Hi y’all. I have the chance to purchase a Tavern slot machine. The first place I came was here, to see what y’all had to say. And dayumn y’all had a lot to say!!! It seems that this is a machine that has been often faked.
The machine I’m looking at has three vertical stripe things to the right of the award card (the side with the arm). They are mostly missing paint, except for faded red/orange in the middle one. The name-plate at the top has very faint traces ( very little) of a reddish paint. The award card lists three Lucky Strike packs at the top. There is no back, and the reels have Lucky Stripes glued on. It does not work.
This all seems right to me, judging from what I have read on here from a gentleman named Bill on the fakes page. But I’m still a little nervous? Is there anything else I should be looking for? I can’t even find good pictures online of an authentic original to compare it to.
Help please?
