Title: Wondering if this is a good deal... Post by: mark805 on March 15, 2009, 01:57:37 AM I bought my first slot machine and one of you folks told me it wouldn't be the last one... FIRST you guy are right :131-
So now i am searching for the perfect video poker machine to put next to the slot machine... I found this one in idaho, it this a pretty easy model to repair? Is the price reasonable for how he describes it? http://boise.craigslist.org/tag/1038067113.html (http://boise.craigslist.org/tag/1038067113.html) I've been looking for an IGT machine but hard to find near my area.

For that money I'd sooner go after a Gamemaker or Game King. With either of those you have multiple games installed at once. So with one machine you can have video slot, poker games, and keno all in one unit. This Bally is only ONE Game which is not necessarily a bad thing but I would have a very tough time making him an offer that would be "reasonable" in his opinion especially given the machine has problems.

Parts and games are going to be difficult to find and that price is not inticing at all. I concur with looking for a Gamemaker. It should be around that price range, or cheaper if you are lucky, It has 10 games that can be changed rather easily. There are a slew of games available in that platform with Poker, blackjack, keno and slots, and they can be mixed and matched on the board. A Gameking is also nice, but the price is going to go up probably another $500-600.
