New to slots, out of control already

Just started the "Vegas" section of my basement game room in October. What kind of addiction did you guys get me into?

Very nice!

Welcome to the addiction!

As you know we are a helpful bunch......

You have a couple in the left of the picture that look old and are on stands that don't match.

I would be happy to get those out of your way and make room for newer stands.... Free pickup ?

Well I managed to get them all working 100% - except one of those Jennings on the far right, very close - and even that big beast Summit that uses dollar coins. Those Ike dollars are expensive these days, seems only collectors have them anymore. Still, I managed to fill the hopper with coins and when it pays out, the sound of those coins hitting the tray is just too cool. The $200 win is bittersweet though; now go put the coins back in the hopper and move along...

By contrast, the one-arm-bandit on the left side pays nickles. A jackpot payout amounts to around $3.50 in coins. Life must've been awfully simple back in the 30's.

Watch out for JAY LOL

he pulled the same on my profile pics of my old slots  .. I got smart before the economy went totaly sour .

sold 2/3 of MY OLD ONE ARM BANDITS back in 2007-08 --even then only made a small profit for the 20 + years i had them .

the "best"  ---noise is the coin hitting the tray .. I AGREE ..

Nice bunch of machines!
And electronic machines that most give up on because they can't get  them working.

What muscle cars are you into? I have two AC Cobras - replicas - one of which has a tilt front end identical to the Shelby Daytona Cobra. And a ton of turbo parts from the Buick Grand National. Been playing with cars forever, as I have burning performance chips for those turbo cars since '87. Been restoring Mustangs many times over the years too. And, my daily driver is a new Camaro SS. Love HP.

Your game room must be a trip. I like the engine on wheels, coffee table top I hope? Keep it organized!

About the printed matter: You need to SCAN those and digitize them before it's too late.

About my Bell Boy: I still don't understand the attraction to that little fake slot.

check out the profile pics -the Gray colored engine -I can squirt a drop of ether in carb crank it over once and it will run for over a minute in living room .. NO NEED FOR MESS ONCE YOU SEE IT .
I should  post pics of the cars & races won someday . ..

 We should move this to peoples other hobbies -before it gets carried away here ..
I had the BUICK gran national in 87 brand new .. never should of sold it .. its one of the few new cars i purchased new that i sold .
 
NO SUBTITUTE FOR CUBIC INCHES .. LOL

You're right, time to post in the hobbies section. We must be related; I bought the Impala SS new in 1996 - black - had some fun with it. Then I bought a 2006 Caddy CTSV - black again - more fun. That car was a blast. I've owned three Grand Nationals and one '87 turbo T "Limited", and both of my 11 second Cobras have that engine, one with twins, one single turbo. My problem is I get bored and sell the cars, although I have one GN left, building a 600HP toy out of it. Going to fill my profile and make a post in the gearhead section....

Added a couple of E2000 Bally's. Several more to come, just need more floor space:
