As a big fan of Las Vegas, I have long held an ambition to take ownership of a few genuine slot machines. At the moment I don't own my home, so this would be pointless, but a private basement casino is something to which I aspire greatly. The issue is that genuine casino used or casino grade slot machines are incredibly hard to obtain and normally very expensive, note my use of the word 'normally'. Recently a North American business shipped over thousands of used machines from a Japanese casino, refurbished them, and distributed to a number of retailers for end user sales. The machines available are all 'Skill Stop' slots and are not only ridiculously cheap but also very limited, so my advice is to snap one of two up whilst you can. All of the machines have fully working lights and sound and with a lifetime warranty on all parts with the exception of the light bulbs (very cheap and easy to replace), see a selection of the machines available below:

The 'What Happens In Vegas' slot machines are sold with a lifetime warranty on everything apart from the light bulbs (which can be replaced at low cost) and a now very limited. This is a token machine and cannot be easily changed to accept cash, please note that these cannot be shipped to addresses in Colorado or Louisiana because of this. For residents of all other states, please note that tokens can be bought for pennies each at the bottom of this page. Each of these machines has gone throw a full 32 stage restore following a shipment from Asia. At time of writing there are just 8 machines available on Amazon for purchase.

The 'Fortune Wheel' also has a lifetime warranty and is token operated (see tokens below). A well known and popular machine, there are currently only 9 available for purchase on Amazon. Please note that these cannot be shipped to Colorado or Louisiana.

The Lucky Sevens machine is a famous and popular machine, and comes with a basic operating manual and machine key. it comes with a lifetime warranty, and is token operated (see tokens below). Because this machine is token operated, it cannot be shipped to Colorado or Louisiana. At last check there were just 11 Lucky Seven machines available.

The Monte Carlo features a backlit interactive LCD screen and some astonishing lighting and sound effects, and has been modified to work without coins or credits. It is possible to change the odds using your reset key. The Skill Stop feature allows you to stop the spinning reel instantly at the touch of a button! At time of writing there are just 7 available on Amazon.com, so be quick if you want to pick up the excellent Monte Carlo at an astonishingly low price!

Like the other token operated machines on this page, the famous Lucky Cherry machines cannot be shipped to Colorado or Louisiana. There are just 10 left at time of writing, so move quickly if you want to pick one up.

Another token operated Skill Stop, at time of writing there were just 14 'Royal Flush' machines remaining. Please see below for Skill Stop Tokens, and note again that this machine cannot be shipped to Louisiana or Colorado.

Other Skill Stop machines currently available on Amazon, priced at $150-$300, are the Las Vegas, Joker's Wild, Happy Hour, Jackpot, Super Jackpot, Mard-Gras, Horseshoe, Pot of Gold, and more.
