This web site is devoted to those glorious vintageslot machines in the seaside penny arcades of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Mostof these amusement machines were purely mechanical in operation. Youwould put your penny in the slot, and either pull a handle, or shoot a ballaround a track, in the hope of winning more pennies to put in more slot machines. The object was not monetary gain, as you knew that you would eventuallyput all the pennies back in the slot machines. The object was to stayin the arcade playing on the machines for as long as possible before thepennies ran out! In those days, a £1 note would buy you 240 extremelylarge pennies, which could barely be carried in two trouser pockets, andwould sometimes keep you playing on the machines for days!

For many, the fascination of these machines wasnot in the thrill of the winning; but in the operation of the machine itselfwith its various, and often ingenious, mechanical functions. Most vintageslot machine enthusiasts have no interest in today's arcades, full of electronicmachines where you just stand in front of a video screen and press buttons. Consequently, those old mechanical slot machines have now become highlycollectable.

This web site concentrates mainly on the machines that could be foundin British arcades. These differed markedly from the type found inAmerica, due to the different legislation in these countries. Britishmachines were usually 'Amusement' machines, whilst the majority of Americanmachines were 'Gambling' machines. What's the difference? Well,to put it simply, Gambling Machines are games of chance, whereas Amusementmachines are games of skill.

According to British law up until 1960, a machine had to involve anelement of skill if it paid out a reward. Consequently British machinestook the form of games of skill (such as ball games, cranes, shooting games,etc.) or non-payout types (such as fortune tellers, viewers, juke boxes,working models, pintables, etc.).

I am always interested in hearing from fellow British collectors, particularlyif you can supply any additional information for these pages, or photographsof interesting slot machines.

This is a site about British slot machines. Please do notemail me with questions about American slot machines. I don't knowanything about them!
