> Stevens and company eventually tracked down a machine in “either in northern Nevada or northern California,” although he no longer recalls the specifics.

They removed one of these from Montbleu Casino in Stateline, NV / Lake Tahoe a couple of years ago for a remodel. Everyone I knew was really upset about it... Even if you weren’t playing, it was a blast to grab a drink and stand around cheering folks on. There was never any word what was happening to it, many people hoped it would come back just in a different part of the casino. Unfortunately it never did. I wonder if this is its new home?

You remember the 1-5 guy? 1-5!!! 1-5!!!
