LAS VEGAS, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- A Las Vegas casino says keeping a few older slot machines, the one-armed bandits that take coins and make noise, has been profitable.
The Eastside Cannery replaced the Nevada Palace, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Palace, sited in an area that had become a strip of trailer
Jeannette White, 73, a Palace devotee, said she and her husband urged the Cannery to keep some of the old machines. The hotel did, and Marty Gross said when he became general manager last year he noticed a lot of people seemed to like the noise and excitement and not to mind getting their fingers blackened by handling grubby quarters.
"There's a small group -- bigger than we thought -- still playing these games," Gross said.
Gross converted one room to the old-style slots. He said it averages at least 70 percent full with people waiting for open machines on Friday nights.
