel of FortuneX - Wheel of Fortune tarot card.

If the Slot Machine is caught in an explosion of any kind, it will be destroyed, yielding various rewards (see below). The Slot Machine also has a 2% chance to self-destruct after inserting a penny, in which case it drops several random pickups, Collectible A Dollar icon.pngA Dollar, or (in Repentance+) Collectible Portable Slot icon.pngPortable Slot and becomes unusable.

The Collectible D4 icon.pngD4 is unlocked when 30 Slot Machines are destroyed (via explosion or overloading) by Isaac.

(except in Repentance and Repentance+) When blown up in the Dark RoomDark Room or ChestChest, it will drop a collectible from the Treasure Room item pool, much like Chest.pngChests and Locked Chest.pngLocked Chests.

Collectible Lucky Foot icon.pngLucky Foot raises the odds by a multiplier of 1.4x. On hard mode, the chances of winning at the Slot Machine are halved.

Possible Rewards when Destroyed

When Isaac destroys a Slot Machine, there is a:

  • 10% chance to drop a random pill
  • 10% chance to drop a random trinket
  • 1% chance to drop a Chest.pngChest
  • 1% chance to drop a Locked Chest.pngLocked Chest
  • 78% chance to drop 2-3 random pickup groupings; for each grouping, there is a
    • 35% chance to drop 1-3 random Penny.pngCoins
    • 20% chance to drop a random heart
      • If Daemon's TailDaemon's Tail is held, there is an 80% chance to prevent this grouping from being chosen; if prevented, another pickup grouping will be chosen instead.
      • If chosen, there is a 50% chance that this counts as 2 pickup groupings.
    • 15% chance to drop a random Key.pngKey
    • 30% chance to drop a random Bomb.pngBomb

There is a 33% chance of an extra pickup grouping spawning if Isaac is holding Lucky ToeLucky Toe.

Furthermore, if the 78% chance to drop the pickup groupings is selected, there is a 33% chance for the following conditions to occur:

Note that only 1 additional item can spawn from this 33% chance. In the case of having multiple matching trinkets, the conditions are checked in order.

For debugging purposes, an init seed that spawns a slot machine that pays out a Dollar on the first attempt is 1236239571.

Fortune Telling Machine

Fortune Telling Machine.png

The Fortune Telling Machine is similar to the Slot Machine. Bumping into the Machine costs one penny, which will either display a random fortune or special seed on-screen, or cause the Machine to spawn one of its possible drops. Fortune Telling Machines appear naturally in ArcadeArcades, Secret RoomSecret Rooms, Super Secret RoomSuper Secret Rooms, and other room layouts, and can be summoned using the X - Wheel of FortuneX - Wheel of Fortune tarot card. The Fortune Telling Machine also has a chance to self-destruct after inserting a penny, in which case it drops several random pickups or Collectible Crystal Ball icon.pngCrystal Ball. (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Like the Slot Machine, Fortune Telling Machines will also drop a random collectible item when destroyed in the Dark RoomDark Room or ChestChest.

Blood Donation Machine

Blood Donation Machine.png

Bumping into the Blood Donation Machine will damage Isaac. The machine will then pay out with 1-2 of any type of Penny.pngCoin (only 1 in Hard Mode) or, rarely, Child's HeartChild's Heart. Every donation has a 5% chance of causing the Blood Donation Machine to explode, giving either a Collectible Blood Bag icon.pngBlood Bag or an Collectible IV Bag icon.pngIV Bag. Alternatively, it can be destroyed with a Bomb.pngBomb, which will cause it to drop several coin or heart pickups.

