"Hit me" trade stimulator

[Denny]

Is it played reading the cards from left to right to make 21 or are the first 2 cards the house cards you play against? There's a utube video that shows the player playing the machine with the first 2 cards as the house you play against.

Thanks

I agree with you Sam. I've never gotten blackjack in the first 2 windows if the lucky card pops up then the count starts on the second window. Aces come up on the third, fourth, and fifth windows so you need to get the lucky card on the first window, face card on second then ace on third to hit blackjack. The way the guy played it on the video just didn't seem right I didn't see a house of dealers window.

Where did you get this photo from? I looked on eBay, and didn't see it. This looks like one of the Vegas Butcher redo's.
If it is, that is probably a recast jackpot. The repaint colors are not correct, and the reel strips appear to have been
changed, as those are not the style that came in this model, and will not have the 'Lucky Card' on the first reel.
I would definitely stay away from this offering. You say someone was playing it on a video. If it is who I think it is, he
has ended up with a lot of the Butchers stuff.

Hi Slot Dynasty,


I found that pic through a google search and posted it because i didnt have a pic of the machine at that time and the utube video was not a pierce hit me machine it was a Gretchen vender 21 machine my mistake but I believe it is played the same way. I heard the Gretchen company sued the pierce tool co. for patent rights making the hit me 21 machine short lived. Here's a pic of the hit me 21 machine I recently purchased. Is this the real thing?

Hi Denny:
You made a good purchase on your "Hit Me" machine. It is totally original, with all the correct
untouched paint colors. Even though there is some scratched areas in the paint, I would leave
it alone, as it would lessen it's value, if you were to repaint, or even touch-up with colors that
don't match perfectly. Your reel strips & award card are also nice originals. The entire case, is
also in excellent condition, including the back door, (which is often missing), and looks to have
the original lock. The inside is squeeky-clean as well. This machine does not appear that it had
been on location very long, (if at all). The only downside I see, is that someone has removed
the jackpot, and apparently misplaced it. It is held in place by a lock & key. You may want to
contact the seller, as it could be laying somewhere, and he didn't know what it was off of. If you
need a pix of the jackpot unit to send him, I can send one your way. By all means, DO NOT buy a
recast jackpot from the Vegas Butcher, as those are the Worst castings on the planet. It is best
to have it missing, than go that route, with a machine as nice as yours. There is also a very slim
chance that an original will turn up someday, or even a junker machine, that it can be robbed of.

Thanks Bill,
It's good to know its all original. Hopefully the previous will contact me if jackpot is found.

I understand a penny, nickel, dime and quarter can be used but if someone put a quarter in and gets blackjack does the bar owner pay in quarters? That will be 25 quarters ($6.26) plus whateverer is in the jackpot if you hit blackjack. The machine says 1 cent on the award card and will most likely take in pennies and nickels. I consider this a big loss if the machine takes in pennies and pays out in quarters because one was used. So which is it, payout in quarters or pennies.

It's up to the bartender !
Actually I'd bet it is what the award card says pays in one cent
just my 2 cents

My Hit Me is not a jack pot version, the award card has 1¢ on it, my The New Deal jack pot has a operator made up award card no denomination stated but inside the machine there was an envelop with records of how much the machine took in on a daily basis, he kept record of how many pennies, nickles, dimes and quarter the machine took in on a daily basis and a total on the bottom for each day, the machine took between $4.00 and $5.00 a day and quarters were used quite often, quite a money maker for the day unfortunately the month and year was no were to be found. An other interesting thing about this machine is that if you hit the jack pot when the jack pot was removed to pay the winner there was a picture of a topless woman hidden behind the jack pot for the winner to see, a very interesting find for me.

I would think that if a patron wanted to gamble with a coin other than a penny there would not be any objections from the operator and as far as the jack pot pay out I assume that what is in there is what you get.
