Pocket Full of Miracles (1961);
a Mills Black Cherry and a Mills Brown Front.

Anyone restoring a Brown Front should check out this movie (think SUBDUED, not bright and flashy).
You will note how it blends into the background in most scenes (except one where it is featured); this model probably intentionally selected so as not to distract from the actors.
Unless you were looking for it, you might not even notice it's there.

Midcoast Vintage wrote:ROWS OF PACE SLOTS, AND PLENTY OF OTHER GAMBLING EQUIPMENT.
1955 "5 AGAINST THE HOUSE".
LOTS OF SCENES FILMED INSIDE HAROLD'S CLUB.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048077/


Not only rows and rows of typical Pace machines of that vintage, but there's also a "jackpot" scene with a $1 Pace Piggyback! (1:11:55)

I believe the older gentleman who shows up at about 1:13:15 to ask if Guy Madison is having any luck with the slots-- and where the quarter machines are located-- is/was none other than Harold Smith Sr. himself, though I can find no corroborating indication of this on IMDb. He sure looks like the pictures in Smith's autobiography, "I Want to Quit Winners."

I believe you are right, Harold doing a "walk on with lines" would be a perk for him for using his club as a location shot!
A couple photo's below, one with Jimmy Durante the other on a deck of cards!

I only caught the last 10 minutes of this film, perhaps the first Film Noir, but there is a quick glimpse of a humpback (Daval?) trade stimulator.
As a woman walks into an all-night diner, she walks past the machine sitting on the counter.

A few years ago, I sold Fox Studios 24 Jennings J400 slot machines to be used as props.

They made the machines appear to operate in "Trouble at the El Royale"

Here's a scene with the machines in "operation".

Here's the stash I sold them:

No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GegSSWdWGpw

Scenes of a Mills Poinsettia starting at 9:25, revealing numbers instead of symbols on the reel strips. These British actors try way too hard to act and sound American, lapsing in and out of inscrutable, loutish accents, and all the while letting on that they really don't think too highly of us. The dialogue reminded me of a comment I'd read somewhere about how Englishmen regarded the US Army GI's stationed there during WWII: "They're overpaid, they're oversexed, and they're over HERE!"
