Don Laughlin's
Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino's Antique Slot Department has been in the
business of repairing and restoring slot machines since 1989.
The Riverside
Resort receives these slot machines from customers all over North America.
Some wish to sell their machines, others are looking for repair work, or an
appraisal.
The restoration
process begins with each slot machine completely disassembled - cases
dismantled - down to the nut and bolt. Parts are bead blasted to new
condition - reassembled, lubricated, chromed and painted - and cases are
striped and stained. The finished slot is a restored dream collector piece.
In the United
States, each state has their own laws concerning the ownership of slot
machines. In most states where slot ownership is legal, there is a 7-day
waiting period before slot machines can be shipped.
If you are
interested in purchasing an antique slot machine,
please call Tom or Augie at The Riverside Resort at 702-298-2535 Ext. 5928.
