There has never before been a published book of slot machine reel strip combination with complete payout statistics---until now. And what a book---nearly 300 total pages! 
The heart of the Handbook consists of over 200 computer-generated charts which mathematically analyze various combinations of old factory-standard reel strips. Also included are various old casino combinations and patched versions, requiring simple punching of the discs on the lemon symbols in order to raise the payout percentages. The range is from 10 to 38 stops, from two reels to four; it's all here! The charts completely list the symbols in order of appearance on the strips, give the manufacturer's identification number (when available), and give detailed, symbol-by-symbol payout percentages as well as overall payout percentages. 
With this book you will be able to establish a simple "Layout Code" for your machine's reel strips. This will permit you to quickly and easily look up this Layout Code in the Handbook and learn what you have probably already asked yourself: "What does it pay?" 
If you are mathematically inclined, there is a complete chapter on how to formulate equations for the computation of a slot machine's payout statistics. Other chapters explain how the charts were devised, with a detailed explanation, containing an example, on how to use the charts. 
This book is not for everyone. We recommend it for historians, collectors, enthusiasts and students. How about it . . . do you qualify?

If you're chasing slot machines, you need two things: an identification book and a price guide. Eighteen years of research is presented in this pocket-sized (4" x 7.5") price guide. Data has been obtained from many sources---sales, shows, auctions, collectors and dealers. This fourth edition contains alphabetical listings (by manufacturer) for nearly 2,850 slot machines and payout gambling devices from over 200 manufacturers---from 1893 to 1997. Each entry is accompanied by five prices, from brand new, out-of-the-box to clobbered and barely workable. In addition, nearly every entry includes the machine's known nicknames, date of introduction, rarity and other pertinent comments. 
This is the 1997-1998 edition. But slot machine values have been so stable the last five years, we don't foresee republishing this book until at least 2003.
