Re: James Roller

All things collectible go through cycles of popularity. We seem to be in a stage where some of the giants of coin op, Ken Rubins and James Roller for example, are now passing away. It begs the question whether the up-coming generation will have the passion for our hobby as did the previous one ...

Re: A bit of Nostalgia

We were tougher back then, more resilient. Today's youth is more likely to suffer a thumb injury from too much time on the game console or depression from some mean comment on their social media.

Re: Bonjour de France

I challenge anyone to name another internet group that would take the time to help a fellow sort out problems with his slot machine, all the while translating the individual's questions from French to English. PennyMachines is unique in many ways but the knowledge and generosity of its members makes ...

Re: We are all going to be rich!
