Is it Legal to own a Slot Machine in Texas? |
 |
 |
 |
YOU CAN LEGALLY OWN A SLOT MACHINE IN TEXAS! | Texas, unlike some states, allows you to own a real slot machine (gaming device), for your personal use, as long as you do not operate it for gambling (operate it for a profit). This is different than some of the other states. Many require that the machine be a certain numbers old, considered an antique. Still, others will not allow you to own or possess a Slot Machine of any age! In Texas it is perfectly and completely legal to own whatever Slot Machine you like. We do, however, suggest to the use of Tokens instead of using U.S. coins. See our page on Houston Slot Machines Sells Tokens. Tokens for slot machines are only good for your slot machines. They are slightly larger than, let's say for example, a quarter. Once converted, a quarter equivalent token will be accepted and a real quarter will drop right on through and be rejected. No more loss of your coins when the kids are around and you are not. Houston Slot Machines stocks most of the tokens you'll need for your machine's denomination. |

What kind of maintenance does a slot machine need? |
|
|
|
MODERN SLOT MACHINES REALLY REQUIRE NO MAINTENANCE | Unlike older mechanical slot machines, which required periodic internal cleaning, adjustments and lubricating of the moving parts, modern day, computerized slot machines do not require that type of attention. Today's slots will require just a little external cabinet dusting or wiping with a towel, slightly dampened with water. Also, lamp replacement behind the slot glass, top candle and buttons may be required in time. If your slot machine is equipped with a bill validator, the bill path may get dusty over a period of years and can be cleaned with bill validator cleaning pads which can be purchased from us. Remember, if you feel uncomfortable doing any of these maintenence items yourself, we offer excellent in-home service for a nominal fee. We at Houston Slot Machines want you to be happy and satisfied with your slot machine so our pledge is to assist you before, during and after your purchase. |
