Title: Where to buy bulk Slot Machines from Casinos/Auctions?
Post by: sblair on May 20, 2011, 05:01:10 AM
I'm interested in how most of the casinos sell their used machines.  Do they do direct sales to dealers or liquidators or do they go to auction?

I've been flipping some slots locally that I picked up from some Arcade auctions and know there is another guy in town tha appears to have a large load of machines that came out of the Paris Las Vegas casino. 

What are the channels to buy them through if I'm looking at picking a larger quanitity up for doing local sales?

Thanks.
Scott

My understanding is they sell them to brokers and the brokers sell them to dealers, etc.
I believe this is a requirement of the gaming regulations in some locations if not all.

Some themes can not be sold (leased to the casino) and they have to destroy or return it to the manufacturer of the slot.

Make sense.  I know the laws in some states require they have to be sold out of state. 

Any idea who some of the major brokers are?
