New Life Games Tech Forums

I have posted a bunch of pictures and messages throughout the forums about my newly acquired classics, but I wanted to share a quick video with the games in action.  I know they don't have the fancy bells and whistles of today's games, but for roughly 4 bills I figured I couldn't have gone too wrong.  These games have brought a lot of fun into our home, and I am officially an addict of having casino games to play at home.  Just don't tell anyone I live in Idaho.  Shhhhh!  ;)

:136-   :105- on your acquisitions and thanks for posting the video.  :71-  I'm glad to hear that your family have enjoyed playing the games. After all, that's what it's all about at the end of the day.


Okay, your secret is safe with me -- and the rest of the world. :97- :97- :97-

What is the poker machine?

CEI - Casino Electronics Inc.  1981 nickle machine.  I have it set to 5 coins max, can be set up to 40 coins max.  Has a Double Up feature as well. 

Man I like that! Maybe consider IGT Game King and Bally Game Maker when you really get into this. It only takes a minute to get addicted! I started out with pachislos and found out that a real slot is only a few dollars more than a pachislo so I am starting my collection. I am getting a "beater" to practice my skills on and hopefully an RWB in about a month or so. That will make 3 and then who knows............. :5-

Yep, I had a Pachislo as well that I bought locally.  That lasted about a month and it was sold.  I would be into it a lot more, but I have to travel out of state to pick anything up.  These aren't plentiful in ol Idaho.  ;)

Eye da Ho?? How may times have I told you to stop that. :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97-

What a great start you have, the games look great, and seem to run good.  I'm sure you'll enjoy them.


I never thought I would go that far but we have two of them now.

Also, one more thing Yoeddy1, and this is very important to remember.......... Don't leave these in a room all by themselves with the lights off.   If you really want to know what happens, go here http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=3071.0 and scroll through the pages from the first pictures posted to the pictures just posted this evening.

I've been following your thread...absolutely unreal room!  Those aren't slot machines, those are jackrabbits!  They keep multiplying!!!  Congrats.

Updated my original post with current photos of the toys!

I like the new pics. Yes, Idaho is nice. I saw "Napoleon Dynamite" and saw nice views of Preston and environs. I hope you didn't have to drive like over 500 miles to get your machines............still it's worth it. Hope you consider some of the ideas we discussed.

If he wants to drive to Las Vegas,he can find some great deals :)
Our gameroom has had a few "Litters" over the last few years. We now keep the lights on 24/7 :)

I think it's still a haul from wherever he is to LV. I drove from Tucson to LV and it still took a good amount of time. I took I-17 to I-40 to US93 over the dam. My friend said taking US 60-89 was risky.

I don't think I would ever drive out of state and bring something back ever again.  Upon my return, I have had nightmares about what "could have happened" if I would have been pulled over.  Pretty stupid on my part.  The poker machine and MAME machines were bought locally on Craigslist.

Nice toys.  They are looking good. 


Half my machines came from a distance away and a few of them from so far away it's scary but sometimes that's what you have to do to get what you want. 

I would have said "Officer, they are junk and just for show in my house anyway". That probably would be enough..... Movie Props, yea, that's it.

I cover all my machines when they come in.  Last time I made a trip to Phoenix to pick up three slant tops the lady at the inspection station asked me what it was I was carrying.  I said 'umm they are' and she said 'Is it a couch?'  I said yes, that's it, it's a couch' and drove through.  That one was the trip I worried about most. 

Oh yea, forgot about the inspection stations on I-10 in AZ and CA

Yeah, I had it covered with a few blankets.  The worst part is that I had my two sons with me on this day trip.  That's the part that makes me shudder at "what could have happened."

Yup, I always shutter when I have to drive through there.  Normally I have a tonno cover over the back and can lay two machines down so not seen but slant tops aren't so small.  :60- :60-  I'm still working on my Jackpot Jungle.  Once day I'll figure out why it doesn't pay correctly.

Anyway it's still a nice little nook of games you got.  But like I said in my earlier post, don't ever shut the lights off cause more games will show up.   :97- :97-

Finally...a video of my MAME cabinet in action!

FANTASTIC VIDEO AND DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR NEW TOY !
a big pos. karma goes out for that great video without dropping the camera while talking or playing lol

Thanks for sharing! I like the Mame cabinet - I have the complete Mame library burned to DVD's from about 7 years ago. I always thought about a Mame cabinet, never got around to it.

Even though I'm here in Orygun, I've never really worried too much about moving a slot or two (I've picked my slots up in Reno). Maybe I should, don't know.

Thanks again for sharing.

Very nice Video and hope you enjoy

Wow,

That sure looks cool. Brings back arcade memories! Sweet looking machine! About how much does one like that go for?

K+ for sharing! :244- :244- :244-

One like this usually goes for around 3 grand new...hence the reason it's taken me forever to get one.  Just couldn't spend that kind of money for a new one, even though arcades were a big part of my life as a kid.  :)

HUGE!  Definitely will need 3 strong guys to move...hand truck is needed too.  I pity anybody that attempts to move this up or down stairs.  Weight, I'm guessing 4-500 lbs.
