Might be picking up a $500 Williams Riverboat Gambler from a co-workers father in law's heated garage.

No idea of condition, but it sounds like it hasnt been played much. I like the toys (roulette wheel, betting buttons, etc), and I am lacking in the gambling themed pins. May pick it up, shop it, play it for a while, and flip it. Or, it may stick around for a bit.

Any owners able to chime in?

I've got one, IMHO there are better games, yet if it's in good shape you could double your money, and if its a bit knocked it's a fun game to play and a nice addition to any collection, so, buy it!

You should not even be asking. You should be on the way to pick it up for $500.

Buy and play then resell for $900

It's a fun game, Not deep, but a solid, fun System 11 machine. The music can get old (at least to me).

Wade Pemberton design that I like alot. The ramps are made of unobtainium, so make sure they are nice.

Riverboat Gambler got the most plays of the 5 machines we had at the Allentown show last year.

For $500, I would get it unless the ramps were destroyed.
