Vegas Casinos With Coin-Operated Slots & Video Poker


Key Points:

  • Slots a Fun is the last Strip casino to offer token slots, with around 20 machines.
  • El Cortez is the last standing option downtown, offering both coin VP & slots.
  • The number of token/coin machines in Las Vegas is declining rapidly.

In a world overtaken by unexciting TITO-tickets, many of us are left craving the nostalgic clanging of tokens against a metal tray, blackened fingertips, and overflowing buckets.

As they slowly fade, I figured it'd be fun to track the last real coin-and-token slot and video poker machines on the Strip & on Fremont Street.

Slots A Fun at Circus Circus offers one of the more extensive selections of token slots, about 20 machines, that take and dispense quarters, $1 tokens, and $5 tokens.

These machines were once on the main gaming floor at Circus Circus, but most were moved to Slots A Fun to reinvigorate the languishing casino.

While most of the old-school slots are now at Slots A Fun, I recently stumbled upon a bank of $1 token machines on the second level of Circus Circus, along the walkway toward the pool.

Weird spot, with minimal foot traffic. But ok.

El Cortez

The vintage property still offers a room full of coin video poker machines, along with a small bank of $1 token slot games.

Honorable Mention - Golden Gate

Golden Gate recently inherited Sigma Derby from sister property the D. The iconic horse racing game is the last of its kind in Las Vegas, and accepts/dispenses quarters.

Realistically, coin and token-operated machines will continue to ride off into the sunset as parts become more scarce over time.

That hypothesis is proven by the fact that I've consistently had to delete casinos from this list over the years, but never add.

Play 'em while you can!
