Where slot machines go to die...

ded slot

look like the horseshoe?
the dirty truth about modern (but obsolete commercially) 1988 to 2000 slots is that they have almost no wholesale value, like 20- 50 max ea
(the ones in pix)
and its a real pain for the casino to do anything with them since ea and every one has massive gaming paperwork involved, (about as much as a car per)
and alot or rules regs need to be followed for transport and who in what states can buy and who can not, alot end up going to the dump or metal recyclers as result.
or they get purchased by the home game room slot reseller stores in lots of 100 usually for 2k to 5k per lot of 100 depending on names and cond.

I was thinking about that. I mean, you can resell a Robotron without thinking but you can't sell a slot machine.

Anything that is fun, the govmt wants to control and tax.
 
dang, wish I could get a line of a couple of these. Anybody have a few of these cheap, or know someone selling in bulk lots?
 
I have a couple triple diamond deluxe machines. Just sold a RW&B for $400.

Those casinos wont sell machines to the average joe, you need special permits and the goverment is involved. Yes lots of paperwork, they make sure there is a paper trail to track the machines back to the buyer if they are ever found to be used in illegal gambling.
 
I worked at Bally's Park Place, Atlantic City, as a slot mechanic. They have a special room under the casino where they store slot machines. It almost looked like those photos, but the ceiling is only 4ft high, so when I walked down there, I was crouched over all the time. We would go down there to get parts off the machines. The had rows and rows of machine, stacks of glass. Along the wall where boxes full of parts. So if we needed a new reel for a game, we would go down in the dungeon, as we called it, to get the part. I remeber it was hot as sin down there. They also had another storage warehouse in the Ocean one mall, on the boardwalk. I remeber many cold mornings, wheeling machines back and forth on the boardwalk, during the winter, freezing my butt off.
 
go to nevada where buying and owning slots is legal, and those machines are a dime a dozen. if i had known there was such a demand, i wouldve filled a truck with them before i moved away. i had one in my office and i'd play a few spins every day and mess with the settings.
 
i think there would be a real market for "real" slots in my area..

real vegas slots do not exist here.. its all this palshlo krap
 
I have owned a bunch of slots and video poker machines. No fun for the owner thats for sure. Unless you like winning your own money.

Still trying to find a video poker machine to go with my Bally slot machine.
