Anyone else collect slots / gambling machines? I’m up to 8 of them. So much fun.

I’ve found there’s a learning curve when working on them, like anything else. And each model comes with its own challenges. But knowing how to fix pins has definitely translated well into slots.

Show me your slots (keep it clean, ha ha).

Someday I’d love to have a mechanical slot, or an EM. Have to be fun to tinker on….

#6 1 year ago

I picked up my (2) Quick Hit machines for $250 each (with stands). Got them yesterday. One works perfectly, the other needs the door lock replaced. Granted it was a great deal, but pinflation doesn’t seem to have hit slots yet.

1937 Mills Bursting Cherry. I love this thing.

Can somebody explain the appeal of collecting these things? I can understand maybe like have 1 or 2 around for proper aesthetics or maybe getting one that has a theme you like, but past that what is the reasoning? I'm not knocking anyone's desire to enjoyment of collecting these things, I'm actually curious. I feel like the appeal is very limited on games of chance and I'd like to know more

It's probably confusing to a fair number on this site. I consider myself more of a coin-op collector than anything. I like the variation of different EM and mechanical machines. Vending, arcade, slot machines, trade stimulators are all interesting to me.

I kind of understand your point as far as gameplay goes. A lot of these mechanical slots don't have much variation. With that said there are different manufacturers and designs that are interesting and beautiful. The more modern slots have more variation in interaction and gameplay. Similar to a modern pin.

I only have the one slot machine but would buy more if the price is right. I will never play the pins in the morning. The slot is upstairs in my office. Almost every day before work I like to drop a nickel and pull the handle once. Just kind of a fun test to see how the day may go. Like George Bailey lighting the cigar lighter in It's a Wonderful Life. Hot dog!

I only have the one, as well. For me, it's a bit of nostalgia. Casinos were banned in my state when I was younger, so my friends and I would take big road trips to gamble. The first few trips, I had some decent hits on Triple Diamond machines, so it became my lucky slot and I would play it every trip. Decades later I was at a coin-op auction and there was a Triple Diamond with no other bidders, so I was able to get it for a song. I rarely gamble these days, so it's just for fun. Sometimes I play a few games just to see if it's my lucky day. My wife also plays it and so do our folks when they come visit, so it's good for some of the people who aren't as into the pins and arcade machines.

My fascination has multiple facets. First being the coin-op piece, but only my older machines use coins. The newer ones are ticket / cash based.

Second is the mechanical aspect. I know it's just spinning reels on the newer one. The newer ones do have fun bonuses though, good music and light shows.

Probably my biggest draw to them is the aspect of luck. I have a decent understanding of how their software works, and to me it's a bit like playing the lottery, albeit without any reward. It's the hunt of just pushing the button over, and over, and over and thinking through the terrible odds, and being amazed when something does hit.

Of course, playing them at home (set to max payout) really puts in perspective how bad your odds are in a casino. The machine has to "keep" a lot of money before paying out. Hence why I rarely play them in casinos. Blackjack is my game when I'm playing for real money.

It doesn't seem like there's much of a market for slots. I see some sit for a very long time on FB marketplace. For $250/each, I got a steal on mine (well, in my mind). Yet, nobody else seemed to be biting on them, or at least the seller didn't tell me he'd had more inquiries. If it were a pinball for $250, you'd better get in your car immediately with cash in hand....

The guy I bought mine from asked the same thing - why in the world would you want them in your house? =)

I saw one of these 1936 Mills Dice slot machines at the flea market Sunday. It was a beautiful machine with custom matching stand. The owner was gracious enough to show me how to play it and it was fascinating. A very complicated machine. I still am puzzled on how it recognizes what dice are rolled?

Priced at $8500 it was well out of my league. Doing a little research though appears to be a fair price.

I've got a trio of Williams dotmation machines... 2 short box and 1 tallboy. Also have a handful of kits to be able to change out that I've picked up over the years.

I also have a Williams dotmation slot (Mermaids Gold). Unfortunately, the case is beat on mine and my hopper knife is shot. Parts for them seem to be elusive, at best. Shame, it’s a neat machine. I put an ATX power supply in it. On my other Williams 550 slot (same as dotmation, minus the dmd), I did the ATX upgrade and also rebuilt the unregulated supply.

Some pics of the modified harness to work with the ATX supply and the rebuilt unregulated supply.

Mine all have ATX supplies in them as well...

My current configurations are Jackpot Beach Party and Money To Burn in the short boxes and the Stampede in the tall boy. Been meaning to swap out some kits but just haven't had the time yet. Maybe will find some time this fall. Of course, that time (what little there is) is usually best spent maintaining the pins...

Ebay used to be much better for parts but as you all know, Ebay got greedy and is now nothing like it used to be... Ended up getting the kits I have as well as a hopper to complete one machine all on Ebay.

I've got an early microprocessor controlled Bally 4-reel. A PITA to keep
running. Wish I had gotten an earlier EM version as I have a bunch
of parts for them.

#20 1 year ago

I have several slots and they round out the collection of coin op stuff. Pins, bowler, shuffle, juke, vid, vendors, parking meters.
I play the slots only to hit the jackpot, anything less is............ho hum.
No fun if its your money and you can open it and take money out anytime.

Here's a few of mine. A Keeney Bonus Super Bell console slot.

Bally Golden Gate is a Belgium export and has Dave Christensen art with his signature nipples and pubes and the 3-D tunnel feature that was also used on Bally's Time Zone and Space Time.

