Answer
Hi Diana,

You have a Bally Electro/Mechanical slot machine, it's a 1967 Model 809 "Multiplier", see the information attached as a photo. Value is a little hard to guess as with all antiques. This is a very nice machine, small and called the Bally Classic line because of there size. Value can be from 500.00 to 1,000.00 at todays prices and this really depends on how you go about selling it. In a retail environment and with a guarantee I would not be surprised to see it priced higher then this. On ebay you might see one of these at auction close from 400.00 to 700.00. I hope this has answered your questions on it. If you need or want a manual for this machine, I would recommend the Bally #2400 manual and this would cover all aspects of this machine, ad is also a very easy to understand manual with tons of information in it. I you want this manual you can get it here:
