If money and space weren't an issue what would be your absolute must have knock down drag out favorite slot to own?




For me it would be this machine I played that was a three reel regular slot that had this transparent screen over the reels.  You almost didn't notice that it was there until the machine went into bonus mode - it made the reels change and placed a bonus round over the reels and was a lot of fun to play.  I didn't notice who made it but the technology was really cool. 

My wife is much simpler -  she likes the cash crop  -- wms 550 i think   

My Super Stars Spin with nice reel strips...  :96- :96- :96-

Rob (trying to laugh at the situation)

p.s. I have always loved The Wheel Of Fortune Game.

You will have shiny nice strips before you know it!!   It's great that you already own your dream!!!! Contrats  :3- :3- :3- :3-

A GameKing with touch screen would be nice!  :71- :71- :89-

Everyones dream machines.. a Wheel of Fortune. Of course I was a slant video WOF and a 3 reel one.. since we're dreaming

Well...for me hard to answer...I love them all....but recently picked 2 machines that are in my top 10 list. 

First pic below is a IGT S2000 Barcrest picked up last weekend...thanks Ken @ Ohio Gaming.

Second pic below...definetley in my top two most desired picked up a couple months ago....thanks Bob.

That's two nice slots you have there archjds!

Anything with a functional WOF.  :131- :131- :131-

I think my dream slot would be any machine that allows me to drop a quarter in and guarantees that I'll surely win a million bucks!.... :96-

That is a great looking Tabasco game!  :89- :89- :89-

Rob

1.  3 or 5 reel based WOF.
2.  Star Trek Bluebird 2 slot.
3.  Silver Strike machine.

I've only seen the star trek machines at the Hilton in vegas.... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wizard of Oz video BB2
Star Trek video BB2
WOF Super Spin video with 9 seats

 Yeah, baby!!

I have to agree Tac that Star Wars and Wizard of OZ are definetely on the cutting edge of the next generation of slots.....I love sitting there and losing my money...one of the few machines I can say that you can sit there and enjoy not winning.    :72-

Wonder if I can fit one of those through my front door  :103-

I really like the Deal or No Deal slots too... I wonder if they are like the wof and will not make it out of the casino.

Why we are dreaming...

Star Wars AVP
WMS Wizard of OZ
IGT Twilight Zone
IGT Elvira
IGT Addams Family

I was waiting to see how long it would take someone to include the giant WOF "slot" station.

That's definitely on my list, too, with seating for two at each station.
A bank of three or four 3-reel WOFs hooked up to a server with the proper WAP software and a nice 2 x 4 overhead sign driven by a con2i, with decent odds of hitting the thing. Naturally, my Super Spin WOF station would also be hooked into this. :5-

I've never even played Star Trek BB2 yet, but it has to be on my list as well.
A really huge 4-reel Big Bertha with a giant handle and some personality.
A bank of machines of any game with 5 physical reels and transmissive reel glass technology and a large LCD above for common multi-player bonus rounds.
A full-time staff of beautiful women in sexy outfits serving me and my friends drinks and food while we play.


At that point, I might as well own a casino, so... :79- How about a billion dollars so I can buy a nice LV strip property?  :97- :97- :72- :72-  -- Oh wait! Then I woudn't be able to play at all due to Nevada gaming regulations. :37- :37-  and I definitely wouldn't be able to open up the machines and get my money back like I would in my mansion.  :97- :97-

Wow - great looking Tabasco game!  I have a 3 reel version, but the 5 reel with video screen...now I'm jealous.

One machine I have always wanted has been an Odyssey...I actually got to play one in a real casino at the Luxor in Vegas.  Sadly, the next time I was there...they were all gone - thanks IGT!  I'm not sure why I want one with the problems they have, lack of parts, not being able to update the bill validator, etc...but I am sure someday I will pick one up...just haven't seen one for the right price in my area.

Wheel of Fortune would always be nice too....you always want what you can't have :)

Dan #2

Someone beat me to it.  I was going to say the big, fat, ginormous Wheel-of-Fortune machine with tons of seating.  I LOVE that game.  Well, you said money and room no object, LOL.  Other than that I would love to have a Jackpot Stampede Deluxe game.  I am close though with a Big Bang Piggy Bankin', Jackpot Party and Jackpot Deluxe dotmation games.  But really, most of the machines we have now are the games we have always enjoyed more than others. 

So who has one of them WOF games they need to store somewhere??  I have a half acre.  Maybe someone works at a casino and can leave one of them out back by the dumpster for me to pick up, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I reckon I'd have to say 3cm Triple Double Wild Cherry Deluxe Haywire with Mystery Reel Action including Spin Till You Win feature.

