With a relatively small investment of less than $50,000 you
can develop a quarter pusher route that provides you with a good retirement
income month after month and for years to come.
Many people are already doing it and you can, too. Here is how.</div>
<div class="Standard">
Quarter pushers
cost about $1300 each for the best quality machines. It is important that you
only buy high quality new machines so that you do not experience outages or
repairs. If you purchase thirty machines
they will cost you about $40,000 with shipping. You will also need coin
counters and equipment for counting and bagging the coins for deposit, which
will cost you about another $1,000. Industry averages show that a quarter pusher machine will
generate about $200 a week in profits, with some operators even earning as much
as $1,000 a week in a good location. To be conservative I will estimate on the
low side and say that your thirty machines will average $100 a week which will
be split 50/50 with the location owner.
This will leave you with a net
profit of $50 a week per machine, so multiplied by your 30 machines, this will
give you $1,500 per week or $78,000 a year. Remember that this is a “low end”
estimate, so you could easily do much better than that.</div>
<div class="Standard">
Finding locations
for your thirty machines is not as difficult as you might think. All a shop
owner needs is about 10 square feet of empty space in which to place the
quarter pusher, which can then lead to earning
a cash profit every week with no investment. The best locations are
laundromats, convenience stores, truck stops, diners, liquor stores, tobacco
shops, pizza shops or any other places where people gather. You simply offer to
install a machine on a trial basis with no obligation and once the profits
start rolling in, the location owner will be happy to let the machine stay.
There are professional locator services available to secure locations for you
(for a fee) if you are not comfortable finding them yourself.</div>
<br />
<div class="Standard">
Once the machines
are placed, all you need to do is visit each location weekly and split the
quarters in the machine's catch bucket with the location owner. The catch
bucket is a large plastic tub in the bottom of the machine that catches your
profits as they drop from the movable tray.
Thirty machines is a manageable route and collections will take about 2
days a week, depending on the size of the geographic area. It is a great retirement
income for a small investment in time and money. Check out our full line of <a href="http://slotsdirect.com/standardpush.html">Quarter Pusher Machines</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://slotsdirect.com/quarterpush.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRyRC0oN1f-23ea6mr9TKbg2awybu8qO1TheGyYw456B4UJLEr-T0zX9SKwyNsljtk2GyPgxWyE_fJowStbOwGCu6JXGNMZ-oz_SNF7HAuunMd1at96tT5kaUdtWzGCHgk9Fmrww/s320/bonus_hole_sd.jpg" width="243" /></a></div>
consider them. They are good profit
generators that require very little floor space. If you operate a convenience
store, Laundromat, tavern, liquor store, restaurant, truck stop or any other
business where there is good foot traffic then you are a potential location.
You could possibly pay your monthly rent or mortgage with one or two of these
machines.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Here are some factors to consider:</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The machines need to be in a secure location
where they can be seen by store personnel. This is to prevent tampering or
cheating such as shaking the machine. Almost all machines sold have an audible
alarm and a trap door to prevent coins from being shaken out but for the alarm
to be effective there needs to be an employee present to hear it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">They need to be legal to operate in your
location. Some areas are fine but some have restrictions. You can check with
local authorities to find out what, if any, restrictions exist in your area.
The most common restriction is that you may not be able to play real coins or
pay out real coins. In that case you would be able to use tokens instead of
coins. You can exchange the winner’s tokens for trade or small gifts instead of
cash. You could also load up the playing field with “bait” such as gift cards,
watches or MP3 players.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The machines need a floor space of about three
feet wide and two feet deep. The location should be visible to store personnel
and also easily seen by potential customers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol; text-indent: -0.25in;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Change or token availability should be easy and
convenient. You should have a change machine or token dispenser mounted in the
machine or on the wall near the machine. If the player runs out of coins you
want it to be convenient for them to get more coins and continue playing.</span></li>
</ul>
<!--[if !supportLists]--><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->To buy or not to buy? You can buy your machine
or if you do not want to make a big cash investment you can have an operator
install your machine for free in exchange for a share of the profits. Typically
the profit is split 50/50 between the location owner and the operator. To find
a local operator just check with vending companies in your area. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you decide to buy a machine you should avoid used
machines. Buy a new machine from a reputable dealer with at least a one year
warranty. You can find a dealer through the internet by using a search engine
such as Google. Expect to pay between $1200 and $2000 depending on features,
options and the quality of the machine. These machines provide a great return
for a small investment of money and floor space. In today’s economy you need
all the help you can get. Check out our <a href="http://slotsdirect.com/quarterpush.html">Coin Pusher Machines</a></div>

