About this title

Synopsis

With the Slot Machine Buyer's Handbook you'll learn how to buy "smart" and save a bundle. This book not only answers questions that immediately come to mind, but will also help prospective buyers gain the expertise and self-confidence that would otherwise be acquired only through years of experience. Avoiding just one costly mistake in the school of hard knocks will recover the cost of this book many times over.

An outstanding feature of the book is the Collector's Comparison, a list of 950 slot machines telling the date of introduction, type of machine, manufacturer, value range, rarity, marketability and reliability.

The illustrated Slot Machine Buyer's Handbook measures 5.5" x 8.5" and contains 100 photos/charts and glossary.