If anyone runs across one of these whether in a casino or elsewhere, PLEASE let me know!   :5- :5- :5-

A SLOT MACHINE THAT NEVER BREAKS DOWN will suite me to the ground, pref IGT


cheers



O Z Z Y  :141-

Stat,

You mentioned a billion dollars to buy your own strip casino.....ever since the MGM group announced it is considering selling off some properties I have been interested in the Beligio.
The TI sold for 775m, so 1 to 1.2b seems a reasonable price tag for the Beligio.

To cover a billion in cost you don't need a billion, you only need to cover the interest on a billion.... and a fair bit of those carrying costs could be covered under a private offering.
6% on 1 billion = 600,00 or 50,000 per month. Theoretically I would normally only need prove I could cover the carrying charges + cost of operations.

So if I could get a Fed backed loan (as who in their right mind is going to "lend" me 1b) I could probably lower those costs to about 2% - 2.5% or about 22k per month.

Since we were able to raise money for Joeys toppper so I am hoping the NLG gang can chip in here too.....
1. Money.. I will back all buy-the-beligio contributed funds in equivelent to free rooms at $200/night. Ie give me 1K - you get 5 free nights.
2. Anyone got any connections in the Fed ?
3. I will refund all monies (less 18%) if the bid for the Beligio doesn't go ahead.
    - The 18% is cover bid,legal costs etc.

Stat has been nominated as treasurer.... Oz for floor manager, Joey head of slot maintainence, and I will take applications for other senior board postitions.

 

I'm in, but I'll want 49.9% ownership (you can maintain control of the company) and will participate in raising capital and obtaining Federal backing. We should meet privately as I have some ideas on increasing the property's income stream. I suggest that we meet at the Bellagio so that we can survey the property thoroughly while discussing our plans. I also suggest that we sample the cuisine from each of the hotel's fine dining establishments to assess and re-evaluate the role of each location in our future plans. I will also arrange a tour of operations and a thorough inspection of the company's books.

I submit my application for CVO.  (Chief VALLET Officer) :5- :97-

If the movie Casino had it right, you'll be making more than all of us! :131- :131-

I'm in for CTO and head of IT Operations. :5-

Might as well put my eduaction to use somehow! :71- :71-

I want to be head of security.   And catch all the cheats!

Of course the Wheel of Forture.....but 2 of my favorites are  Triple Diamond with Cheese that I played at the Monte Carlo and the Balley  Monte Carlo machine w/progressive that they have there too.

I wonder if WOF is popular because it can't be owned....... 

I never liked WOF -  don't know why.

My wife calls it the "Wheel of Misfortune"

That's part of it  I just like it because of the sound effects.  I was a big fan of the show growing up so I'm a sucker for the chant "Wheel Of Fortune!!!!" 

I wouldn't think so because I was a fan of the WOF slot way before I started collecting. I still play it every time I'm in a casino. One day I will hit the "1000" and then I will probably never play it again! LOL...

Rob

It's probably why I love deal or no deal - that music gets me every time.

Yeah, I forgot about the Deal or No Deal Slots.  Some of them can be quite expensive to play though.

Yeah, I think its the sound effects and the bonus wheel that gives it the appeal, maybe thats why I really like the super spin, cause its a reall big wheel!!  :5-

 Dan (tacman)

I agree. I liked WOF before joining NLG, and I don't even like the WOF game show all that much!  :30- :97-  (I prefer Jeopardy and often tune into something else when wheel comes on).
It's all about the chant, the spin, and the other sound effects, and more recently, that BIG wheel. :96-

That huge wheel would be cool in the house - the life size one they have with 8  or 12 games around it!

There was also a Jeopardy bonus top IGT game around that was very popular in the late 90's.  Does anyone have one of these?  I don't remember if they were an exclusive WAN progressive or not.

