Bally? Identification help

Postby Megeara » Fri Nov 26, 2021 11:06 am

Hello,
I just received this slot machine, used to belong to my grandmother. My father believes they acquired it in the 1960's, if that is any help. I've searched all over it to find any sort of identification plate to no avail, and haven't been able to find any similar machines in my own internet searching. Any help is appreciated!

Looks like your machine is a Watling Big Game made in 1940 and is worth 600 to 800 dollars if it works properly Not many made.

Looks like you're right! The bally was throwing me off but someone must have just painted it. It works beautifully but I'd have to be very hard up to get rid of it; many childhood memories playing with this thing over at Grandma's
Thanks for the help!
