Old Video Poker Machines

[notes1]

Just as the saying goes; "opinions are like ass holes... everyone has one and they stink"!
 if that is how you feel about others opinions, i guess we will not be reading any from you.

An old machine that is set to pay say 98% and a new machine that is set to pay 98% will both pay....wait for it....98%

I like the old coin acceptor machines. Bit nostalgic but slower. The graphics are different and they jam up but they're fun to me. Dirty fingers and sticky buttons are an aside. I liked the Oddessey machines too.

Speaking about old machines, I have an old wooden one that I bought about 40 years ago. It was full of the old large English pennies and they are dated in the early 1900's. Max pay is 6 pennies. Came from an old beer hall in England. Instead of a one arm pull, it has a twist dial with a heavy spring that spins the reels. The mechansim is quite complicated and not unlike an old clock inside. Works perfectly. Unlike things today, everything inside is heavy duty and designed to run problem free for decades.

 i would guess that machine might be worth a bunch of money.

Last time I was in Laughlin, they still had some coin in VP machines. They also had some sequential Royal Flush machines.

     I don't think it is worth any more than a used modern machine because on the max 6 coin payout. I could be wrong though since I never checked out. I just like it. I seem to like all old things like cars, tools, clocks, furniture, etc. Lost in the 50's I guess. In my case the 1850's.

 you might be surprised, do not sell it before checking it out. i am not an antique expert, but i enjoy watching TV shows about that kind of stuff.

Thanks, but just like the Mrs. this one is a keeper. Pssst. Don't tell my Mrs. I compared her to a machine.

FWIW: An interesting note on the older machines with older chips shared with me by a Slot Supervisor in Biloxi a few years ago. He explained I could find the older processor chips by checking the same game at different denominations. If the same hand shows up on multi-denomination for the same game (say DW, DDB) the chip is an older one.

That might be generally true for game kings. I'll have to keep an eye out for that as I am going to Tunica tomorrow and many of their machines look old.   But also on All Star II machines, Ultimate X machines will eventually default to 3456 suited plus a 9 after a reset or a large period of inactivity. Obviously those chips are pretty new.
