So come on in, get some coins from the change man by the door
(he's the one with the long chain of keys round his neck)
and spend some time wandering among the bright lights
and loud noises from the amusement arcades of the past
This site is now running under a top rated security certificate and is as safe to use as any on the net

It is our intention to host a resource for those interested in slot machines from the age of The Penny Arcade. We hope it will be of interest to those who may wish to relive their youth or maybe, having acquired such a machine are interested in widening their knowledge of it and the genre in general. By attempting to provide an interesting and knowledgeable website we have amassed details from many different locations including our memories. Hopefully saving you the time and trouble searching for it yourself. A fact of life when undertaking something like this is crediting and validating what you include. As we weren't present at any of the occasions photographed or described we don't know from whom anything really originates (except our own dodgy nostalgia). It then transpired that whoever we credited others got angry because they claimed the person we credited stole it from them. Then we got claims from those who have self-published their own books telling us we got it wrong, but not what their version was, or why it's more accurate. Most unhelpful. I personally know four different accounts of how Sega originated and started making Mills-type machines. And that's only sixty-odd years ago! So take it all in the manner it's offered. We don't want to pollute history with inaccuracies, however until the time machine is invented …....
This site is dedicated to the world of coin-operated machines of all kinds made before 1980, and the people who made them, the people who operated them and those who keep them alive today. The site is free for all to view with registered members having access to the site's special features