This is especially true when buying an antique slot machine. It is easy to get caught up in the moment at a yard sale, an auction or an antique shop. You see an old slot machine and you just have to have it for your “man cave”. If you are not careful you will be buying a major headache.Here are some tips that you must follow if you want to protect your hard-earned money.<br />
First, if at all possible, consult an expert and educate yourself. There are several good and reputable sites on the internet that sell antique slot machines. These sites have videos that will show you what to look for when buying a machine. They will also tell you exactly what to avoid.<br />
Second, decide between a genuine antique or a re-manufactured machine. A re-manufactured machine might be best for you if you are buying a machine that you want to actually play and not have as just a showpiece or investment machine. A “re-manufactured” machine is a machine that looks like a brand new machine. In most cases the outside castings and the wood are all brand-new. The mechanical parts of the machine are from an original machine but have been completely re-worked. The advantage of these machines is that they look beautiful and they are able to be played daily where a real antique machine would be too fragile to be played too much. The disadvantage is that the re-manufactured machines will not appreciate in value like an antique machine. In many cases a re-manufatured machine is a much better choice for you.<br />
Third, be careful where you buy or from whom you buy. Avoid buying at a yard sale or flea market. This is where the real junk normally ends up. An estate sale can produce some great machines if the original owner was a collector. Machines purchased at auctions can also be fraught with problems, unless you can get an expert opinion on the machine before bidding. If you want to buy from eBay you will need to check the feedback of the seller and also only buy from a seller that accepts PayPal. This will protect you in case the item is not as described. If a seller does not accept PayPal, steer clear of him. There are also some very reputable websites that sell antique slots. These are larger dealers who can be found on Google. Always deal with a site that takes credit cards, pay with a credit card (not a debit card) and you will be protected. <br />
Fourth, do not over-pay . Research prices online. Look at eBay and see what similar machines have sold for. You can easily search prior sales on eBay . Also search the web for the machine you are interested in. You will probably find several sites selling similar machines. Be aware that condition is everything. Unrestored antique machines in original condition are worth more than restored ones.<br />
If you follow these steps you will be able to acquire the machine you want at a fair price and avoid being disappointed.

Yes there may be a way to stay open. North Carolina Internet Sweepstakes and Pot of Gold 8 Liner Parlor owners might have discovered a loophole in the law that allows them to stay open. It was first reported in the <a href="http://www.hickoryrecord.com/news/article_03b3bce4-5c44-11e2-b3f5-0019bb30f31a.html" target="_blank">Hickory Record</a> that the "look Ahead" or "Reveal" feature on some games might make them Legal to operate in North Carolina. The <a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/skillelderado.html" target="_blank">Skill Eldorado</a> 8 liner game board (sold by <a href="http://slotsdirect.com/">Slotsdirect.com</a>) actually allows the player to reveal the results BEFORE he places his bet. This gimmick makes the games non-gambling games since the player knows the outcome before he places his wager. Any Cherry Master or 8 Liner game can be retro-fitted with the new <a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/skillelderado.html" target="_blank">Skill Eldorado</a> board. Bruce Mitchell, owner of <a href="http://slotsdirect.com/">Slotsdirect.com</a> is quoted as saying he expects a big demand in North Carolina for the new <a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/skillelderado.html" target="_blank">Skill Eldorado</a> boards.<br />

The Attorney General has not commented on the new games yet and the legal status has not yet been tested. This might be a way to stay open and stay legal. What happens next remains to be seen.

<h4>
Do you have a Cherry Master, 8 Liner or Pot of Gold game cabinet that needs to be converted from CRT to LCD display ?</h4>
<div>
If your CRT Picture tube type monitor goes bad in an older game cabinet and needs to be replaced, you will need to convert it to a new LCD Flat Panel monitor. This is because they no longer manufacture the CRT monitors. You can only buy LCD monitors. But don't worry because it is fairly easy to convert your cabinet to accept the new LCD monitor. We sell you all the parts needed to make the conversion at <a href="http://slotsdirect.com/">Slotsdirect.com</a> and we have the full <a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/convertlcd.html" target="_blank">LCD monitor conversion instructions</a> available. So don't throw that old cabinet away. Convert your cabinet CRT to LCD flat panel, it is easier than you think.</div>