Notes

  • On the floors before WombWomb, the machine will take a half-heart of health from each use. From The Womb and onward, the Blood Donation Machine will take one full heart instead.
  • It is possible to be killed by the Blood Donation Machine.
  • Once a Blood Donation Machine has given Collectible IV Bag icon.pngIV Bag, future Blood Donation Machines will never pay out with it again for the rest of the run unless Blood Bag has not been unlocked yet.
  • It is possible for any number of Collectible Blood Bag icon.pngBlood Bags to appear in the same run.
  • Collectible Holy Mantle icon.pngHoly Mantle does not prevent damage from a Blood Donation Machine.
  • Invulnerability and shields can be used to prevent damage from it.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The Machine will accept Eternal Heart.pngEternal Hearts first, then Red Heart.pngRed Hearts. When Isaac's health is at half a heart (or a full heart in WombWomb and beyond), the machine will drain Soul Heart.pngSoul Hearts and Black Heart.pngBlack Hearts instead.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) While the Machine takes red hearts before Soul Hearts or Black Hearts, using a Blood Donation Machine will trigger Collectible Scapular icon.pngScapular once Isaac is at half a heart. Leaving the room afterward and then reentering resets Scapular, allowing for further donations using Soul Hearts. Repeating this process after every Scapular activation allows Isaac to collect coins from the Blood Donation Machine until it breaks.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) With Collectible Isaac's Heart icon.pngIsaac's Heart, the Machine can be used without taking any damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Invincibility frames can be used to activate a blood donation machine for free.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Blood Donation Machines will drain Isaac's last half red heart before draining Soul Hearts.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Blood Donation Machines will ignore Eternal Hearts while Isaac has any other hearts.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Blood Donation Machines may fail to pay out when used as Character Keeper icon.pngKeeper or Character Tainted Keeper icon.pngTainted Keeper, preventing abuse.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) If Isaac has Red and Rotten Heart.pngRotten Hearts, the Machine will take Red Hearts before taking Rotten Hearts.

(except in Rebirth) Restock Machine

Shop Restock Machine.png

The Restock Machine is an object added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth appearing commonly in ShopShops in Greed Mode, and rarely in ArcadeArcades, Black MarketBlack Markets, Crawl SpaceCrawl Spaces, I AM ERRORI AM ERROR rooms, Secret RoomSecret Rooms, and Treasure RoomTreasure Rooms outside of Greed Mode. Restock Machines also have a chance to spawn in ShopShops outside of Greed Mode, replacing the Donation Machine.

In ShopShops and Black MarketBlack Markets, each activation will cause the following effects:

  • Rerolls every item and pickup for sale.
  • Refills all empty Shop slots.
  • Item pedestals in the room that are not for sale will not be rerolled.

The chance for the Shop to be restocked increases as more coins are inserted.

In all other rooms, the Restock Machine will reroll any items present after donating enough pennies or blowing it up. It will not generate new items to replace the taken ones. It will reroll all items in the room even if they were not originally present (e.g. items from Beggar.pngBeggars).

Restock Machines can break after the fourth guaranteed reroll with a 50% chance for every subsequent reroll that should've been successful. This will cause them to drop a small number of coins.

(in Repentance and Repentance+) Bombing a Restock Machine breaks it immediately. When a Restock Machine explodes, either through bombing or extended use, it has a chance to rapidly reroll all items a few times. With timing, any item seen briefly during the rapid reroll process can be picked up, similar to acquiring items from Collectible Glitched Crown icon.pngGlitched Crown. Saving and quitting in the middle of the reroll process will cause the items to stop rerolling upon re-entering the game.

(in Repentance and Repentance+) Restocking the shop in the Mirrored world will make items appear in the mirrored shop. The normal shop will not be rerolled, and subsequent rerolls will not match those of the mirrored shop.

(except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Mom's Dressing Table

Mom's Dressing Table.png

Mom's Dressing Table is an object added in Booster Pack #2 of The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †. (except in Repentance and Repentance+) If Isaac has more than 8 items, it has a 50% chance of appearing in the starting room of a floor. (in Repentance and Repentance+) Mom's Dressing Tables have a high chance to spawn in Clean BedroomClean Bedrooms and Dirty BedroomDirty Bedrooms.

If Isaac bumps into Mom's Dressing Table, his appearance will be randomly changed such that only a few of his items are displayed.

Hitting Mom's Dressing Table with an explosive will cause it to break and drop 1-4 pills. There is a 1% chance to spawn one of the following items instead: Collectible Mom's Underwear icon.pngMom's Underwear, Collectible Mom's Heels icon.pngMom's Heels, Collectible Mom's Lipstick icon.pngMom's Lipstick, Collectible Mom's Bra icon.pngMom's Bra, Collectible Mom's Pad icon.pngMom's Pad, Collectible Mom's Eyeshadow icon.pngMom's Eyeshadow, Collectible Mom's Contacts icon.pngMom's Contacts, Collectible Mom's Wig icon.pngMom's Wig, Collectible Mom's Perfume icon.pngMom's Perfume or Collectible Mom's Pearls icon.pngMom's Pearls. Items that have already been generated and/or collected can be spawned again in this manner.

Mom's Dressing Table is based on this Steam Workshop mod by Sinsthar.