Rick, I think the Jeopardy is in the same boat, WAP and licensed too!  :8-

 Dan (tacman)

1. Star Trek Video
2. Munsters Video
3. Sopranos

enforcer

The Sopranos slot: If you win, there are no income taxes, but you have to give Tony Soprano his 30% cut, or they break your arms and legs and shoot up your house AND your kneecaps. If you lose on credit, then it's 130% interest at 2.5% weekly or they break your arms, legs and balls, shoot your kneecaps on the way out as an afterthought, and THEN take your car and business. :14-  :14-   :107-
It also cheats. :96- :96-

The Star Trek slot: If you win -  You go where no man has gone before... :96-

 :97- :97- :97- :97-

I should add machines that are realistically obtainable and would like to own:

1.  Flip Flop (S+ with anchor gaming top)
2.  A nicely working Odyssey.
3.  Bluebird cabinet with dual screens.

The one that I can go play at a casino and that will give me a couple million dollar jackpot on the 1st pull :
Then I can go and buy some neat stuff.
 :136-

I thought you said realistically

Now why would you want to curtail a perfectly good fantasy by bringing realism into it? :5- :5-
I'm on my way to a 49.9% ownership in the Bellagio and we've already attracted a talented senior staff! Come by when we're up to speed and I'll get you set up in a private slot area with all three of these lined up and waiting. :30- :72- :72- :72- :72-


OUCH!  :7-  :97- :97- :97-

I'm with Rick: I like Odysseys!  :89- :71-

I don't know...... Odyssey??? Really??   :103-

You know the Odyssey is a pretty innovative platform with great graphics and sound. I just don't think it had the market share to stay viable and support was rather lacking.

 Dan (tacman)

I used to love those white gloves with nobody in them dealing me three-dimensional cards!  :89- :89-

I also used to clean up on the Safe Cracker game by looking for machines that were short only one or, at most, two numbers. Then I'd play until I hit the bonus and leave the now empty combination to the tourists to fill in.

yes they are    :89-

A Spielo Powerstation machine.
Been looking for one for a long time,cant find one.

As for video slots it would be Dukes of Hazzard by wms,  they had it at the Tropicanna in A.C.
Thanks,
Wayne

Mentioned earlier that a GameKing was on my wishlist. But I sure would like to find an Anchor Gaming/IGT Pinball slot!! :89- :89-   Not Barcrest.
Fitzgeralds had what I believe was the last one several years ago.

Believe they were all leased to the casino's and never sold to the public.  :8-

Wow, Jim I never heard of an Anchor version Pinball. How was it different from the Barcrest style?

 Dan (tacman)

It was a slant top with an actual vertical pinball playfield built by Williams. It had Williams flippers too. The ball was not steel, but a hollow composite of some sort. By searching the net I found that it looks like it came in at least three versions, Play Pinball, Pinball Wizard, and Cash Ball. I remember the Play Pinball version.
They were added to IGT and Bally's slant tops.
It was a four quarter machine with a pinball bonus symbol on the third reel or maybe a fourth reel? When you hit it the machine said; "Let's play pinball." You launched the ball and racked up the score. If your score matched the machine's randomly selected score you won big. Can't remember it all, but a lot of fun, several years ago.
On the old forum someone had a pic of one of the versions. But I can't find any.  :37-

I checked, and I never downloaded that picture.  :8-

WHAT!!!! You didn't download it!!!! NO WAY!!! Bad Stat, Bad Stat!!! I thought that you had everything downloaded!  :97- :97- :97-

CaptainHappy :95-

P.S. I didn't DL it either!  :72- I guess I could have just said that or ditto, but thats not near as fun!!!  :97- :97- :97-

 :97- :97- :97- :97-   At least I'm organized enough to be able to quickly search everything that I have downloaded over the last three years to determine that I did not, in fact, have it. I'm sure that if I try hard enough I could fail to find lots of things that I never downloaded. :127-  :30- :30- :30-

 :72- :72- :72-
If I tried to download everything I have read or seen on NLG...
I'd need a bigger hard drive...lol

.. and a new index finger.
(http://i27.tinypic.com/htd9h3.jpg)

You are definately organized! I have stuff spread all over several different drives, directories, locations, etc.!!!! I don't even have to try and look, I know that I must have missed 90% of the stuff! HA HA  :97-

CaptainHappy :95-

If you look at my finger images you would notice that only the middle finger would be inflamed and extended!!! :96- :96- :96- Or is that flaming?  :72- :72- :72-

Bunker, no excuses!!! TERABYTE drives are dirt cheap now! Bad Bunker, Bad Bunker!!!  :97- :97- :97-

My plan is to shame everyone else into downloading stuff and storing it, then I can just ask for it later when it is needed!  :79- :79- :79- Evil Plan!  :72-

CaptainHappy :95-

Never give up I say! Searched Google - no luck, searched Ask.com - no luck, and then Yahoo, found it!!!

Here is a picture of Randy Adams standing in front of the pinball slot. Randy was at Universal in 1984 when he and Gary Harris introduced the virtual stop slot with stepper reels. He moved to Anchor Gaming and is seen here introducing the pinball slot at the 1997 gaming expo.  :3- :3-

Here are more photos from the same 1997 gaming expo.

