Question
I've got a casino jewel slot machine here and I know nothing about it. It's in an all-wooden case about 3 ft tall. It also has no screen whatsoever but has a lot of buttons. seems to be a roulette type game because it has some kind of roulette looking wheel. Another problem is it's all in german including everything inside the machine. otherwise this machine is in wonderful condition.

Answer
Sorry for the delay (I was out of town).

Your machine is a german machine (which you already knew :-)).

I am not familiar with that machine, but I am guessing it was made in the 1960's. It is probably designed to by hung on the wall and it probably weighs a ton. It probably also runs on 240 volts.

There is really not much demand for it in the US. I would guess it is worth less than a $100 in the US.