Next is a Super Bingo from Games of Nevada.

And last is a Bally European export Tunnel Target which also has the 3-D tunnel feature. Sadly, it is missing the bottom glass which had a mirrored infinity effect plus a revolving motor. Something I'm sure I will never find a replacement for. This game is five feet tall and weighs a ton.

It's so funny that you mentioned that. I was there (in Elkhorn WI) My Father in law purchased it. He has been a high end coin op collector for decades and he said he had never seen one before now.

It is a cool mech. Several pair of dice in individual compartments. One compartment is randomly selected when the handle is pulled. A nice dice rattling mech and then the pre determined dice are pushed out into view. They can't roll as the space between the bottom plate and the glass is barely larger than the height of the dies.

Ah that makes sense. Couldn't wrap my head around it but multiple dice makes it simple to understand. Thank you.

I've loved the Silicon Gaming Odyssey platform since it came out back in 1999. The first slot with a 16:9 display and rendered 3D graphics. I managed to score one for home a few years later and have now become the unofficial worldwide expert on them. I have a number of them and sell them on occasion. http://odyssey.robertwinter.com

Being the Elvira fan that I am, I have a working Elvira's Secret slot next to my pins.

Elvira Slot.jpgElvira Slot.jpg

I'm also fortunate enough to have an Elvira topper and bonus wheel from the first Elvira Mistress of the Dark slot. It's a static display I modified so the wheel slowly spins, the spider web over the wheel cycles colors, the torches flicker and the Elvira sculpt was custom painted. Sadly, a complete fully working EMOTD machine is impossible to find.

I also just picked up a Game King that I will probably convert to Munsters at some point.

Very cool machine. Most were sent back to the manufacturer and destroyed because they were very difficult to maintain and broke down frequently. So rare, and even rarer to find working.
Buckley came up with a better design, basically fixed dice on a reel, seemed like they were being shaken (reel spinning looks like they were being shaken), but the dice in each box on the reel were already known - using the same concept as a slot machine! Even these are expensive, but a lot less difficult to maintain. (Picture is not mine, i don’t own one but hope to some day)

I always wanted a Buckley bones but they go for big bucks. I think the last one I saw at auction sold for over $20,000.

I’ve got a few slot machines. The 5 cent Mills Horsehead BONUS is one of my favorites.

Jennings Little Duke 1cent machine. Very interesting clock dial reels/mechanism!
This was my first antique slot machine purchase almost 25 years ago. I really like the Penny/Depression era machines. Times were tough so regular folks would be more likely to play the penny machines rather than a nickel or quarter machine.

US Novelty Co. Chicago, Illinois (late 1800’s) Cast Iron 1cent dice popper/fortune telling machine. It’s not a gambling device!!!
It’s very heavy for its small size.

I bought it from a coin op collector about 25 years ago. He was downsizing his collection and sold me a few really nice pieces.

I acquired a 2000s Bally Alpha unit. I found there is not a lot on info out there on service/repair.
Apparently you can swap games but it's fairly technical and requires special SD cards. Too risky that I'd brick the game.
In Canada it's only legal to own if all the money in/out is removed.
I've been looking for a year for a topper housing to add to it.
Definitely a nice addition for varieties sake.

I have 2 Alphas and need to “clear” them. I’ve cleared my Williams and Konami machines, it’s not that bad. I snap pictures of the game config before clearing the machine. There’s an SD game card that has to be removed, replaced with a clear card, run the clear, then put in the old or new game card. Then you just have to set the game up again.

One of my Alphas reset randomly today and then threw a bunch of errors. It needs gone through, fans cleaned, and if I feel motivated, replace the caps on the power supply.

Cailles Centaurs are beautiful! Do you own that amazing machine? I love how the carpeted cat tree is pushed up against the side of it. Too funny! That’s got to be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Twins are uncommon but Triples are RARE as hens teeth.

I was friends with a slot machine/coin op dealer in NJ named Bob Levy. He had an amazing personal collection that basically filled most of a small home. He had a Centaur in his Bedroom. Whenever I visited I would ask if I could “give it a whirl”.

It was a mechanical masterpiece.

20 years ago upright slots entry level prices (Mills Dewey/ etc. ) were $12-15,000. NIB Sterns were ONLY $3-4000. I haven’t monitored the current sale prices but they must be quite expensive these days.

I figure that it is now the world’s most expensive cat tree. I purchased the cabinet in a Wendy’s parking lot, and had it restored by Waldo over the course of 15 months. It works and plays, and is the only triple centaur of this style known. Generally speaking, there are less than genuine ten triples of all makes and models known.

I knew Bob and bought a few machines from him over the years, mostly small Jenning’s machines. He was always nice to me.

Bob was such a character. He was always so enthusiastic and loved slot machines and coin op.
I’ll look to see if I can locate some pics from his home. It was basically a private coin op museum. He loved compiling groups of different denomination versions of the same machine.

If you don’t mind me asking who is Waldo? Filling that empty cabinet with 3 different denomination mechanisms could not have been an easy task. Also if you don’t mind sharing, how did you locate the cabinet?

I have to ask how much does it weigh? It looks like it would be VERY heavy.

You must be proud! It’s so cool that you located and restored such a beautiful and rare machine.

I always wanted a 1930s Jennings Witch and Black Cat Halloween Slot Machine. Now they are just crazy prices. I should have got one years ago when they where reasonable. If anyone has one congrats!
