Quote: Slot machines paid out in coins until 1999 or 2000. I haven't been to Las Vegas since the mid 90s. Ah. Last casino I visited was on Lake Michigan in 1998, and they were already electronic—insert card to play, press a button. Although, it had an area with the classic "one armed bandit" slot machine that used quarter sized tokens. Quote: Don't worry about the photos right now, jbuck. Best of luck recuperating. Thank you.

Last time I went to Vegas was back in the 90's - nice manual slot machines - the slots were for COINS not cards back then. lovely noise when they paid out. Are you saying now that they pay to a card? where in the fun in that?

Amazing dedication to Ike
I read this and many of your other threads but I have not yet read why you're so focused on Ikes

Give a man a fishhook, and he will feed himself for a day. Strike a fishhook into an Eisenhower dollar, and he will collect Ikes forever. =P
