Learn how to cut a money slot in a lid so you can turn any jar into a money savings jar! Online lottery jackpot winners.
I recently did a post on how I made this DIY Money Jar (find it HERE). The only part I didn’t cover was how I cut the hole in the jar lid. I wanted to be able to go over it in detail, so if you’re looking to learn, keep reading!
HOW TO CUT A MONEY SLOT IN A LID
I will admit that this was a little out of my wheelhouse. I talked it over with my husband and asked to borrow a few tools. After promises that I would maintain all of my fingers, he obliged. It turned out to be much easier than I anticipated, so I thought I would share it here in case anyone else if feeling a little overwhelmed by this prospect. You can do it!!!
Volatile real money slots can take 180 up to 350 spins to trigger a bonus. Whereas less volatile slots have a pulls-to-hit rate of 40 to 60 spins. The RTP of the slot for money is an indication of its volatility. If the game has an RTP that’s below 94% it’s a high variance slot. Hope this answers your question.
Real money slots are for players that want a more intense or electrifying experience. They’ll also require more time investment in creating an account, making a deposit, and potentially downloading software. Real money slots also feature much more significant bonuses for deposits and play.
Buffalo slots is a low volatility, penny slot. The bigger part of players are low / medium rollers, and this machine gives them the chance to bet between $0.1 and $100. The machine features free spins for its bonus. This is the most wanted additional game in the slot world and is not hardly triggered.
Slots are the most popular casino games in the US – in fact, nearly half of all gambling in US casinos is done on slot machines. As a result, land-based casinos are increasingly offering real money slots games online to gamblers. Even if you have played slot games before, playing slots online is a different experience.
Boasting a 3x3 reel formation with 5 adjustable paylines, the Money Roll video slot is perfect for those of you who seek classic slots action that won’t break the bank.
Step 1 – Mark your slot
Mark your lid where you want to make your money slot. If your jar is square, make sure you screw the lid on before you mark it. That way the slot will be going in the correct direction.
Step 2 – Drill some holes
I wanted to make sure either end of my money slot had a nice round edge. I’m doubtful I would have been able to do it nicely with the dremel. I used a drill bit to make holes on either end to accomplish this. It worked nicely.
Step 3 – Cut the money slot with a dremel
I used a dremel to slowly cut the slot for the money. Don’t forget eye and hand protection! It took a little bit of time, but not much effort. There were sparks, which was fun for a girl who doesn’t often get to use power tools!
Step 4 – Smooth the rough edges
After cutting the slot with the dremel, the edges will probably be pretty rough. I didn’t want anything that could cut a finger. I would and should have used a metal file. BUT we didn’t have one on hand. So I grabbed this old nail file and it worked just fine. Use what you’ve got, right?

Step 5 – Pound it flat
If you look closely at the previous images, you’ll see a couple things. First, the edge is a little warped/wavy after cutting it with the dremel. Second, in the picture with the nail file, you can see that there are indentations around my money slot. This is where you will learn from my mistakes. I turned the lid upside down and used a hammer to pound the wavy edges flat. However, I forgot to use something between the lid and hammer to protect from hammer marks. I know this through and through when working with wood, but the knowledge escaped me in this project. Use several layers of folded paper or cloth to prevent the edges of the hammer from leaving telltale marks in your lid. Just make sure it isn’t so thick that it absorbs all the impact and prevents you from flattening the ripples out.
You’re done! Now you know how to cut a money slot in a lid. Happy creating everyone! If you want to check out exactly how I made this adventure fund jar, (which could be customized for any purpose such as a wedding, honeymoon, large purchase, whatever) click HERE!
