The number of games and manufacturers of coin-operated machines are
almost end less. Choose from slot, gumball, cigar, music, clocks, cash
registers, pinball, gun, and weigh machines, horse gaming and golf,
to name a few. Slot authoritarian, Marshall Fey, author of "Slot
Machines:
A Pictoral History of the First 100 Years," said the slot machine
mushroomed into a premier collectible after 1976, the year that California
legalized antique slot machine collecting. Many states have since followed
suit.
Robert Levy of Pennsauken, N.J., who has more than 250 antique slots,
said he collects because "they increase in value every year. They
are a good investment, very entertaining, they make wonderful banks,
and they will never be made again." His oldest is dated 1893. Levy,
who is for two price guides in the U.S. and one in England, said he
has bought and sold slot machines for 14 years. For some collectors,
"seek and find" offers the most enjoyment. The rare ones are
difficult to locate because many of them were taken to the city dump
and are lost forever. Some collectors like the "thrill" of
owning an illegal item.
Not every state condones ownership of a slot machine, and some states
require that it be a certain age before it can be sold. Levy said the
Attorney General's office of each state regulates the sale of slot machines,
and it is best to check with that office before buying. Cosmetic changes
over the years are not the only consequences of the modern world of
gaming. "With the old machines, you played one coin at a time and
it paid on the center line.
You could have fun playing and watching and waiting for the symbols
to come up. Today's electronic slots play up to 60 lines at one time;
they will take $100 dollar bills and will, geometrically, take money
unbelieveably quicker. You can sit down and in a matter of seconds,
your money is gone, and so is the fun of the game.
The ones that play up to 60 lines let the casino take in less on each
pull, but it (the casino) makes more money in the long run," Levy
said.

Mid-Life Crisis
is a 5-reel, system-wide Progressive Slot machine. To view the
pay table you must click on the “Pay Table” button
located next to the red “Cash Out” button on the lower
left side of the machine. The progressive jackpot total is displayed
on the bottom of the machine, between your balance and the chips,
and re-starts at $25,000 every time the progressive jackpot is
won. This machine may only be played in the single denomination
of $.25. To play, put money in the machine by clicking on the
chips in the lower right corner and press “Bet Max.”
This will play the maximum bet (9 paylines and 45 coins), giving
you the maximum chance to win and automatically spins the reels.
If you’d like to play fewer lines or fewer coins per line,
just select the lines you want by using the “Select Lines”
and “Bet One” buttons. When you have the bet you’d
like, just press “Spin,” and wait for a win. Win by
lining up items on any of the nine paylines. Receive 5 “Sports
Cars” on any max pay line and you win the $100,000 sports
car super jackpot or $100,000 in cool hard cash! It is your choice!
There are two bonus rounds attainable in Mid-Life Crisis. Hit
three mid-life symbols (bald guy, toupee and gold chain) anywhere
on the screen and they will assemble to pay you a big money scatter
bonus. Or, hit three “lovely ladies” and you enter
the fountain of youth bonus round, where you can win up to 4,000
credits when you have bet with max coins and max paylines. Then
find where all the money is hiding. You will be presented with
“adventure ideas”, which is located on the left side
of the screen or the miracle youth tonic, which is located on
the right hand side of the screen. Keep choosing adventure ideas
until one of your “adventures” turns into funny symbol.
For example, one of the lovely ladies can turn into an older
woman or a baby. If you choose the Miracle Youth Tonic, all of
the wins will cycle through automatically, ending with a skeleton.
In each sub game, you will win an amount relative to your total
bet on the spin. All of the pays, with the exception of the bonus
game winners, are played from left to right. That means that
you win when you line up the icons starting from the leftmost
wheel. To see what each combination pays, just click on the “Pay
Table” button.
