Title: Bally El Rancho Slots
Post by: brettno1 on December 03, 2012, 09:14:05 PM
From what I've read on the web, the El Rancho closed in 1960.  There are a lot of Bally Electro Mechanicals that have El Rancho belly glass, and the sellers claim that they came from the El Rancho.  As far as I know, these machines were manufactured after 1960.  For example, the 809's and 831's.  Are these machines just having El Rancho glass put in them?  They can't really be from the El Rancho; correct?  :103-

The original El Rancho Vegas closed in 1960, but the another hotel operated as The El Rancho on the Vegas strip from 1982 to 1992.  It was originally the Thunderbird.
