I miss the sound of coins clanking in the payout tray. I miss the feel of real money. These slips of paper given out of the slot machine make gambling such a dull experience. I don't play the slots anymore.

I miss them too. Hell, I was depressed when I first saw that the machines have a button you can push instead of pulling the "arm."

I AGREE!!!
Even though I hate that the coins make your hands filthy, it was so much fun to hear the money coming down and having to get a bucket to put it in. The only casino that I know of the still has coins coming out of the machines in at the Tropicana.

I miss those machines too.
If you want to see them / play them .. you basically need to go to one of the older properties or somewhere downtown (such as the 4Q, Fremont, Main Street Station).
Many of the newer casinos have TITO's.
This means ticket-in-ticket-out. I'm like you, i like hearing the clang, clang. It's reminiscient of how vegas used to be, etc. The skyline here changes often. I know it.
The state bird is the steele-crane (mild humor).
I really didnt mind getting my hands dirty & carrying heavy metal back to the room, or across the street to the next casino. I think that the younger folks today just dont get the ole-time feel of las vegas (sigh). But, that's how it goes.

I agree. The thrill is gone. I think this change is not for the best. People dont want to gamble without real money. And what will they do with all the money cups now? Ha

Fred, I agree whole-heartedly. The thrill of hitting a jackpot will never be the same without the coins clinking in the tray!

No, I don't miss that sound- It's still around.
Well it is at the local Casino in Adelaide, South Australia.
The Burswood Casino in Perth, Western Australia has them too, last time I checked.
Maybe you need a holiday in Australia?

yes casinos do this now to save money, it takes a person to to empty the coins out,also to fill them up with coins, which means more money the casino has to pay out, you watch and see what s next, all the table games will be computerised and wont need a dealer

I could not agree more! I miss the times walking through the casino and hearing that "CLANG CLANG CLANG"-
I think there are a few places left in downtown Vegas that use the coins still, aren't there?
