Mentioned earlier that a GameKing was on my wishlist. But I sure would like to find an Anchor Gaming/IGT Pinball slot!!    Not Barcrest.
Fitzgeralds had what I believe was the last one several years ago.

Believe they were all leased to the casino's and never sold to the public.

Wow, Jim I never heard of an Anchor version Pinball. How was it different from the Barcrest style?

It was a slant top with an actual vertical pinball playfield built by Williams. It had Williams flippers too. The ball was not steel, but a hollow composite of some sort. By searching the net I found that it looks like it came in at least three versions, Play Pinball, Pinball Wizard, and Cash Ball. I remember the Play Pinball version.
They were added to IGT and Bally's slant tops.
It was a four quarter machine with a pinball bonus symbol on the third reel or maybe a fourth reel? When you hit it the machine said; "Let's play pinball." You launched the ball and racked up the score. If your score matched the machine's randomly selected score you won big. Can't remember it all, but a lot of fun, several years ago.
On the old forum someone had a pic of one of the versions. But I can't find any.

I checked, and I never downloaded that picture.

WHAT!!!! You didn't download it!!!! NO WAY!!! Bad Stat, Bad Stat!!! I thought that you had everything downloaded!

P.S. I didn't DL it either!  I guess I could have just said that or ditto, but thats not near as fun!!!

     At least I'm organized enough to be able to quickly search everything that I have downloaded over the last three years to determine that I did not, in fact, have it. I'm sure that if I try hard enough I could fail to find lots of things that I never downloaded.

You are definately organized! I have stuff spread all over several different drives, directories, locations, etc.!!!! I don't even have to try and look, I know that I must have missed 90% of the stuff! HA HA

If you look at my finger images you would notice that only the middle finger would be inflamed and extended!!! Or is that flaming? 

Bunker, no excuses!!! TERABYTE drives are dirt cheap now! Bad Bunker, Bad Bunker!!! 

My plan is to shame everyone else into downloading stuff and storing it, then I can just ask for it later when it is needed!  Evil Plan!

Never give up I say! Searched Google - no luck, searched Ask.com - no luck, and then Yahoo, found it!!!

Here is a picture of Randy Adams standing in front of the pinball slot. Randy was at Universal in 1984 when he and Gary Harris introduced the virtual stop slot with stepper reels. He moved to Anchor Gaming and is seen here introducing the pinball slot at the 1997 gaming expo.

Here are more photos from the same 1997 gaming expo.

The first is a WMS display of a X-Factor slot along with Go-Go dancers in the background. How come I didn't them at Joey's 4th bash when I played x-factor?

The second is a picture of the evil emperor from the dark side.    Oh wait, that's Si Redd founder of IGT.
IGT introduced the Vision machine at this expo.

wow what fantastic photos!

Ohh I thought you were actually there!   Oh well K+ for the find!!

[uniman]

I wish I was!!
They came out with some great machines at that time.

To cover a billion in cost you don't need a billion, you only need to cover the interest on a billion.... and a fair bit of those carrying costs could be covered under a private offering.
6% on 1 billion = 600,00 or 50,000 per month.

Nobody caught this - not even you, Statfreak, and you'd go into business with Jay on these figures? Shame on you for not exercising due diligence. 6% on 1 billion is sixty million, or five million a month. I take it that means your stake in the Bellagio is actually closer to 0.049% 

Nice pic of the Dark Lord up above. I was working at Infinity that year and I ran into an elderly geezer who looked exactly like him in the corridor one day. He greeted me by name like he knew me, which was so strange I made it my business to find out who he was. That's when I found out Infinity was an off-the-record Si Redd company, and our absentee owner knew exactly who worked for him.

Well, in my defense, it's all fake money anyway.   The closest that I'll ever get to a billion dollars, or 50-million, for that matter, will be seeing a picture on television of our government delivering truckloads of money to starving financial institutions and needy dictators of third world countries. Me? I get $25 extra dollars in my check. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; it's better than nothing, but a stimulus  to the economy? Not in my case, as I am currently hording it under my old, used, lumpy mattress and faded sheets.

It's impressive that he would know everyone by sight. That's quite a step above just knowing his employees' names.

When I bought my first S+ (RT H-Dlx), the seller gave me a line about how it had been in Si Redd's personal collection. Too bad it was just a BS sales tactic.

That's where the smart money is in this day and age...

my dream machine to own would be a $100 wof dammm i luv those machines.... evrytime i here that ding on the spin its a thrill then u get to spin the wheel which is even more of a thrill cuz the lowest prize is 2k and the highest is 20k....

[SlotJunkie]

Well, since we're dreamin'... the slot I've most enjoyed playing (losing @) & would LOVE to own:

WMS Wizard of OZ
&
the 'next generation' of it??:  Wizard of Oz / Wicked Riches

Slot Store owner here says has seen the 'original' WMS WoOz on resale market, but they're wanting $30k right now for it... just a BIT out of the budget range!
LOL!

Oh, another would be the 'Hot Reel'? version of GRIFFIN'S GATE (or Zeus II, or Hearts of Venice) -- all gates in 1st row triggers bonus spins...