The first is a WMS display of a X-Factor slot along with Go-Go dancers in the background. How come I didn't them at Joey's 4th bash when I played x-factor?

The second is a picture of the evil emperor from the dark side.  :97-  Oh wait, that's Si Redd founder of IGT.
IGT introduced the Vision machine at this expo.

wow what fantastic photos!

Whoa!  :81-
These are not my personal pic's. Found them on the web from the Las Vegas Review Journal.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/1997/Oct-27-Mon-1997/business/6308857.html (http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/1997/Oct-27-Mon-1997/business/6308857.html)

Ohh I thought you were actually there!   Oh well K+ for the find!!

I wish I was!!
They came out with some great machines at that time.

Nobody caught this - not even you, Statfreak, and you'd go into business with Jay on these figures? Shame on you for not exercising due diligence. 6% on 1 billion is sixty million, or five million a month. I take it that means your stake in the Bellagio is actually closer to 0.049%  :72-

Nice pic of the Dark Lord up above. I was working at Infinity that year and I ran into an elderly geezer who looked exactly like him in the corridor one day. He greeted me by name like he knew me, which was so strange I made it my business to find out who he was. That's when I found out Infinity was an off-the-record Si Redd company, and our absentee owner knew exactly who worked for him.

Well, in my defense, it's all fake money anyway. :96-  The closest that I'll ever get to a billion dollars, or 50-million, for that matter, will be seeing a picture on television of our government delivering truckloads of money to starving financial institutions and needy dictators of third world countries. Me? I get $25 extra dollars in my check. :5- Not that I'm complaining, mind you; it's better than nothing, but a stimulus  to the economy? Not in my case, as I am currently hording it under my old, used, lumpy mattress and faded sheets.  :58-


It's impressive that he would know everyone by sight. That's quite a step above just knowing his employees' names.

When I bought my first S+ (RT H-Dlx), the seller gave me a line about how it had been in Si Redd's personal collection. Too bad it was just a BS sales tactic.

That's where the smart money is in this day and age... :89- :187-

...until you forget that you put money there and throw the mattress away. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/10/mattress-with-1-million-a_n_213591.html)

Wonder if she knows this lady???

my dream machine to own would be a $100 wof dammm i luv those machines.... evrytime i here that ding on the spin its a thrill then u get to spin the wheel which is even more of a thrill cuz the lowest prize is 2k and the highest is 20k....

Well, since we're dreamin'... the slot I've most enjoyed playing (losing @) & would LOVE to own:

WMS Wizard of OZ
&
the 'next generation' of it??:  Wizard of Oz / Wicked Riches

Slot Store owner here says has seen the 'original' WMS WoOz on resale market, but they're wanting $30k right now for it... just a BIT out of the budget range!
LOL!

Oh, another would be the 'Hot Reel'? version of GRIFFIN'S GATE (or Zeus II, or Hearts of Venice) -- all gates in 1st row triggers bonus spins...

SlotJunkie, all those game titles are NXT2 platform games. I agree that the Wizard of Oz and Hot, Hot Respin games are very entertaining!!  :89-


 Dan (tacman)

Well....I have a dream slot now, but I'm sure that one will be pale in comparason to what I will see in a few hours at the G2E here in Las Vegas.I will be armed with a camera (hope they allow that).
If your going to be there, look for an OLD buzzard (with a young chick/wife) in tow wearing a Motorola UHF AstroSaber radio on his left hip, that will be me.

Kirk

I have only seen one of these at the Atlantis in Reno and that was an bank of ELVIRA's. It was a couple of years ago. I am a big fan on hers but I really like the slot. Was in the casino yesterday but I couldn't find one. They seem to be just like the Men in Black, they just disappeared. Too high of lease or what?

Was in a new (re-opened) casino in Phoenix area a couple of weeks ago & there were these machines that looked like had 4 games going in 1 screen -- screen had 4-quadrants with the same slot game going in each area...

Looked like Cleopatra in one bank -- couldn't see the others the machines were so crowded.... Could never get on to play them...

What the heck are these???

These are IGT's new line of AVP 3.0 machines. This one happens to be Wolf Run, it has the Dynamic Buttons that are like individual programable LCD screen! This model is the G22 slant top.

Kinda like triple poker, it is QUAD video slot! (It will suck your money down faster!!! They love it!!!)

BOBODUDE may recognize the area the picture came from as it is in the Atlantis in Reno near the Purple Parrot Restaurant.

This IS my dream machine, just very pricey!!!!  :25- :8- :8- :8- :30-

CaptainHappy :95-

YEAH!!!!
That's what I saw... was too wild!!!! 

