Tickets Found In Slot Machines

on

The guy went machine to machine, found his ticket and gave it to him. See, there are nice people in the world. Casinos tend to have some unsavory people, and I’d never turn my back on my machine to talk to someone without cashing out. These parasites are like pick-pockets, and the casino can’t be responsible for this type of behavior.

Las Vegas is home to over 197,000 slot machines. That’s roughly one for every three residents. With so many slot machines to choose from, it should be no surprise that you can find some interesting ones hiding around town.

This is especially true in downtown Las Vegas, known to many as “Old Vegas.” Fremont Street specializes in keeping the old-time feel alive. This is where you will find all sorts of buildings, stores, merchandise, and yes, even slot machines from the early days of Las Vegas history.

Below you will find a list of some of the interesting, fun, vintage, or downright weird slot machines you can find in downtown Las Vegas.

Coin-Operated Slot Machines


Coin-operated slots are one of the most sought-after unique slot machines found in Las Vegas. They bring a bit of nostalgia back to the game. These are getting harder to find. Many casinos have a hard time finding parts for repair, which has caused most to get rid of coin-operated slots altogether.

The evolution of our U.S. currency has had a dramatic impact. The D Hotel and Casino has phased out all of its coin operated slot machines. For a place specializing in vintage slots (they have an entire floor devoted to these), why would they do this?

Turns out, the machine’s bill reader cannot recognize our newer versions of U.S. currency in $5 and $20 bills. These bill readers cannot be swapped, and old currency is hard to keep in supply. All of this works out to be too much of a headache for the casino.

With that said, there are still a few places in downtown Las Vegas that offer the chance to play coin-operated slot machines. They are:

  • California Hotel and Casino
  • El Cortez Hotel and Casino
  • Fremont Hotel and Casino
  • Main Street Station Hotel and Casino
  • Plaza Hotel and Casino

Sigma Derby


Sigma Derby is a retro horse racing game. It made its debut in 1985 and was quite popular at the time. In today’s casinos, it’s nearly impossible to find. Just like coin-operated slot machines, parts for Sigma Derby games are hard to find when the game is in need of repairs.

In addition to having a difficult time keeping the Sigma Derby machines operational, the casinos make a very small profit on them. They are coin operated and run on just a few quarters. The machines also take over a minute to complete one round.

Because of this, almost every Las Vegas casino has done away with Sigma Derby machines. In fact, there is only one such machine in all of downtown Las Vegas. This machine is at The D Hotel and Casino. Or, if you’re willing to venture to the Las Vegas Strip, there is one other Sigma Derby machine located at the MGM Grand.

Silver Strike


Silver Strike slot machines have an incredible fan base. They appeal to both slot machine players and to collectors. This is because, rather than winning cash, you win silver coins. Well, partially silver coins.

The coins used to be .999 silver. Now they are usually a mix of silver and copper. The variance is due to the fact that each casino is responsible for producing their own silver strike coins. This brings in the collector’s aspect, as there are many different coins to try to win.

The machine has a $3.00 max spin, which you must bet to have a chance at the silver coin bonus. If you get a silver strike logo on the third reel, you win a silver strike coin. Most of these coins are worth roughly $10; however, you have a chance at randomly receiving one worth up to $300.

Slot

There are varying values within each casino, plus several different casinos offering their own coin variations. The cost associated with producing the silver strike coins has deterred many casinos from carrying the machines. In downtown Las Vegas, there are two casinos who still have the game on their floor:

  • The Four Queens Hotel and Casino has four machines
  • El Cortez Hotel and Casino has one machine

Jumbo Slot Machine


The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is home to one of the largest functioning slot machines in all of Las Vegas. This slot machine is over eight feet tall! It is a 4-reel machine that works in dollar denominations. You will find this slot machine in the lobby by their front entrance. Such a massive machine can draw a lot of attention. It’s not unusual to see a crowd surrounding the machine, watching the player.

It does have an arm mechanism on it; however, this is no longer how the slot machine reels are spun. This is done with a spin button. One old-time aspect that still remains is that the payout from the machine is given in quarters. It’s a fun experience everyone should try once.

Vintage Slot Machines


If you’re looking to see some gambling history, Las Vegas is the place to do it. Even more specifically, looking through downtown Las Vegas, where the city got its start. Fremont Street is where the big casinos of Las Vegas originated. It is where it all began in the evolution of what Las Vegas is today.

