Mills and I guess other slot makers sent their machines to other countries. Does anyone know the payouts of those machines and if they are different than the payouts for the US machines?

I had a machine out of the UK years ago, and it was limited to a 10 coin payout per local law/rules. But I don't know if that applied to all machines in all sections of the UK. Our international collectors should be able to shed some additional light on this question.

UK machines in the 50's were usually limited to 1 shilling max payout. 1 shilling was 12 old pennies, so payouts were 2/4/6/8/10/12
The 10 coin payout came after decimation in 1971.

Thanks for the posts. The reason I asked is because I have a 1931 War Eagle with an early serial number that has been completely looked over and is totally original. It pays out, 2,3,7,11,14 and 18 on bars. The award card shows these payouts. Not too long ago I saw a 1930 Mills machine that said that it paid out most often one coin less than the 2,4,8,12,16 and 20 on bars. My machine will pay out an extra coin once in awhile but almost always the payouts are what I stated and what the award card states. Mysteries, mysteries!
