1930's Mills Slot Machine - Un-Bagged and How It Works!

- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2020
- On Episode 4 of BOM Reviews I reveal a vintage Mills Novelty Co. 25 cent slot machine from the 1930's. This model was called the Bursting Cherry, and you get to see how the all-mechanical machine operates. I also explain how owner/operators could adjust these to be tighter or looser in payouts.
See for yourself why these were so addicting - and are still today!

mechanical machines like this are amazing. Thank you for the video
One way they did rig slot machines back in the day was to put a plug on the reel stop cog so the stop arm could never land on a particular symbol. I used to work at a place in Denver Co. called Royal Bell Ltd, we restored old slot machines and I've seen that a few times while restoring old slot machines.
Great video!
Nice restoration!
You did a great job on it. 👍
That’s really interesting to read about. The only model I’m familiar with that had the second, center jackpot was called the Bursting Melon; most people had no idea the coins shown were supposed to represent a melon, and the model I’m showing, the Bursting Cherry, was derived from that. Yes, those payouts are super unusual. Sounds like you have a real gem.
thats so sick
I have an unusual early Mills War Eagle. It appears in every way of being original. It has been beautifully restored by a top restorer. Two things make it unusual and I assume rare. The first is that it is a 25 cent machine with no denomination 25 cent button. I had read long ago that this is an indication of one of their earliest War Eagles. It does have a very early serial number in the 2,000 range. The second is the payout and they are: 2 cherries with orange, plumb or bar, 2 payout. 2 cherries with bell or lemon, 3 payout. Oranges payout 7. Plumbs payout 11, bells payout 14 and bars payout 18 plus jackpot. I have never seen this payout before. Hopefully you can fill me in with Mills history of machines they released and their differences in the same model. This machines has the two windows--one for jackpot and the other reserve. It is not the later release with only the jackpot window showing.
Cool 👍
I have always been fascinated by these old tyme slot machines and always wanted to know how they worked. And how to rig them, as in an "Untouchables" episode when someone mentioned putting weights inside.
When you restored this (great job BTW!) were the paper straps ruined as well? How/Where would you get new ones?
It's pity, I would have liked to have seen more of it, even if it had been put together from several parts!
I subscribe to your channel because I hope more of it come. Until then, stay healthy and carry on like this!

I have the same cherry machine just in a dime machine. How do you reset the visible jackpot glass area mine doesn’t seem to be collecting the coins upfront where you can see them in the winning jackpot area? my friend hit the jackpot and it all cleared out now it doesn’t seem like they’re collecting.
Thought the paper note was going to say, subscribe.
I have nickle mills slot machine however it wont payout. It is in working order. How can i fix this?
Just to make this people are so clever.
how do these function if it becomes full of quarters?
It has a cash box and responds the way any vending machine would function if it became "full of quarters". The box would fill up and eventually they would just pile up on top of it.
I wish i could be in a basement fire.
Do you know what the odds are of this machine? Like on 100 bucks spend how much does it pay back out? And i'm also interesting to know how they mechanically rigged this machine to have unfair odds. Because the wheels can not spin randomly, there much be something that makes the combinations.
7:33 Today's slot machines are NOT rigged. Each spin of every reel in every game is totally random, just like the mechanical ones. The machines make money because the odds of winning are stacked against you.
from what i read, some of them are because they won't let you win until a certain number of rolls are made. which is essentially rigged and not truly random
@@chocolatecoveredgummybears You are right because in some countries in Europe they are designed to make the machine money but not necessarily to to make the player lose. In England the machines can be programed to take a percentage of what gets put in.
@@varrjames186 yeah that seems something i wouldn't want to play tbh. it's not truly random then it's just waiting for xx amount of money to be put in. i think if it's like that, the player has better chances playing 1 play per every slot machine the casino lol