Really wanted to play, but they were being slammed with lines of people waiting to get on those suckers!!!!

Thanks CaptainHappy!!!!!!!

What is my Dream Slot....

Thats EASY...   H E X B R E A K E R with HooDoo the Cat and the Mirror bonus and the Ladder bonus.

THE BEST GAME ON THE PLANET !!!   :79-     I just  L O V E this theme  :89-  :96-  :5-  :3-  :131-
 

Put some cellophane over your keyboard to protect from drool  :185- :185- :185- :183- :183- :183- :184- :184- :184- and go here:

https://www.igt.com/Machines/default.html (https://www.igt.com/Machines/default.html)

You can mouse over the machines and download their marketting brochures, print them on photo paper, and put them up on the wall! HA HA  :97- :97- :97-

CH :95-

I like the look of that slot very much.  I played them in Vegas  and they are a lot of fun.   

Some even have 4 titles loaded and you can pick the game you want to play. 

Mine would be a "red-hottie" or "wheel-hottie" or a........... :25- :30-.  B.

My dream slot would be the WMS "Dukes of Hazzard"

w

My Wife's dream machine would be "Elvis"  Vision, the first one..


w

I'm a Trek fan and I played the new game.... I love it!

Especially when the seat vibrates when you get a good hit.

here's a pic of my wife's fav

That looks cool. Like a vision/barcrest hybrid.

I have not been enough lately to the casinos to see or have the time when I was there to explore because I was to busy winning-  :5-.  munch,-The star trek game do you or anyone have a picture of it-?.  I am a huge trekie fan here. Does it have some cool sounds?.  Thanks in advance-B.

I just played the new trekkie machine this past saturday nite with another NLG member!
that's one cool baby with the speakers in the chair behind your head....love the surround sound!!!
Makes me wanna put a slot machine in a sit down "Road Rally" arcade machine....LOL

Yeah, cool game... didn't hit the bonuses very often though.
:(

I saw those hotel bed vibrators on ebay awhile back. (in the slot machine section no less??) Was thinking a Haywire machine in a sit down arcade cabinet with vibrating seat during haywire respins along with a tesla coil behind glass would either be amazing or a major disaster!!  :50- :50- :50- :72-

Thanks SlotJunkie for the picture.  I am deff. putting this on my list to just "collect" the parts for now as I must have one.  It probably has some cool sound/vocals as well-?.  Thanks Barry.

Maybe not a dream machine. But would like to have one of these.

I remember taking a few pulls on the top one at the Imperial Palace in '91... :96-
That thing is major huge!

OK so it's been a long long time since I been in here, I think before Thanksgiving but if you only knew what was going on around here.   :99-

So I met up with jstraa (NLG member) and his GF, Sacha, and I have to say they are fantastic people.  Anyway while in Vegas meeting up with them I got a chance to see some of the new games that are out there and this would definately be my dream slot.  Slingo. There were a buch of real fun video type games and not being a fan of video they were pretty darn fun.  But that's a different story.  So the question of dream slot, this is it but I would take a vision slingo to if I could find one, preferable the kit since I already have the vision case to put it in. :5-

Circus Circus had a Jumbo Midas Touch last year. Fitzgerld's downtown had one too.
I have a Jumbo mpu and game chips. Just need the rest.  :72-

They're a lot of fun to play.

my best slot machine ever/// would be the one between dean martan and sammy davies jr. because i would have them put there names on it and it would be worth millions.no realy the game i like and always will like is double diamounds video it would pay ...jackpot///;;;

Good question... :71-  ( "hmm... Bunker thinking...")

Okay... I got it!

My idea of a dream slot would be one that continuously spits out someone elses money.... :96-

IGT's S2000 Minnie the Moocher!

 :205-   :92-   :72- :72- :72-

Me?  A pristine Mummy R/T 3 coin machhine.

My deam machine is Dean Martin's Wild Party.....and I plan to get it. 

I would also love to have Tim Conway and Harvery Kormans Last Resort - but I think that one is a pipe dream since I've never even seen one in a casino let alone for sale.

My dream machine would be a WMS Blue Bird (Marti Gras Madness) for my wife. Maybe..just maybe this would keep her from the local casino's for a day or two :99- Then I  would have the machine for many years to come :89- :89-

Bally Michael Jackson or Cash Wizard.

They would have to sit on the floor because I don't think I have a ceiling that is high enough if they were on a stand....

Dan #2

Bally E1000/E2000  5 REEL !

Found a couple but too far from Michigan.