At least nine sweepstakes cafes are in the sheriff's jurisdiction.Meanwhile, Fayetteville police plan to enforce the provisions of the ban that have been found constitutional by two Superior Court judges in the state, according to Police Department lawyer Patricia Bradley.Gambling cafes in the Fayetteville area have installed new games in an effort to remain legal after North Carolina's latest attempt to put them out of business.<br />Yet This summer, at least 36 cafes were operating in the city limits. Some have closed since the Dec. 1 ban took effect, and it's not clear how many are still in business.<br />One of the judges ruled that one sentence in the sweepstakes ban, from a section legally defining the games, is written too broadly and violates the U.S. Constitution's free speech provision.<br />The state is asking the N.C. Court of Appeals to overturn that judge's ruling and has advised police agencies to enforce only the part of the law ruled constitutional.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037012510760979067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604901.post-1545490316756312132010-10-28T17:00:00.000-07:002010-10-28T17:05:34.988-07:00New SLOT Machines are Now in<a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/pachislo.html"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 131px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533252209608336370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKHI0WVeskecH6TApF35l8XUIOYi00UySl0vd5jqigxb8XxNVfNf87o-meLrXVfYAmDWb8VP4-wL7UemzLlXn837C4ItpvHZshQEetbFu3fh2fnqNHpbCDQsMc4oyk03KZ9fSAhw/s200/pow_med.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/pachislo.html"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 122px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533252054325557842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrzhXVyJd6mv7ubPeauDwXvoUnZYXocA1h7RRcr_a-_Q1G-rZ1XJHzjWtDKehpoEynhA1DFSeqKS5q3br0DOP99dRRI8Ku6X_4555eM2iwe28rqRru-bUx4ioVboWPGXtL5TUulA/s200/firefighter_med.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Announcing two new Exciting Skill Stop Pachislo Slot Machines.

The move would end decades of a shadowy, illegal existence for that form of gambling. If enacted, this law would mark the second major expansion of legalized gambling in Pennsylvania in five years, following the 2004 vote to legalize slots casinos.<br /><br />The administration wants to use millions of dollars of anticipated video poker revenue to help students attending the 14 state-owned universities, including Bloomsburg and East Stroudsburg in Northeast Pennsylvania, and community colleges, starting this fall if state lawmakers approve.<br /><br />Officials say an expansion of tuition aid is needed to help students and families cope with job layoffs and stock market losses in recent months.</span><br /><br /> <div id="instory"><!-- AdSys ad not found for news/local_news:m9 --></div> <span>The plan, outlined prior to Gov. Ed Rendell’s annual budget address today, would target students whose family income is less than $100,000. They would be eligible for up to $7,600 annually for tuition, books, fees and room and board.<br /><br />“Legalizing this form of entertainment will generate more than half a billion dollars annually to support the tuition relief plan,” said acting state Revenue Secretary Stephen Stetler.<br /><br />Each licensed establishment would be able to install up to five machines. There are some 11,000 bars and restaurants and 3,000 private social clubs with liquor licenses in Pennsylvania.<br /><br />Under the proposal, the Revenue Department would issue licenses to establishments as well as machine manufacturing and distribution licenses to companies. The state would tax 50 percent of net profits from the video poker machines.<br /><br />State Police Commissioner Frank Pawlowski took a practical view of the proposal, saying it would enable the state to obtain revenue from an estimated 17,000 video poker machines being operated illegally.<br /><br />The proposal is offered against a backdrop where bars and taverns want help to offset the loss of customers from the state indoor smoking ban, tough drunk driving laws and competition from the slots casinos.<br /><br />“With the economy, the smoking ban and the .08 percent blood alcohol limit, we need this to exist,” said Amy Christie, director of the Pennsylvania Tavern Association.<br /><br />While Republican senators favor expanding tuition aid, they are leery of underwriting it with video-poker revenue.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037012510760979067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604901.post-16374506931003467352009-02-03T05:45:00.000-08:002009-02-03T05:51:46.627-08:00New President Obama Slot Machine available<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.slotsdirect.com/Trademark/obama.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1eEp2WtVY_0NBjnKyn7qbS36Ulw7VzlAXAp46I-n79Jmdu9fihnFHPgC_YMER1tD9WtQF6jL1-QNeVTLwUpmBZ8JnizWwed2uxIA1qvKEOcmK0xaH9Bct2BEp1rlUN7T8gaIYA/s320/14-obama.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298567373205591442" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">President Obama inaugural Slot Machine</span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">We now have available limited quantities of the Barack Obama slot machine.

