Well, I don't have quite the house as many on here, but the wife was all for turning our front room / formal living room into a game room and bar when we bought our house. Way better than a stuffy room that is only used once a year at Christmas. We entertain a lot so this room tends to be very popular. Our family room is off the kitchen and that is where we watch television anyway, so this room was perfect.

When the oldest moves out and gets a place big enough, that baby grand is going with her and that will be room for at least 2 more pins!! lol

And cut me some slack on the Zima sign... My wife loves that stuff and loves that sign.

Thanks, there are now 4 in that line and I moved the IGT to another wall. I added Winning Streak where the IGT sits in that picture. I have 2 more 40X slots in the garage that I have no idea where they are going to go. 1 is almost done and 1 is in parts, but will be done in due time. Its a sickness.. lol

They are not something I play a lot of. I get more enjoyment collecting the game kits and building the machines. But my in laws live with us for health reasons and my father in law is a slot junkie and plays them all day long. So it's more for him and friends at parties. We also sometimes do a slot tournament (on the IGT) at parties where I put in 200 credits and the guest gets 1 minute to play. I cash out their ticket after 1 minute and after the tournament, top 3 tickets win prizes. Guests actually love it. As for playing, I have about $500 in quarters between the 40x machines. We just keep the credits built up and everyone plays for free. I dont want my friends money, and I cant afford to pay them if they hit a jackpot... lol

Thanks.. Changing it up though. Flash is on its way to a new home this weekend and Scared Stiff is on its way from Virginia. So going to be heavy on the 90's pins. Once that piano is gone though, the collection will go to 5 (or 6 if I can squeeze 6 in). But that will be a while as I'm sure her first place will be an apartment with no room for a baby grand...

Yes, the wife and I both do. But we also were married on August 5th

There is one in Texas right now for $300. Check the classifieds on New Life Games!

Whoops, jeep-mustang beat me to it and included a link to boot! If I was closer, I would have already have grabbed that slot, especially since it is a roundtop!

Thanks! Yeah, love Godard... there are a bunch of his older pieces I would love to have but they all hold some value and arent cheap... someday I will add a couple more. Love the one you posted as well!

Not much of an update to my game room, but Scared Stiff took the place of Flash and did get custom rugs made for under SS and JD. Already had the WOZ rug from eBay.

Not cheap, but good quality and this company doesnt reject your art for copyright reasons, they put it all on you with a waiver...

Love a lot of what you have going on there, but the Wacky Packages collection takes it!! Haven't seen those in YEARS!!

Ah, a Space Duel! I put many a quarter in that game back in the 80's. I actually bought one a while back (along with Frontline) but sold both of my stand ups to make some room for more pins.

Awesome! As a huge "home haunter" at halloween, I have a lot of the pieces you have as well, but that screaming nun is AWESOME!!! I haven't seen that one before. Im assuming it is pneumatic? Where did you get that piece?

Every square inch of my house gets haunted for Halloween every year, but there is no way the wife would let me keep it up all year... lol. I have a packed 10x12 shed in the back just for halloween storage.

For slot machines, its all about the fun interactive bonus games and the sound of coins hitting trays for nostalgia. My personal favorites are the mid 90's Williams 40x series. I have 7 machines (5 and home and 2 at vacation house) but I have 21 different kits so I can swap them out and keep them fresh.

Yeah, highly sought after. I hope someday to have a HS pin and have them side by side, but unlikely due to limited pin space and already over capacity. Cant see getting rid of any of my pins for a HS.

As it is, the last 2 pins were bought without the wife knowing until well after and R&M was bought without anywhere to put it. Thinking SS will go in the garage when R&M shows up. Point being if I ever try and get another, then I will have LOTS of room, cause the wife will be gone... Lol. Would rather keep her!

Wait, you have both the wife and girlfriend living with you?? How did you pull that off not living in Utah?!?!

I would get one of those, but apparently our bar is always open...

My thoughts were the same.. Currently in year 30 with 4 1/2 to go. Doing the long haul.

But East Chicago is in Indiana... So he should get a pass

Not to be a killjoy here, but can we get more pictures of game rooms and take the contracting conversations to a "how to build a game room" thread? lol

My buddy has one. He and his son love it.

Loving the WMS 40x slots. I have never seen Winning Streak in a 9 inch top before. Pretty cool!
