This latest "ugly bugger from down under" (the machine, honest, I'm talking about the machine) seems to have had an interesting feature. The clock is marked "super-time" and there is a reference to "super time" on both the instruction card and the payout card. Wonder how it worked?

I know a lot of Ballys were rebuilt in Ireland, but this is ridiculous and this has to go in the 'Worst ever' section. A snip at only 600 Eu Know Wots

This Bryans machine should not be allowed to wear the badge "Elevenses." Maybe 1.1, but not 11.

I'll fight you for it then Mr PM,
I've had worse than this one to deal with!
The main problem with Bryans are the steel ball runners which corrode in sea air & lose their 'spring'. and go thin. Once the rust has been removed, there is often little left to replate.
Every piece of metal on this example will be corroded and the missing base suggests worm/rot damage.
Not for the faint hearted, I grant you

Is that some type of herpetic canker on his lip?

Why did you post a photo of BP holding a slot machine?

Another candidate for the most ugly. What always strikes me with these monsters is why would anyone WANT to play on it let alone why would the builder think they might?
This one is a real piece of work, I don't think it has anything good about it at all
If I had been Bell Fruit, I wouldn't want my name on it.

Nothing personal Widget, but I had to move Dime Charley here - Site Admin.
Does anyone have any idea what this is about? Makes no sense to me at all. It's out a horoscope machine.

Being used as a instant lottery machine
put in your 6d and if your card has one of the winning numbers you take it to the desk to claim your prize
Perhaps using the same folded crimped lucky number squares used in fairs.
Very nasty looking bandit

It's been a while since we had a candidate for ugliest slot - this has to be close (now that definitely is a "dagger handle".
(I couldn't find the usual post we put these in Mr P, can you move it for me please)

Wow, from what I can see 165 wins half a dollar.

"Dime Charley" looks like a repurposed vending machine from a gentleman's lavatory. The Roman looking machine is a plastic toy from the Caesars Palace gift shop.
