So this is a toy slot produced in 1973. 45 years old and still looks like new. Works perfectly. They dont make toys like they used to
Solid wood and metal. No batteries. Completely mechanical including bell and staggered payout when u win
Four payout possibilities on center line. Payout amounts are the symbol representations (green coin yellow coin red coin etc)
Whats cool is u can see the coins collect in their respective "meters"
Here are the representative payouts
1 bar = green coin collection (dimes n pennies)
2 bars = green and yellow(the above plus nickels)
3 bars = green yellow and red (incorrectly colored grey here) so above win plus first row quarters
4 bars jackpot = everything in machine including the blue quarter meter which collects if u fill up the first row of quarters
For scale a pepsi bottle
How is the mail?

How is the mail?
Its the best ap move ever - i own the casino
I will also kick out anyone using multiple players cards :)
And the mail is horrible. If u win i take u off the mailing list. If u lose u receive a complimentary handshake
My mom for years during the '70s and '80s had wanted a slot bank. She'd visit the gift shops, but the slots were either too expensive, or too cheaply made. Just last year I found on Craigslist a nice wood one with a cast iron handle and front—and says Harrah's Lake Tahoe. It releases its cache of coins when you line up a combination of four symbols: either 7s or BARs.
I don't see any pictures of it on The Google, but have read that casinos supposedly used to give away these toy banks for jackpot winners. Has anyone heard or known somebody who got one as a bonus prize for a big jackpot?
Quote: RSWait....what? How does it work if there's no electricity? Or by "no batteries" did you mean you gotta plug it into the wall?
I have one of those. It's spring driven. When you pull the handle, it winds up on the downstroke, and the wheels fly when you let go. If they land on a winning combo, a trap door inside opens and drops the coins. All or nothing, not a fixed amount by spin value.
Must have been almost 20 years ago I bought it in the gift shop. It was around $30 or $35; I don't know that they ever gave them away as a promo, but I'm sure they could have.

Thanks babs u explained the no batteries part better than i could
I do have a different slot from u since mine does not pay all or nothing. Look at my pics and info
U get paid based on how many symbols line up. The trap door is compartmentalized. U can actually feel the separate trap doors with ur finger if u reach under. Depending on the win u get the corresponding column of coins. Its only awards everything if u hit the jackpot

Yeah, I like yours a lot. I was specifically referencing the Harrah's model in the picture, not yours. Definitely yours has more going on inside, with a coin sorter and distinct jackpots.

I thought u were referencing the harrahs model but ur response to RS about no batteries was his response to my op stating my slot worked without any hence i wasnt certain which u were referring to specifically
All cleared up now lol
Somehow it wound up in his basement.
It was a nickle machine, and it worked just fine.
I loved to bet my paper route earnings in that one armed bandit.
Quote: MobcasinosVery nice slot toy you have there. Where did your buy that slot toy. Does is it work like a real slot machine you just spinning and no paying?
Yes like a real slot machine. There are spins with no wins and where u only win smaller amounts based on the center line pay
Any result with no bar in first reel of center line is a no pay
I think RS was "trolling" and you fell for it.Quote: beachbumbabsI have one of those. It's spring driven. When you pull the handle, it winds up on the downstroke, and the wheels fly when you let go.

Just to be clear, you bought the toy slot bank like the one that says Harrah's Lake Tahoe on it? I haven't found any pictures of a casino-branded machine that has the wooden base, so it seems rare. But I guess the chance (probability!) of someone having one of those is greater here!
Video if my toy slot. Didnt win :(
