Hi gang,

Awhile ago, I bought a neat old slot machine (a Bally's old school style, not skill stop or pachinko) and can't wait to start using it in my gameroom, but I don't have anything to put it on to give it a nice practical height.

I don't have room for just a table, I'm looking for a stand, or pedestal or whatever that will raise the machine up to a good height for playing, but not take up much additional width and depth than the machine itself. I suppose, just like in the casinos.

My machine (See photo) is 16" width x 18" deep x 27" height (plus attendant light on top)


Does anyone know where I can buy a used one or have any ideas?

Thanks so much.

I forgot to add two important things.

1) I am not handy at building things, so I am looking for a pre-made solution.

2) I would like the slot machine's height to be for someone standing up while playing it in my gameroom. I don't have room for a chair in front of it (too many other games in the room '<img'> )

Thanks,
'kito

Kito,
Have you checked into having a machine shop build one?

Well Kito, If you want, I could store it in my house on a stand for you, and if you ever wanted to play it, I'd let you in '<img'>

If you want to stand in front of it, I would guess the dials should be eye level. Use that info when selecting the stand height. When you say not very handy at building things, is that nothing complicated, or not wanting to attempt. I would think something could be made easily out of a few 2x4's and a small piece of plywood, and a can of black spraypaint.

Check out garage sales for a iron fish aquarium stand. Or your local pet shop. I got mine at walmart.

Kito, when I was young my father had a company called
Slots-O-Toys. We mostly delt in slots, poker machines, Blackjack tables, Jukes, and Coke machines. You want the reals to be eye level when you are sitting on a 30 or 34 inch bar stool. If you type in slot machine stand into the internet you should find some places that sell them. Or if you have a gameroom supply company close to you they should have them. They are expensive but you need something that is either really sturdy or made for a slot machine. They are heavy and it is possible to pull it over onto you if it's footprint isn't big enough.

Seriously, have you looked at a Pool-O-Rama type store (around here we have American Sale stores).  These are the places that sell swimming pools, party lights and other party supplies including the Japanese slots.  I think they also sell stands.
