Synopsis

If you're chasing slot machines, you need two things: an identification book and a price guide. Eighteen years of research is presented in this pocket-sized (4" x 7.5") price guide. Data has been obtained from many sources---sales, shows, auctions, collectors and dealers. This fourth edition contains alphabetical listings (by manufacturer) for nearly 2,850 slot machines and payout gambling devices from over 200 manufacturers---from 1893 to 1997. Each entry is accompanied by five prices, from brand new, out-of-the-box to clobbered and barely workable. In addition, nearly every entry includes the machine's known nicknames, date of introduction, rarity and other pertinent comments.

This is the 1997-1998 edition. But slot machine values have been so stable the last five years, we don't foresee republishing this book until at least 2003.

Preface: A significant feature in this latest edition is the copyrighted grading system. Developed in 1978 with our first edition, it has essentially standardized what was once piecemeal and erratic and has been updated to keep pace with the times.
