The Bursting Cherry pays on a single cherry. The only ones I have ever seen that pay on a single cherry are the fakes.
I have never seen a legit BC with silver reel strips.
The Roman Head is interesting. The castings 'might be' original since I don't think anyone has recast the 50 cent castings. However, the case looks new and who knows what kind of mechanism is inside or if the jackpot is complete.
The Golden Nugget appears to have no escalator. The coins look like they are glued into place. In addition, I think the JP on the GN is not there. Probably just some sheet metal to hold coins in place.
All three appear to have the high top style handle that are on all the fake machines out there.
Interesting that the seller does not indicate how he came across these macines.
In my opinion, the current bid is way more than they are worth.
