Greetings Group:

I was wondering if Bally made a penny EM machine?  I have never heard of or seen one.  If one exists I would love to see it.  Perhaps add one along with a Circus and Monte Carlo to my collection.

I never heard of it, but they made dime EMs and pennies would fit the same hopper. Finding a mechanical coin acceptor for pennies might be a challenge, and if you did it probably wouldn't work, because it would have been made when a penny was made of copper instead of zinc. A dime comparator could probably be filed and bent to do the job.

Op:

Thanks for the reply.  You are absolutely right about the penny and the different metals used.  At a minimum there would probably be a high rate of rejected coins.  Sounds like more trouble than its worth.  I will stick to my quest for the Circus and the Monte Carlo.  I really like the bonus features.

WOW!  I guess the penny machines were out there.   I am staying away from the "E" machines right now.  Seems funny since you cant get near a penny machine now a days at a modern casino.  I have even seen a 1/4 penny machine!  Perhaps Bally missed the boat many years ago.

I have a Bally 1019 Big Win penny machine.  Takes 1-6 pennies. It is an EM and outside of the occassional hopper over/under pay is working fine  thanks to all the help from members here.   They are hard to find machines, I bought mine years ago.

As for no penny machines in casinos, out here in So. Calif indian casinos there are TONS of games that take 1 cent bets, but only some are actual slots, rest are these fancy video machines which I find hard to call slot machines.  Technically I guess they are unless they are specifically id'd as bingo or video poker etc.  However if you look at the instructions most say 'min bet = 125 credits' i.e. cents, so really these are just the same as a dollar machine as far as I'm concerned, cuz you have to put that much in and more just to play.  But it lets you slice up your betting into single cents into the various odds and lines.  Personally I think it is deceptive, if a machine says 1 cent on the glass, you should be able to play it with one cent even if your odds of winning *anything* back is astronomical.  I've never seen a quarter machine where one quarter didn't allow a play.
None are like the old slots though, since they all pay out in those printed tickets  (booo!)

It was the Bally model 803 Penny Star.  Looked like a regular 742 A and lots of 5 coin multiplier machines made.

Frank:

You learn something new everyday.  The 803 did not show up in any of my books. Must not have been a good one or just a mystery machine.
