Key Points:
- On the Strip, Slots a Fun (at Circus Circus) is the last casino to offer token slots with about 20 machines.
- On Fremont Street, El Cortez is the last bastion of old-school, offering both coin VP & slots.
- The total number of token/coin machines in Las Vegas has been steadily declining, and I expect this trend to continue.
In a world overtaken by unexciting TITO-tickets, many of us are left craving the nostalgic clanging of tokens against a metal tray.
As they slowly fade, I figured it’d be fun to track the last real coin & token slot and video poker machines on the Strip & on Fremont Street.
Vintage Slots on the Strip
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 located on the main gaming floor at Circus Circus, but were recently all moved over to Slots A Fun to reinvigorate the languishing casino.
At this point, Slots A Fun is the only casino on the Strip that offers real coin/token slot games.
While most of the old-school slots are 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.
Vintage Slots on Fremont Street
El Cortez
The vintage property still offers a good number 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 I’ve consistently had to delete casinos from this list over the years, but never add.
Play ’em while you can!

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.

@Sanjuana cervantes, yes 100% agree. In fact I have not been for a long time, new machines are not fun.
