PAYOUT DICE SLOT MACHINE
BOOK REVIEW
.
The story of how Mills, Rockola,
Bally and Buckley developed a payout dice machine is finally available.
Dick Bueschel has pieced together the intriguing history for all to
appreciate. The story is all in Dick's book Payout Dice Machines.
When you think about it, the payout dice machine was probably the most
revolutionary automatic payout gambling device since the invention of the
three reel slot machine by Charles Fey in 1889. Yes, revolutionary because
it plays a complete game of craps, automatically. It never fails to follow
the rules. It accepts, records all bets and pays out all rewards without
human aid of any kind. It even uses real dice that are actually thrown onto
the playing field. The machine reads the dice, makes a payout if it is
earned, and then sweeps the dice off the field for the next play .
The Payout Dice Machine book is full of interesting tidbits of coin machine history.
For example, did you know that RockOla's experience with its payout dice
machine, the Black Magic, was responsible for it getting out of the slot
machine business and concentrating its efforts on jukeboxes.
The Payout Dice Machines book covers the early dice trade stimulators that eventually led
to the payout dice machines. The book discusses the Mills Crap Shooter, the
Fey OnThe Level and Automatic Dice Box, and the Mills On The Level. It
extensively covers all the payout dice machines, including the Western
Mysterious Eye, the RockOla Black Magic, the Mills Dice, the Bally Reliance
and the Buckley Bones. Fifteen different models of payout dice machines are
covered.
The book also includes the service manuals, detailed part charts,
and advertising literature that the companies published. It even includes a
price guide, in case you want to buy a payout dice machine for your
collection. The Payout Dice Machines book is a 116 page paperback book
This book is out of print.