(in Repentance and Repentance+) Crane Game Needs to be unlocked

Crane Game.png

The Crane Game is an object added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance. After unlocking it, the Crane Game can appear in ArcadeArcades and rarely in normal rooms. It can also appear in the Greed Mode Shop, replacing the Restock Machine. The Machine contains one visible item; after the Machine pays out, another one will be displayed. A grapple is above the items. The Machine pays out prizes from the Crane Game item pool.

Bumping into the Machine consumes 5 cents and activates the grapple, which will attempt to grab the item in the center. If it succeeds, the item will be taken out of the Machine and appear on a pedestal.

There is a 25% chance for the Machine to pay out, so the probability of the machine paying out after at most N tries is 1(3/4)N. The Machine explodes after giving 3 prizes.

Alternatively, it can be destroyed with a Bomb.pngBomb, which will cause it to drop several pickups.

  • if the machine is destroyed during its payout animation, it will still give the item.

The Crane Game won't change the reward item once it has been displayed, even if it was picked up elsewhere in the level. The same item can even be paid out twice in a row: the next item is determined before the first one is fully spawned, and at that point the reward is locked.

Once all items in the Crane Game item pool have been picked up, the Crane Game will only dispense Collectible Buddy in a Box icon.pngBuddy in a Box.

Leaving the room while the animation is still playing after winning will cause the reward to not spawn.

Unlocked by: Crane Game Defeat Mega Satan as Character Tainted Samson icon.pngTainted Samson. Will be replaced with a Slot Machine.pngSlot Machine if not unlocked.

(in Repentance and Repentance+) Confessional Needs to be unlocked

Confessional.png

The Confessional is an object added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance. It damages Isaac with the same rules as the Blood Donation Machine in exchange for various rewards. It can be found in Super Secret RoomSuper Secret Rooms or Angel RoomAngel Rooms, but can rarely be found in normal rooms.

The Confessional has a 30% chance on Normal Mode and 25% chance on Hard Mode to pay out. This is increased by 1.5× if Isaac has Collectible Lucky Foot icon.pngLucky Foot.

The following are the rewards and are evaluated in the order they are listed.

  • 5% chance to explode.
  • 3.3% chance to explode giving an Angel Room item.
  • Removes a Broken Heart, if Isaac has one.
  • 46.875% chance to receive a Soul Heart.pngSoul Heart. Reduced to 9.375% if Isaac has Daemon's TailDaemon's Tail.
  • 3.125% chance to receive an Eternal Heart.pngEternal Heart. Reduced to 0.125% if Isaac has Daemon's TailDaemon's Tail.
  • "You Feel Blessed!": Removes an active curse. For the current floor, increases Angel RoomAngel Room chance by 10% and allows Isaac to find an Angel Room even if he already made a Deal with the Devil. This effect stacks additively, going up to a 100% Angel Room chance at 10 activations.
    • If Isaac hasn't seen any Devil RoomDevil Rooms or Angel RoomAngel Rooms before and the fortune is activated once, the deal on that floor is guaranteed to be an Angel Room.

Alternatively, it can be destroyed with a Bomb.pngBomb, which will cause it to drop pickups as well as a chance to drop trinkets. Despite its appearance, destroying a Confessional does not affect Angel RoomAngel Room or Devil RoomDevil Room chance.

Unlocked by: Confessional Defeat Mega Satan as Character Tainted Bethany icon.pngTainted Bethany. Will be replaced with a Soul Heart.pngSoul Heart if not unlocked.

(in Repentance+) Revive Machine

Revive Machine.png

The Revive Machine is an object added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+, it is used in co-op to revive players. It will always spawn in the starting room of each floor just left of the top doorway in normal and hard mode. In greed and greedier mode it will spawn somewhere in the ShopShop of every floor.

Bumping into the machine costs 1 cent and lowers the number displayed on the machine by 1. Once the counter hits 0, a single player is revived at 1 and 1/2 filled hearts (1 coin heart for Character Keeper icon.pngKeeper and Character Tainted Keeper icon.pngTainted Keeper). If multiple players are dead, then the player who filled the machine chooses who is revived. The machine starts at a counter of 10 and increases in cost by 2 every time its requirement is reached.

Destroying the Revive machine will prevent it from being used for the current floor, but it will be spawn again on following floors. Destroying the machine has the odds to spawn the following:

Filling the machine while there are no dead players will do nothing, but still increase the cost of the subsequent counter.
