Title: Finally...Hello NLG! Post by: Yoeddy1 on September 27, 2009, 04:58:25 AM Ok, so I've been posting away in the IGT S/S+ and CEI Draw Poker forums, but I thought I'd come in here and say my official hello.
I'm Jason. I am not a casino enthusiast by any means, I live in a state where gambling is illegal, and I've really only played slots and poker machines on 3 or 4 occasions my entire life. Why am I here then? I'm a coin-op-aholic!! It all started about 6 weeks ago. My wife and I drove to a nearby state to attend a concert. On the way home we decided to drive through Nevada. On the border there is a little town called Jackpot, so we decided, hey why not drop a few coins in some slot machines and try our luck? Well, we didn't do too hot and were only there about a couple of hours, then we decided to head home. That night, I YouTube'd a few slot machine videos and then that morphed into Craigslist and Ebay...again just out of curiosity. One week later, I decided to order an S+ Double Diamond from some jackass crook online called Slots4less / Slotsforless. I've been battling that one for a few weeks, but I have the hitman out to get my money back...stay tuned. Anyway, within this last 6 week period after our quick casino visit, I now have an IGT S quarter Jackpot Jungle that I picked up for less than 200 bucks and a perfect condition CEI nickel draw poker machine. I have replaced bulbs, buttons, candles, pulled out the monitor, tweaked coin mechs, etc, and I'm in Heaven! Restoring these machines is like watching a child grow. I hope I haven't bugged too many of you in my new venture, but I've gotta say this is one of the friendliest bunch of people I've met in a long time, and I appreciate your help! Oh yeah, if anyone likes the rough side of hockey, I run a very multimedia intensive hockey fight site complete with forum, arcade (of course), etc. See my sig. Anyway, I look forward to meeting more of you and I'll certainly help out where I can. Cheers! -Jason Title: Re: Finally...Hello NLG!

Many of us have had similar experiences before finding this site (or before it existed at all, for that matter). Title: Re: Finally...Hello NLG!
