So unless we have some slot machine experts hanging around, I'd propose just making four pages to cover everything, bar of course any that don't match. And by this point things are mostly standardised.

The 'Continental' series, in which multiple variants were actually advertised at the same time. There are tons of these which all take use this style, and might be the first to be offered with different rule sets. Most of our inventory was acquired 15 to 40 years ago. Antique coin-operated catalogs, flyers, stock certificates, and brochures are becoming very difficult to find. The 'Sega Bell', which are supposedly derived from Mills designs of the late 1940s. We are offering rare, original antique literature related to slot machines, arcade machines, gum machines, vending machines, stock certificates, tokens, and carnival, circus, and other collectibles. As far as I can see there are four 'generations' of Sega-branded slot machines (discounting the one-offs and novelty units): Ever-so-slightly different methods of calculating payouts, which leads me to think it might be better to simplify things. It's the rules that are causing the most problems. It seems to me that designs were dictated by what spare parts were lying around, however I'm assuming the core functionality and rules are always the same, even if the payouts are slightly different. Even if you take into account coin slot differences and paint jobs, the panel with the rules changes, as do all sorts of cosmetic things. The part of the result was this:Īgain all signs suggest these were bespoke models. I spent the morning tracking down photos.
