This was one of those spur of the moment buys. My wife always said that she wanted a slot machine but never thought she would get one.

Both me and my wife saw this machine at a local sporting goods store called Galyans. I played it while she shopped. She didn't show any interest in it.

A few days later i decided to get it for her for Christmas. I had the store hold it for me while they repaired the coin mech and I bought it for $299. It came with printed out instructions and keys.

The machine is not in perfect shape. there are a few dings and marks here and there. It was completely shopped out before I bought it so I haven't needed to perform any work on it other than clear a coin jam or two.

As the story goes Japan has a law that says casinos have to swap out their slot machines every two years for economic reasons. They are then left with all these two year old machines that they can't use. A few American companies started importing and selling them to the general public.
