- Playing a turn of the century upright slot machine made by Caille Brothers. This is a Caille CENTAUR - playing nickels and allowing up to six (6) coins to be bet at one time. There are five colors to bet on (White, Green, Red, Black, Yellow) as well as the JACKPOT. Note that there are just 2 spaces on the wheel for the Jackpot - so winning it is a long shot! The machine features a backup jackpot filler that allows an operator to quickly re-load in the (unlikely) event of the jackpot being hit and emptied. This would keep the jackpot full and encourage people to bet on it.
I collect, buy, sell, trade and repair vintage coin operated machines like this. Grip and Strength test machines by Mercury, Atlas, Gottlieb as well as vintage Victorian casino antique gambling slot machines, poker machines, cigar store and saloon items made by Caille, Mills Novelty, Jennings, Watling. Trade stimulators made by ABT, Exhibit Supply. Also penny arcade machines, fortune teller, shocker shock machines vending machines and claw diggers by ABT, Mutoscope, Exhibit Supply (ESCO), Mike Munves. I particularly like early cast iron trade stimulator and slot machine items including ephemera related to this topic. If you have a vintage coin op or early gambling machine for sale or trade please contact me.

That’s a beautiful old machine, treasure it.
Amazing piece, many were featured as background settings on old western movies.
sadly not many survived, thus a very desirable piece.
why did it stop at totally different speeds the first and the second spin?
Back when they had class
My favorite!

Seems like a single-wheel mechanism would last longer due to it's simplicity. Did these need less maintenance than the traditional three reel machines? Easier to repair?
Stunning machine. I doubt the operators of today would be very happy with its long play cycle though or could this be adjusted to get more playthrough?
Hi Malcolm - good observation. Yes - the cycle could be adjusted to be shorter. One of the reasons I like to leave the long cycle is to let the wheel speed drop to almost a stop so-as to minimize wear to the outer wheel and stopper.
@@AwesomeCoinOp thanks for info, fascinating machine. I've got three German machines from 1950_60 and by law the play cycle had to be 15 seconds so people didn't gamble too much.
Hi John, what a beautiful machine. I have the same exact six coin machine in my basement. It looks like your's except my machine has 5 taller windows in the Jackpot window. It's in rough shape, that glass in the Jackpot window in broke and the wheel only makes a few spins then engage the stop mechanism. It needs some work, but I don't anyone in Detroit area that work on them. Any suggestions? I don't even know the value of the machine.
Feel free to email me with contact info and some photos and we can see see about getting it tuned up. Coinopgeek@gmail….
Would be interesting to know how random the wins would be...for returns to the Vender not the punter.
Can you call me Mike
