Preference: coins or credits?
SolidSilver:
I happen to dig the CLANG CLANG CLANG of a slot machine dumping ten bucks of quarters into the payout tray, and I really don't feel like I'm betting unless I feed solid chunks of metal into the coin slot.
But today, most all machines pay only in credits or little paper slips, and damned few will even accept an actual coin.
So naturally, since it's all they can get any more, most of the slots-for-home-use dealers "recommend" coinless slots.
OK, folks: for home gameroom machines, that you and your friends will play for fun, which do you prefer?
Real coins
or
Paper/credits?

Hey SolidSilver, great question! Looking forward to seeing the answers.
Personally, I switched to paper (Bettor TITO) so I could play higher denominations for longer period of time. I also found that after a while, I never put coins in anymore, so I got rid of them.
However, I've never had a dollar-sized token machine before and I agree that nothing beats that sound. I too like the feel of the larger coins. I've thought about setting up a dollar-like machine, but just haven't done it.
Okay, so my official vote is "paper".
C'mon coin fans!

I own two Game King machines. Both are set for each quarter dropped to give $25 in credit. They also can accept bills but I never use them since they only credit the machine at the bill's face value. I have both set to hand-pay only but credits in the machine rack up to $100,000. If I run out of credits or quarters I just open up the machine and scoop the coins out of the hopper. I really enjoy this set up because I can "high roll" quite easily.

All my slots are 3 reel, two or three coin max bet. All use tokens and I set the credit limits to make payouts to the coin tray a little more likely because I also like the traditional slot sounds from the pre-ticket/bill days because that's the true casino sound :89- My Red Hottie machine is the only one with a BV and it just got a Bettor Tito upgrade with a 100 credit option on the service switch, but it still uses tokens with a split pay limit set and the BV will ONLY take tickets, no bills. Tito works great and if someone messes with the cash out button I don't spend time putting the credits back on. By the way, THANK YOU Jim at Bettor Slots for a great working, easy to install Tito board :3-

I would prefer coinless, but since I'm looking into the laws of owning a machine, I'm so far finding that here where I live, I may not be allowed to own a machine if it can take currency. I'm not exactly sure how to get around that yet. Maybe it will allow Americain bills, and maybe that will be allowed. I still have so many hoops to jump through on this prospect.
