Title: Game Maker $700
Post by: ag21197 on February 02, 2011, 02:58:55 PM
Hello all. There's a guy locally that wants to sell me a Bally Game Maker in pretty good condition for $700.00. What do you guys think?

It's a good price is it's 2000 or newer.

Seems to be a fair price. Make sure touch screen works, bill validator, etc. Included clear chip would be nice also. Newer model would be preferred(12 button deck) for versatility. Good luck.

Is it a 13" or 17" , flat top or Round top ?   What year was it made ?   See If they have any other game chips to throw in also as you can change the 10 games on the board.   Be sure to play a few games ... check for jittering on the screen... Check the calibration ( touch screen ).... Bill

It is a flat top but the thing is huge. He's throwing in a stand and clear chip. It has a 17" monitor. Touch screen works well with no jittering. Played most of the games, and they seem fine. The bill val. need to be updated. Talked to blueridge slots and they quoted me 15 buck to do it. It's DVB 200. I don't know what year it is. Two of you made mention of year. One said it's a good price if it is a 2000 or newer. How do I check for certain what year it is?

O' and it is not a 12 button.

Looks to be a V7000 series. With the dbv in the lower glass. V7200 has dbv even with bet deck as in picture before your picture post.

Where are you located ?  If anywhere near Chicagoland; Tacman ( I believe is considering selling his)...    That machine looks nice ; but is a bit older.    Are you able to offer a lower price ?

Tried to offer less but he's firm. He's throwing in the a stand, a clear chip and a manual. Unfortunately, I'm in S. Cal. On an up note, the bill validator accepts all bills except the new colored 5's. Also takes bilsl in any direction and upside down. Can this machine be updated to handle the new colored 5's if i send it to blue ridge slots and have it updated?

Thanks Anyway

I'd talk to JOSHMAIL here on the site. He's in Phoenix and could probably get you a Gameking for a little more money. It would be a newer machine and an IGT with 31 games instead of the Bally. I think you'd be better off. Just my opinion...
