Mills Hi Top 4 Reel: Which Horseshoe?

I recently purchased a Mills Hi Top 4 reel machine. It's clearly a casino machine from Nevada, and has the bar on the front proclaiming "Horseshoe". I've had it up for sale on CL and eBay mentioning that I think it came from the Horseshoe in Reno. However, it might have come from Binion's Horseshoe in Las Vegas. I've checked with some of my fellow Reno experts and none of us can remember for certain if the Reno Horseshoe used Mills Hi Tops. I seem to recall that all of their machines were Pace, but it's possible that they had some Mills machines before my time. I am not familiar with Binion's slot history at all.

Can anyone pin this down to either Horseshoe (Vegas or Reno)?

I think the "Joe" named on the front display is likely this one:

Thanks, that sounds like it.

Might anyone hazard a guess as how unusual this machine might be? Might there be as many as the Jennings Buckaroo?
