| Description |
A classic one-armed bandit slot machine from Harrah's Casino. It takes up to five quarters. I did not give it a try. This was an item for sale at the flea market in the Ft. Andross building here in Brunswick, ME. It might be a nice conversation piece to have in your living room. A slot machine (American English), informally fruit machine (British English), puggy (Scottish English slang), the slots (Canadian and American English), poker machine (or pokies in slang) (Australian English and New Zealand English) or simply slot (American English), is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed. Slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because they were originally operated by one lever on the side of the machine as opposed to a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the gamer impoverished. Many modern machines are still equipped with a legacy lever in addition to the button. A gambler strategically operating multiple machines in order to draw the highest possible profits is called a multi-armed bandit.[Wikipedia] |
