Blasts From the Past

[vegasrocks]

Coin operated slot machines are almost a thing of the past. You really don't see them too much anymore. If you go into the side entrance of the Eastside Cannery you may hear a sound that you haven't heard in years. The old coin operated slot machines!

The Eastside Cannery in Vegas is known for having the latest and greatest in machines but the funny thing that I read is most of the new machines are being left unoccupied. But the old style machines are being used continuously.

A lot of people will tell you that they prefer the older style of slot machines. They offer more interaction then the new ones. For the new ones you just push a button. The old ones require coins.

There are fewer than twenty casinos in Las Vegas that still offer the coin operated machines. Maybe the casinos that don't should take note because they are missing out because lots of people prefer these machines.

Some may prefer the older ones, but as for me I think he new way is a lot easier and you do not have to tote a lot of coins around and you get your winnings the same way, with a ticket that you cash in.

This is a lot safer and easier to use than the coins.

While I see why folks would like the old ones....they are ok IF...they are quarter or dollar machines. the reason i like the newer ones is now you can play pennies....they didn't have 1 cent machines before, who wants to tote around a bunch of pennies!