Even though slots and video poker are members of the same family (electronic gaming devices), efforts by manufacturers to combine elements of the games have proven challenging.<br />The new wave of electronic touch-screen table games is regarded to have the potential to attract dedicated slot players, but the main focus remains the highly specialized video poker segment as a means to expand the horizons of slot players.<br />Video poker players are a dedicated lot who really don't want the manufacturers messing around with their game. With an element of skill, just give them a good selection of games with solid pay tables and they're content.<br />Slot players, on the other hand, not only like to win money, they want to be entertained with the base games and second screen bonus rounds.<br />The ideal compromise would seem to be a combination of an established video poker format with a popular element of slot play. International Game Technology appears to have accomplished just that with Wheel Poker.<br />Wheel Poker is a union of the best IGT slot machines and video poker. The base game is available in Triple Play and Five Play options with seven game families (Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, etc.) from which to choose.<br />The distinctive component is the top box "wheel" which resembles the wheel-based theme games for which IGT is famous. Players get the opportunity to activate a wheel spin for bonus credits every time they are dealt or draw to any four-of-a-kind. Each spin rewards the player anywhere from 100 to 2,000 credits.<br />Two $1 Wheel Poker games were added to the slot floor at Harrah's Joliet, but they recently were converted to quarter denomination. The game requires a wager of six coins per hand to be eligible for the Wheel Poker bonus. The sixth coin actually funds the bonus aspect of the game, which leaves the standard pay tables unaffected.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037012510760979067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604901.post-83398787072876595552008-02-11T06:42:00.000-08:002008-02-11T06:45:37.921-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsASYnydfXAfS-Qc4UZZrKna_rV7lSfF6CT-5smt5uH43bUhUL0sP9lv5ZShkEkKjSIuWRcey-t2GSCcmvpzP34OZUGiM5l97rC5JuIPGY6SwaVNcKoF0QUSof5065K8i8S63YrA/s1600-h/gamemax700_colorsm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165733211691418818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsASYnydfXAfS-Qc4UZZrKna_rV7lSfF6CT-5smt5uH43bUhUL0sP9lv5ZShkEkKjSIuWRcey-t2GSCcmvpzP34OZUGiM5l97rC5JuIPGY6SwaVNcKoF0QUSof5065K8i8S63YrA/s200/gamemax700_colorsm.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>Be ready for the new US $5 bills coming March 2008</strong><br /><div> </div><div>NEW US $5 bills that are going to be released to the public March 2008.

Orville Erickson hit a $2.98 million jackpot on a nickel slot machine Saturday at the Dakota Magic Casino near Hankinson. Slots manager Darrell Mireau said it was the largest jackpot in the casino's 11-year history. "I still can't hardly believe it," Orville Erickson, 63, said Monday from the couple's farm a mile north of Forman. Erickson and a friend were in Fargo on Saturday to get material to build a new ice fishing house when he got the call from his wife, who had returned from a family gathering in New Rockford. "I had actually been to a casino there at Devils Lake," she said, "and I was home about an hour, and I thought, 'Gee, we should go to Hankinson tonight.' And then I thought, 'Well, that's kind of dumb, I was just at a casino' But I just had a feeling." Her husband said he was feeling lucky, too. He said he usually puts $20 into the Marilyn Monroe MegaJackpot machine, a 75-nickel progressive slot machine with a starting jackpot of $400,000. Saturday, he stuck a $100 bill in the machine, planning to play $20 whether he won or lost, he said. The machine paid out about $75 before he pushed the button around 11:30 p.m. and the "Diamond Cinema Jackpot" symbols aligned, he said. "I was just playing along, and all of a sudden it went black and said 'hand-played jackpot,' " he said. "It was just dead quiet, no whistles or anything. "I stood up and said, 'No way, I don't believe this.' " Dorothea Erickson, 58, was about six machines away when an acquaintance told her she'd better talk to her husband. "And I said, 'How come?' And he said, 'Well, he just won $2.98 million.' And I said, 'Yeah, right,' " she recalled. The casino booked the couple into a suite while officials verified the jackpot, which took until about 6:30 a.m., Orville Erickson said. "We got about a half-hour of sleep," he said. The casino presented the Ericksons with a check for $141,950 -- the first of 21 installments over 20 years, unless they choose to take the one-time payment. On Monday, they were still considering that option. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037012510760979067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604901.post-81254505378543479722007-10-19T17:17:00.000-07:002007-10-19T17:43:04.995-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;">Slotsdirect named distributor for JVL Touchscreen Gaming products.</span> Yes now you can buy JVL touchscreen games factory direct from Slotsdirect.
