About this title

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.

From the Publisher:

Most people have no idea of what a slot machine is worth. The result is that they nearly always pay too much, way too much. The sad part of it is, these same people think they are saving $40 by not seeking professional help. What they fail to realize is, the information contained in a book of this magnitude took many people many years to create, and the price of the book can frequently save the novice buyer 10 to 20 times the price of the book!
