Wow those bally custom slots are from quark's bar that used to be in the LV Hilton when the Star Trek Experience was there.  I thought they were the coolest thing, that must have been late 90's?

They are still out there. One sold recently in Vegas on Craigslist.
Think they were removed from the LV Hilton about 2002.  :103-

Can't keep them all !    I had about  20 of the  Hilton Star Trek machines.   Very unique  "handle" /  "start button"... 
  If you don't know about them...  you would just wave your hand between the  neon/orange plastic (cones) (just to the right of the  bill acceptor)   and that would start the reels !!!

Here's pic of   Konami  slot (next to Bally Yahtzee) when they jumped on the  "gaming -  bandwagon".   From what I remember... these games were on the  casino floor for 3 months...and then were yanked.    I have never seen anything  similar.  This game was  Jackpot  Sluggers.  other was  Golden Saloon   There was a 15" lcd in the back   with backlit reels.  The  Yahtzee is sitting on a stand and the  Konami is on the floor... those Konamis  were TALL machines !

I wonder how tough it would be to put a motion sensor spin button on a machine :103- Might have to try that

I remember Bunker once had a remote control on one of his machines. Just a matter of closing a contact.

The machines I miss were the IGT Totem Pole machines and the IGT Pinball machine (not Barcrest) that really played a vertical pinball game. Both made by Anchor Gaming for IGT they had a Wide Area Progressive attached. I'm sure IGT took them all and destroyed them.  :8- :8-

I remember those, they had multiple level reels right?  Like 3 or 4 and it was like a buy a play in order to play the top reels.
