Hello Coin Op Collectors!
We have a fun looking Trade Vendor RotoLette machine.
The tag says.
Manufactured by Bally exclusively for Roto Distributing, Las Vegas, Nevada.
It's a 25 cent machine with 3 coin slots and three roulette wheels with 3 slots for tickets to come out of at the bottom.
It's a wood case and stands about 6 feet tall.
The number on the front tag is 1165.
While digging around on the internet, i discovered that the Clark County Heritage Museum in Henderson, NV had a machine that looked similar to this roto-lette of mine. . I sent an inquiry out to the museum to see if they had any more info on it. This is the reply i receiced:
"We do still have the machine in question in the museum collection, but have not found much on its manufacturer. We do know that they were used in the El Rancho Vegas in 1949, and that they were a post-World War II design."
Here is the nugget i found that led me to the Heritage Museum:
