I recently purchased a Vendet Midget and noticed there wasn't too much information on them that I could find.

This may or may not be useful to some
But thought i'll do a little information on The Vendet midget

"The MIDGET is a machine with a wealth of his-tory , albeit short. It was created in Chicago in 1931
as a two reel-not regular three reel-miniature Bell
machine with an automatic payout"

I believe it held the tittle of the smallest payout slot machine for just a few months until The Baby Grand by C&F came out.

Even know its a small machine, it can hold roughly 65 Coins in its coin tube.

It's got 2 reels with 37 Per Reel both reels are nearly exactly the same with just one difference

Reel 1. Reel 2
14 Cherry. 14 Cherry
9 Oranges. 9 Oranges
6 Lemon. 7 Lemons
2 JP. 1 JP
4 Watermelon. 4 Watermelon
2 Bells. 2 Bells



Payout:
Cherry 2 Coins
Orange 5 Coins
Watermelon 10 Coins
Bell 15 coins
JP. 20 coins plus window.




So if my maths is right( big if, never done this before)

Odds per spin for each double symbol.
Cherry 37.8%
Orange 24.3%
Lemon 17.4%
Watermelon 10.8
Bell 0.05%
JP 0.04%

For a small machine it's greedy that's for sure.

Some photos next to The Baby grand and Mills vest pocket.
Then next to Caillie 4 Reel Grand prize

Very interesting comparisons!

If you can get a copy of Slot-Box magazine, May- June 1992, it has an interesting little article about the Midget and Pony by Marshall Fey.
