Question
How much is a real slot machine worth?

Answer
Bonnie,

I need more information to give a specific answer.  That is like asking how much is a car worth or how much is a house worth?  There are many factors to consider.  Are you asking about the one arm bandits from the 1930's?  An average price for one of them is $800-1400 depending upon condtion and model.  However, some antique slot machines sell for a few hundred dollars and some are worth over $100,000.

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net
