Jeff asked:


Now that casinos have gone coinless, and the slot machines print out tickets, are the coins collecting dust in bank vaults? Nobody seems to be using them.

The Fred asked:


I miss the sound of coins clanking in the payout tray. I miss the feel of real money. These slips of paper given out of the slot machine make gambling such a dull experience. I don’t play the slots anymore.

DesiDani asked:


What if they are sitting far away from you? What about when people want to talk to you while you are playing?
07: too funny thumbs up.
Bigslick:
Well do you mind when people stand over you and watch you at the tables? What about the people who comment on how you are playing?
Krypto: I’ve seen that happen.
I’ll extend this and then put it to vote. This question doesn’t really contain a right or wrong answer.

Do any of the major casinos in Las Vegas still use coin-operated slot machines?

Palmerpath asked:


On my recent trip to Vegas I noticed that nearly all the slot machines I saw were bill-or-credit slip operated, and only a minority still had pull handles.
I miss the older style slots, the pull of the handle and the clash of coins in the payout trays—have they all gone away?
Note—I know that some of the video poker games still have coin slots, but I’m talking about the traditional slot machines.
Progress is all very well, but we’re talking iconic Vegas memories here, folks.
Anyone know?
