We buy and sell all models of old slot machines; Mills, Caille, Jennings, Pace, Fey, Watling, Rock-Ola or any others. All of the machines are restored using as many original parts as possible. All our parts are cleaned and refurbished to make each machine look exactly as it did coming out of the factory years ago. Antique and Vintage Slot Machines. The slot machine, was born in San Francisco. The first nickel slot was created in 1893 by an inventor named Gustav Schultze.

A far more elegant predecessor to the flashing, beeping machines of today, antique slot machines are elaborately designed. Some of the oldest and most ornate machines we carry are so hard to find, people don’t realize they exist until they see them among our selection. Victorian-era slot machines are finely detailed and some stand on the floor and rise about 5-feet high. If you are looking for a conversation-starter or a piece of furniture no one else will have, you’ll find it in our slot machine inventory.
