This one is probably worth it not that I have 100k clams to toss about. I saw similar at Ms. Rau (New Orleans) at one time for 160k
https://rauantiques.com/

If you happen to be in the area - this store is the closest thing to a museum except everything is for sale.
They have/had jewelry worn on stage by Prince, Elton John. Princess Dianna.  Its well worth your time.
Even the web site is worth a browse - its not your grandmas living room.

I didn't realize what these machines were worth. I just discovered that a slot just like it sold at auction in 2017 for $420,000.

Just a boring bit of Trivia -

The very first slot machine invented was in 1895, in San Francisco, by a Bavarian immigrant named Charles Fey.  It was like the one pictured above but had a single wheel.  Four years later in 1899, Fey came out with the first three reel device that operated by inserting a coin and pulling an arm. Fey named it the Liberty Bell and it was the forerunner of the reeled slot machines we see today.

Back then the law did not allow one to patent a gambling device so Fey refused to sell his machines out of fear that someone might reverse engineer it and go into competition with him. Instead, he put them in bars around San Francisco but kept the only key.  Fey would then go from bar to bar, open the machines and split the proceeds with the house.

All was fine until the Great 1906 Earthquake which destroyed much of San Francisco. Fey went from bar to bar, removing his machines or what was left of them from the wreckage.  He retrieved all but one, which was mysteriously missing from a place on Market Street.  On the one year anniversary of the earthquake, the Mills Machine Company of Oakland, California (across the bay from San Francisco) announced they would be selling the Mills Liberty Bell Slot Machine.  It was a reverse engineered, exact duplicate of Fey's Machine.  Now Fey knew what happened to his missing device.  Other manufacturers purchased the Mills machine, copied it and from there, companies like Jennings, Pace, etc., spring up. 127 years later you see what slot machines have evolved to today.

Excellent Review.
We were at the, if I can remember correctly, one month before the Fire at the MGM in Las Vegas, now Bally's. 
Down stairs at the very end was a shop selling Slots & various gaming devices.
They had a couple of the Single & Doubles back then. The Doubles were around $10,000.00.
They are a true Classic design.
Many years  ago an older gentleman in Denver had a garage full of antique Slots. In his Game Room he had a couple of Singles & one double. He said he use to have Slot Machines in Bars back in the 40's & 50's in Fairplay, Alma, & Breckenridge Colorado, just to name a few. I was able to play on the Singles & Double. They make some noise when played.
They were made to last for Centuries. Unlike the Plastic ones made today.
They are amazingly Beautiful Works of Art.
Didn't mean to ramble or steel any post.
It's not what you can afford to Buy?
It's what you can afford to keep!
