Slots made before 1951 did not have lighted or plastic fronts, except for the Jennings Sun Chief models. They were metal and wood, not electronic. Most of the slot machines from the 1890's to 1940's were made by only a few manufacturers: Jennings, Mills, Pace, Watling, Caille and Superior.

Owning a vintage slot machine is one of those fun yet daunting ideas. Many old school one-armed bandits are beautifully designed and instant conversation pieces. Plus slot fans who own a machine don’t ever have to worry about losing money to the house.

Charles August Fey, a Bavaria-born inventor, was living in San Francisco when he invented his first gambling machine in 1984. His games grew to be so popular at local bars, he quit his day job and opened a factory to start mass producing them, most notably the Liberty Bell machines in 1899. A lot of the functionality from that early game remained in place through much of the 20th century. Watch this video to see the seven mechanical actions set into motion when you pull back the bandit’s arm. The inner workings are probably a little more complex than you expect.

Given that a lot of old slot machines are hand built, it isn’t surprising that coins can get jammed on their way through the mechanism. Big warning: If your machine jams, don’t force the arm or you can break, twist or damage a part inside. Different models and makes tend to have common jam points. The Mills model shown in the above video can have coins stuck in the “elevator” section that displays the last five coins dropped into the machine. Getting the slot working again can be as simple as cleaning the gunk off of an old part. You just need to be smart when you’re disassembling and reassembling the machinery.

Okay, there are plenty of more places where a coin can get stuck and the above video demonstrates how to fix a variety of jams. It also explains how to disassemble the major parts of the machine and where common problem areas are.

Curious how an antique slot machine knows how much money a winner gets? This video shows the punch-card like communication that trips payouts and how. If you ever need to replace the reel symbols or calibrate the machine you’ll need to understand how these work. Even if you don’t ever plan on owning a machine, the metallic “circuitry” is interesting to see.

Want to own a modern slot machine? New ones have plenty more bells, whistles and dings, and also a lot more advanced parts. If you plan on getting one, you may want to have an idea of what’s inside. In addition to the classic reels, there are speakers, motherboards filled with programming chips and plenty of wires. Unless you have a way with a soldering iron you probably won’t try and fix it. But in case you do, here’s a clip from Discovery showing what’s inside.

Did you know newer slot machines are smart enough to test themselves when a problem happens? This video shows you the procedure for having the machine check its own system. The host’s desert dry delivery is also enough to make this vid worth a watch.

Playing Aloha Island

There are 50 win lines for this game, which are fixed. You can bet from 1c through to $10 per line for a wide spin range of 50c up to $500.

5 of the wild symbols (a logo saying Aloha Wild) will pay 100x your total stake. These symbols do come stacked, with an entire reel wild each time, as well as individually on the reels. Sometimes you will get lucky combinations of many wins covering different win lines. The parrot comes next on the prizes list, this one is worth 20x your total bet for 5 (all symbols pay from 3+ on the reels). The boat and then the different fish follow this.

I will admit to being a little disappointed the first time that ‘5 free games’ came up on the screen. This is low by the standards of most slots, and I had waited a while to get there. Fortunately, there is a little more to it than just 5 spins.

First you go to a new set of reels with a darker background and a count-down on top of the reels. The spins then cycle through (complete with cheerful music) and your wins accumulate as you go. The twist in this game is that you get an extra free spin every time you see one of the bonus icons anywhere on the reels. These were reasonably frequent for me, turning the 5 starting spins into 12 or 13 each time. In addition, you will keep the wild reel system from the main game – giving you a shot at adding up some decent wins.

After the bonus spins end, the screen fills with flowers again, and you’ll find yourself back in the main game.