This rich history is displayed throughout downtown Las Vegas. One of the crowd favorites in nostalgic merchandise is slot machines. There are two displays featuring retired, vintage slots. These are no longer functional but are still amazing to see. They are located at:

  • The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino
  • Main Street Hotel and Casino

If you’re looking for a large selection of vintage slot machines you can still play, your go-to destination should be The D Hotel and Casino. Their entire second floor is devoted exclusively to vintage slot machines. While they have all been converted to TITO (Ticket In/Ticket Out) machines, they still maintain the vintage gameplay options.

SlotZilla Zip Line


If you’re looking for unique slot machines that you can wager money on, the SlotZilla slot machine on Fremont Street is not for you. That’s because it’s not actually a slot machine, but a giant model of a slot machine. In fact, it’s the most giant one in the world. The SlotZilla slot machine holds the world record for the largest slot machine, standing at 128 feet tall.

It is truly a sight to see. It doesn’t stop there, though. The SlotZilla machine is actually a zip line. The zip line originates at the top of the 12-story-tall slot machine replica. From there, riders will fly down Fremont Street, just below the lighted canopy. There are two versions you can try: the zip line and the zoom line.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for something slightly different to do in Las Vegas, or simply trying to change up your usual gambling routine, this list has you covered. Everything on this list should be seen once if you’re a fan of slot machines or Vegas history.

Not only will you be able to play some of the oldest functioning slot machines around, but you will also get to see amazing pieces of Las Vegas culture. You can cap it all off with a ride on Vegas’s own slot machine zip line.

So I was at a bar in a casino and a guy was talking about him almost losing $500 because he was a dumbass.
he said thought he cashed out of his machine. but when he went to the cashiers cage, he couldn't find his slot ticket.

Tickets Found In Slot Machines Dispense

he went back to the machine and saw a lady there playing. the amount on the machine was $5xx.
he asked her if there was $ in the machine when she sat down. she said no.Machines
He went to security.

Tickets Found In Slot Machines Jackpots

Cameras showed that after he left, she sat down. and it also showed that there was still $5xx in the machine when he left.
he said security went to talk to her. she refused to give back the $.
they asked him if he wanted to press charges. he said as long as he gets his $ back, she's free to go.
and he got his $ back.

Yeah, this makes sense. Security can prove the $ belongs to someone else.
it's not yours and not giving it back when asked is stealing.
if I found $ in a machine and security told me the $ belongs to XYZ and the cameras can prove it, I would have no problem giving it up.
On the other hand, I would probably just cash out instead of playing it and take the ticket to a self-service kiosk to cash it. then leave.

Doing this will probably force the casino/police to follow the path of an arrest warrant for you(the person in the photo). I wouldn't plan on visiting a casino in that city for awhile.

I thought of another thing you could do in this kind of situation.
Lots of people talk about crummy casino personnel they run across. Cash it out and go give it to your least favorite tip hustler, or whatever person you had a problem with.
Have a good laugh when it is re-claimed by security later.
Quasimodo? Does that name ring a bell?

Each ticket is logged by the slot machines when they're inserted or cashed out. Whether someone plays the money or cashes it out, they're still caught.
My favorite is when someone puts in $20 on top of it, spins once, and cashes the whole thing out. Still able to determine whose credits is whose.
This feeling is heavy, makes my body ache and I'm ready; To fall into the sky and I see now, the reason why. My heart is heavy, takes me to a place I can't breathe. Only then I know why I see the warning sign.

It gives the thief some plausible deniability if caught. 'What? I put money in spun some times and cashed out. I thought I won, isn't that how slot machines work? Sorry, didn't realize, here's the money.'
Doubtful they will be arrested if they go this route. If they just cash out the ticket then it's a lot harder to deny that it isn't straight up theft.

First and foremost, never trust those stupid 'reserved' signs. They're completely pointless.
If players aren't able to remember to cash out after being done at the machine, they'll be at the mercy of hoping that the Slots / Security / Surveillance teams are competent, and that the CCTV system is able to get the right angles.

They still owe player A $100. If they refuse to pay it, they're banned until the have a change of heart. I've seen one specific instance where the casino took the stance to reimburse the player directly, and have the accused owe the casino instead.

I love this scenario. I've seen this happen. Whomever spun the reel, gets the jackpot. Player A would get their original volume of credits back, but they have no claim to the jackpot.

No it doesn't. Even after paying back the money, depending on circumstance, we may ban the player anyway if it's decided that they're predatory in nature.

Ok, if you think police are as likely to arrest someone who cashes out immediately vs someone who puts their own money on top, plays, then cashes out, then that's fine.

Who said anything about police arresting anyone? I'm talking about what the casino and what gaming will do. Do you have experience in these scenarios?
