Thoughts on a Atronics emotion Machine

[kmn007]

I am looking for a deal or no deal atronics emotions slot machine. I would like some feedback regarding home use and reliability of this machine. I do have Bally's and IGT but never owned an a Atronics Emotion. Thanks Ken

i've heard that the cruise line ships with casinos are using the eMotion cabinet as emergency anchors...seriously though, we had eMotions on our floor for about 4 years and they were a constant pain in the arse; thankfully we removed the last of them earlier this year.  i don't know how they are in a home game room environment but i wouldn't accept less than $10K/year to have one in my house that i had to deal with.

I am a online systems engineer, and have connected many eMotion / Harmony games , the machines would make great home games, main problem is the engineering of the VGA cables for the dual monitors.....compared to a WMS or IGT game they might be a maintenance pain but for home use it would be great....just my opinion

I have had one in my game room for over a year now and no problems at all.  I change games all the time, trouble free.  The setup when changing games is a little more complicated than other platforms, specifically the multi level progressives part but otherwise its a fun platform to own in a home.

Oh, and Deal of No Deal The Show is a blast
