I have been in discussion with the folks selling the Harrah's collection for months.
No need to go into all the details but I was notified yesterday that they are taking offers on individual machines and also the entire collection. The only people who will be getting the information to bid will be the people who have inspected the machines. This is a very small number of people.
I flew out to Vegas last week and spent the entire day inspecting the machines. Many of the machines were not unlocked which is really unfortunate because I could not inspect them. I was told before I went out that all machines would be opened up.
The machines in the collection include a Caille Roulette, Midget Derby (only one known to exist), some Caille Double uprights, several Caille single uprights (Centaurs, 45, Eclipses, etc.)
I have uploaded a YouTube video of some of the machines that are available.
I have a ton of photos of the machines and also many videos of the machines which I can make available to the folks who contact me. I also have a lot of information about the condition of the machines (many have issues).
If you are interested in any of the machines and possibly bundling your offer with mine then you need to contact me ASAP. I have been told that the offer needs to go in Sunday night. The higher my offer the more likely I/we will get them. I am not looking to profit from the machines that you are interested in.
If you are interested send an email to Dave@IBuyOldSlots.com
I am only interested in talking to serious people and people willing to offer a "reasonable" price. Not those wanting to steal a Caille Roulette for $10,000 because putting in a super lowball offer on a machine would just hurt the chances of getting the deal.
