Las Vegas Coin Slots

If ever-improving technology couldn’t make coin slot machines extinct in Las Vegas, a pandemic wasn’t going to either. Because of a nationwide coin shortage brought on by business closures out of.
The number of casinos in Las Vegas with coin games continues to dwindle. In 2019, Plaza and Poker Palace removed all remaining coin games. Fremont did the same after the COVID-19 closures. There are still several other casinos with these games.
El Cortez
El Cortez has the most coin games of any Las Vegas casino. It has entire sections of the casino floor dedicated to its over 200 coin video poker and slot machines. Titles include Deuces Wild, Double Deuces Wild, Double Double Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Bonus Poker and Joker Poker.
El Cortez is the only Las Vegas casino with nickel coin video poker. These machines are in the back room closest to the parking deck. There are also quarter and dollar denominations near the Subway and main cage.
California
There are still a few dozen coin video poker games at California, sometimes referred to as The Cal. Most are by the Main Street entrance. There are some 10/7 Double Bonus, Treasure Chest and other bonus games in that area by the door. A handful of full pay Jacks or Better coin machines are by the valet entrance, as well as a couple of others. The Jacks or Better machines do not accept bills. The others do. Denominations are quarter and dollar.
Main Street Station
Main Street Station has not yet reopened. However, I am told by a Boyd Gaming representative that the coin games there are safe. Options include the rare Aces No Faces and Treasure Chest Poker. There are also a variety of typical video poker titles like Deuces Wild Bonus, Double Bonus and Double Double Bonus.
Jerry’s Nugget
Jerry’s Nugget has been shrinking its coin game section over the years. There are still a few banks left. These include 9/6 Double Double Bonus, full pay Double Deuces Wild and full pay Jacks or Better. Most Jacks or Better machines only accept coins. An old-fashioned cart is still available to buy coin rolls. These are quarter games.
Circus Circus
Circus Circus has about 30 $1 coin slots. These are all old-style reels. Circus Circus put up dividers between these machines upon reopening after the COVID-19 closure. Signs in the area promote a 97 percent payout for these slots.
Skyline Casino
Skyline Casino is like a time capsule. It is on Boulder Highway between Sunset and Warm Springs near Jokers Wild. Most of the machines in the rear of the casino pay with coins, though all have bill acceptors. Video poker titles include Deuces Wild, Double Deuces Wild, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Sevens Wild and White Hot Aces. Most pay tables are at or above 99 percent. The best is 10/7 Double Bonus. There are still a few hunchback keno machines. Denominations are quarter and dollar.
Eldorado
Eldorado is in downtown Henderson. It has a handful of coin games near the side entrance. Titles include 10/7 Double Bonus and 8/5 Bonus Poker. The denomination is quarter. It has not yet opened since the COVID-19 closure.
Sigma Derby at The D
There is one coin game left at The D. It is Sigma Derby, a classic horseracing game. It uses quarters for play and payouts. The D once had a retro casino on its second floor that was full of coin games. These machines disappeared a few years ago.
Over the years, the endorphin triggering sound of coins hitting a metal tray has disappeared from casino floors across Las Vegas. It won’t surprise you that coin dispensing slots, with their million moving parts, require a significant amount of maintenance. In addition to maintenance, backfilling machines with coinage, and the requirement to handle all those coins is burdensome for the casino. Gameplay is also much faster when players use modern Ticket-in Ticket-out (TITO) technology vs. inserting and taking payment with coins and tokens.
As such, most casinos have moved to convert their coin slot machines and video poker to TITO operation because it is easier for the house, and less expensive.
For long time gamblers though, a slip of paper just doesn’t have the same allure or vintage feel that a bucket full of metal tokens does. Many of us still crave that metallic ting that has gone quiet on so many gaming floors.
With that in mind, we wanted to cover which Las Vegas casinos still offer coin-operated slots and video poker so that you can hunt them down!
Las Vegas Coin Operated Slots
Circus Circus offers one of the more extensive selections of token slots, about 20 machines, that dispense $1 tokens near the front entry.
Slots a Fun has about 8 quarter machines near the front of the casino that take and dispense real coins. Circus Circus and Slots a Fun are the only spot on the Strip to find coin slots at this time.
Main Street Station also doesn’t offer coin slot machines, however, it does have 15-20 quarter denomination video poker games that accept and dispense quarters.
Plaza has historically offered a number of coin-operated dollar slot machines, however, we’ve been informed that the last 2 coin-operated slot machines will be removed by November of 2019. Plaza will continue to offer several denominations of coin in/out video poker.
El Cortez features one of the more extensive collection of coin-operated machines with an assortment of over 200 video poker variants. Only one well-marked bank of dollar slots that accept and dispense tokens has survived, however, near Naked City Pizza.
The D has replaced nearly all of their coin-operated slots with TITO technology. They are, however, the last property in Las Vegas to offer the coin-operated Sigma Derby horse racing game. Make stopping over a priority as Sigma is notoriously challenging to maintain. MGM Grand recently removed the second to last unit in operation from their casino floor.
Realistically, coin and token-operated machines will continue to ride off into the sunset as parts becoming more scarce over time. At the 2019 Global Gaming Expo, a platform for gaming manufacturers to show off their new machines, there (not surprisingly) wasn’t a coin-operated unit to be found.
