Quoted from Haymaker: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
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.
