Hey all, I had picked up an E-series Bally a while back, an E-2214-22 to be exact, and I have since restored it. I have found very limited information on Aancient Slots, and I would like to know more since my machine is tagged with their name and also lists itself as being last serviced by Aancient in 1994. I can't find any information on my machine, and I'm quite curious to see what my machine may have looked like before all the sun fading. Hoping for a parts catalog from around 1994, I know that some people have held on to those. Thanks.

Aancient slots was a company in Las Vegas that used to buy machines, refurbish them and sell them to the home-based consumer market. It may be best to look at https://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php as they deal more with the electrical type machines. Also, a photo of the machine and serial tag might help.

I have an Aristocrat The Gambler slot machine with their tag on it. I also have a couple parts catalog from Ancient Slots.

Thanks, that's really helpful. My machine had apparently gone through a few owners before myself, first the parents of some guy who had it for about 25 years before they handed it over to their son. I found this out because the son had posted on NLG about the exact machine around 2020. Eventually it seems he sold it to some guy in SoCal and I bought it from him a couple years ago for $40. The machine is from 1987, I'll attach a photo of the machine and plates. I'd also love to see some of the parts catalogs that were mentioned, no pressure though of course.

I’ll get some pics later today for you.

Hi. i know Aancient slots were in vegas aroun 1995 till 2000 the fellow that own it was named RUDY. he bought and sold rerubished route machines

I totally forgot to get you those pictures, I’m sorry. I will make time today for sure.

Absolutely no problem man, no rush for photos. And thanks to all you guys that pointed me to NLG, I've been using that site for a few years now but never thought about how it would make since for them to have an electronic slots category, I'm getting closer to solving this mystery every day.

Aancient Slots besides publishing a catalog and having the retail store in Las Vegas also had a retail store in Lake Tahoe at one of the South Shore Casino/Hotels.

Here you go.
