Have probably had a few hundred slots come through my doors, but these are what I currently have in my collection.
(Bonus Bucks has the wrong award glass as I bought it with the glass missing. I can't even find a picture of what it should look like. My other Uni has the wrong belly glass as i didn't like the look (have the original somewhere)

Have done a few myself..
Quoted from frenchmarky:Anybody have any tips on drilling out or picking the front door lock on a Bally 873-A? Dated 1972. I got it fixed up years ago but then much later it conked out and I never got back to it until now. Went to grab the key from up top, or on the top door ledge, or in the lock, or in the coin tray and I was sure it HAD to be one of those places or maybe I stashed it somewhere (I wouldn't have a reason to though) or it fell around there someplace but it is just plain gone and I had to give up the search. I figure these must not be that easy to pick and it's okay if I have to drill it. And then in any case, get a new lock and key. It's the vending type lock where the end of the key is like a hollow cylinder. Thanks!
You can drill it with a good bit, problem will be sliding the lever "UP" that unlocks the door. Could try a flathead screwdriver to push it, or worst case, turn the machine upside down and hope gravity does the work lol.

Quoted from ramegoom:Pretty much all just a technicality everywhere. The local law enforcement generally doesn't maintain a means to enforce the age-old laws on the books. As long as you're not caught running a for-profit casino, nobody will hassle you.
There was a news story mentioned a while back on NLG where, a not too bright individual had his slots setup in his garage and would have "casino" nights, with his garage wide open. His neighbors would gamble with their own money and take home any winnings. Not the brightest bulb on the tree, he got busted, charged, and his machines were confiscated.
