What Happens to Gaming Machines and Parts when Casinos no longer Need Them?
« on: August 27, 2021, 04:19:44 PM »
What happens to gaming machines when Casinos no longer have them on their floor?   Does the rules for disposal vary from state to state?  How do machines and parts make the journey from Casino to home use?  Do Gaming Companies that lease machines destroy them when the leases run out?  I would imagine that there are warehouses loaded with surplus gaming equipment somewhere.

I believe slot brokers buy from the casinos.Then the slot dealers buy from the brokers.And finally the public buys from the dealers.

I would imagine that the vast majority of slots that casinos dispose of, the cream of the crop, are exported to countries all over the world. There are many casinos that don't buy new. This is probably what happens to the best machines as I don't see them on our used market.

It’s possible. I do know that the Slot Machines are mostly returned. From there some may be shipped to different countries, and other could just be destroyed?

Most states send out bid sheets to dealers for what they have available for sale.

One example of where old machines go is LA Slot Machine Co.  They claim to be one of the largest gaming machine companies in the world, all used machines. They are located near the port of Long Beach and they ship 10,000 slots annually. They must be one of the brokers that deal direct with the casinos.

I might add that they will not sell to California residents unless the machine meets the 25 year old requirement. I would love to take a look in their warehouse.
