Mills war eagle payouts.

[oldslotman]

Does anyone know if Mills had a war eagle with a 20 stop 2/4 payout? I know the early war eagles were 10 stop 2/4 payout but I just wonder if they did a 20 stop 2/4 pay. I know they did a 20 stop 3/5 payout.

Yes. I have a 20 stop 2/4 payout War Eagle. Serial 363,741 with side vender all original.

Thanks Flip, that is the third one I've seen so far and all machines appear to be original so Mills must have made a few machines with that set up. They might have been just using up the older 2/4 payout slides.

It wasn't a matter of necessarily using up old stock. You could order the slide pay out you wanted and the pay out odds you wanted the reel bundle to have. In the '30's, the 3/5 pay became more common but you could get 2/4 if you wanted it. Watling even offered a 3/10 pay out and I think Mills did also.

Thank you,I was under the impression that the 2/4 was just used on the 10 stop mech, but what you said does make a lot of sense and I guess gave the operators some options on the payouts and odds. Thanks.
